Integration services - for a system-compliant device connection to SIMATIC systems!
Multi Vendor Device Integration
Multi Vendor Device Integration offers the possibility to homogeneously integrate field devices or controllers of different manufacturers into automation systems based on SIMATIC S7, SIMATIC WinCC, SIMATIC PCS 7 / PCS neo. Several integration levels are available for this purpose. Using SIMATIC PCS 7 as an example, these range from simple PLC driver blocks to complete integration into the control system, including diagnostic blocks, driver wizard, maintenance station and OS faceplates. Thanks to our many years of experience in device integration, you can benefit from the standardized and efficient implementation of your individual requirements.

Multi Vendor Device Integration benefits
Defined service elements and contract-specific parameters form the components for a modular lifecycle service contract. In cooperation with you, we carry out the selection and definition of these plant-specific service elements and the contract parameters.
The contract solution is based on the specific requirements of the plant and the necessary maintenance concepts.
Advantages at a glance
- Long-term investment protection
- Ability to plan modernization and maintenance costs at the time of investment (duration of up to 15 years; TCO)
- Increase plant availability through contracted response times for servicing, spare parts supply and preventive maintenance
- Manufacturer know-how
- Ensuring serviceability through services, software and contractual support throughout the plant lifecycle
- Project management from a single source
