Project objective
The customer has an obsolete installation that controls several process installations. This installation causes a multitude of problems because it is not well defined from the start and because it has outdated control hardware.
The customer is advised to upgrade the entire system under the following conditions:
- Upgrade control hardware (TIA PORTAL offered)
- Separating process zones into different control systems
- Comply with the Data Integrity standard as the client's pioneer facility in compliance with this standard. The implementation guidelines of the standard will be used in future installations.
- Minimum downtime of the installation.
- Eliminate the Profibus network that causes so many problems.
- The system is based on Siemens TIA PORTAL hardware and software (S7-1500 + TP1200).
- Client server with Simatic Logon for centralized user management.
- Each panel is licensed Audit Trail.
- The generated files are stored encrypted in a network path.
- Separation of the control systems to be able to work in one installation with the other de-energized.
- Installation and documentation validated by the customer.
