Engineering
7
The section "Engineering" describes all the configuration steps that you make in the SIMATIC
Manager. Before you implement your automation solution with SIMATIC PCS 7 and SIMATIC
BATCH, you should take the following into consideration.
Which form of project should be selected and how will the engineering be done?
● Project or multiproject (select PCS 7 project type)
● Single project engineering or multiproject engineering
● Central or distributed multiproject engineering
The process cell configuration depends on the automation task
What does the automation task involve? The process cell configuration is the result of this
question. The following process cell components need to be planned:
● AS: number, memory, redundancy
● PCS 7 OS server: Redundancy
● PCS 7 OS clients / multiclients
● BATCH server: Redundancy
● BATCH clients
● Network: span, redundancy
● Uninterruptible power supply (USP)
● Central archive server
The plant structure of your batch process cell is based on the automation task:
● Number of units?
● Number of equipment phases?
Engineering of the basic automation
A batch process is automated using the programs on the automation systems (AS). This so-
called "basic automation" is created with CFC and/or SFC for the specific AS. The software
charts to be created are managed in the plant hierarchy in the SIMATIC Manager. For SIMATIC
BATCH, specified hierarchy levels must be complied with.
