How does digitalization take you from Field to the Cloud?
What if production plants could talk? Communication data tells us a lot about operating conditions. Use digitalization connectivity to analyze plant data in order to optimize processes. SITRANS IQ – Measuring what matters.SITRANS IQ: Communicate with your plant
The tool for engineering, ordering, installation and operation
Picture this: Your new process plant is currently being built. While the construction progresses, you start with the engineering – but the process is very time-consuming since there is a plethora of different instruments for a multitude of different measuring points. How about a tool that helps you choose the right device for every purpose and seamlessly migrates this data into your engineering base? Meet the PIA Life Cycle Portal.

The new system uses the recently innovated hardware portfolio and the application architecture of the comprehensive, high-performance SIMATIC PCS 7 V9.0 process control system - optimally balancing protection of investments and expertise.
Digitalize your valves
Siemens Valve Monitoring App provides the SIPART PS2 with extensive control and diagnostics to protect valves and cut maintenance costs:
- Reduced maintenance costs due to predictive maintenance
- Detection of anomalies and wearing for scheduled maintenance
- Increased transparency regarding valve and positioner quality
- Reduced wear and operating costs through optimization of positioner parameters
Simatic Process Device Manager (PDM) and Maintenance Station
As Industry 4.0 and digitalization gradually enter the process industries, process instruments play a vital part in generating process information. With the increasing intelligence of "smart sensors" also comes complexity. SITRANS devices come with on-board maintenance and diagnostic functions such as self-test, drag indication, partial stroke tests and multiple adjustable limit values, as well as sophisticated functions for process monitoring and control.
SIMATIC Process Device Manager (PDM) is a universal cross-manufacturer tool for configuration, parameter assignment, commissioning, diagnostics, and maintenance of intelligent process devices and automation components. More than 4,500 devices of over 200 different manufacturers can be commissioned, parametrized, or serviced using a single program with a uniform user interface.
Wondering whether the device will work with your DCS system?
Our Interoperability Lab team already took care of that. We test our devices upfront with all common DCS systems to make sure that their integration is seamless and easy.
We test the devices with the following DCS systems:
• Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7
• ABB 800xA
• Emerson Delta V
• Yokogawa Centum VP
This ensures proven integration compatibility of SITRANS field devices in all major DCS systems. Whenever you encounter a problem with integrating our devices, do not hesitate to get in touch. Our experts will recreate your problem in the Interoperability Lab and give you feedback and advice.
