SIMATIC PCS 7 Distributed Control System

For over a decade, Siemens has partnered with NCERC to elevate renewable fuel production with state-of-the-art technology for process control, simulation and monitoring.

At the heart of NCERC's pilot plant is SIMATIC PCS 7 V9, which automates, visualizes and optimizes the core process equipment for every client.

Other Siemens solutions utilized include SIMATIC Batch, SIMIT Simulation Platform, a variety of digital process instruments, gas analyzers and smart electrical devices.

Jayhawk Fine Chemicals needed to optimize batch production in 4 plants to ensure consistently high quality for diverse customers.

Siemens automation technology used includes SIMATIC PCS 7 with SIMATIC BATCH, SIMATIC Virtualization as a Service, SIMIT Simulation Platform, SIMATIC Logon and SIMATIC ET200iSP IO.

“...Just by installing PCS 7 with BATCH and doing nothing else, we saw a 5% increase in Overall Equipment Effectivess (OEE).” -John Gaines, Business Engineering Manager

Advanced Process Library for SIMATIC PCS 7 minimizes the efforts, risks and costs associated with designing and implementing an automation project.

Companies such as Trident Automation, Pigler Automation and RoviSys have experienced firsthand the many benefits of upgrading to PCS 7 with APL.

APL includes pre-configured and pre-tested function blocks, faceplates and block icons for standardized, simplified, graphically based control of all process equipment.

Birla Carbon has relied for many years on a Siemens DCS to optimize the production of carbon black powder.

Migrating from APACS+ to PCS 7 required transitioning APACS+ IO modules to the newer SIMATIC ET 200SP HA IO.

To support Birla Carbon in achieving a simplified, lower-cost IO cutover requiring minimal downtime, Siemens integrated the innovative Front Adapter (FAD) Solution.
