Compendium Part D - Operation and Maintenance (V9.0)
Operating Manual, 02/2018, A5E43228948-AA
6
As a distinctly open system, SIMATIC PCS 7 can be flexibly adapted to a wide range of
customer needs. The system software provides the configuration engineer with a great deal
of freedom in terms of project configuration, as well as in the design of the program and
visualization.
Experience has shown that subsequent modernization or plant expansion work is made
much easier if the project is configured "in conformance with PCS 7" as far as possible right
from the start. This means users must adhere to certain basic rules to ensure that the
provided system functions will offer optimum usability in the future.
This manual serves as a compendium in addition to the product documentation for SIMATIC
PCS 7. The basic tasks for creating and assigning parameters to the project are described in
the form of instructions with numerous illustrations.
The compendium directly reflects the recommended method for configuration, which is
based on the results of a great deal of practical experience. The description relates to
working with the project and the parameter settings of the components it contains but not the
application itself.
The compendium contains the following parts:
● Configuration guidelines including checklist
● Process safety including two checklists
● Equipment phases with SFC types
● Operation and maintenance including checklist
● Hardware installation including checklist
● Industrial Security
Part D describes several runtime scenarios of a plant, for example, maintenance, expansion
and upgrading.
Particular attention is paid to the following topics in this regard:
● Planning and implementing PCS 7 updates
● Replacing modules as spare parts
● Updating firmware and PDM data
● Adding hardware and functions
● Checklist with important points for preparation and implementation of project changes and
installation of updates.
