SIMATIC PCS 7
Answers for industry.
Telecontrol_PCS7_GB.indd 1
The requirements for automation in process industries are enormous. Adding to the challenge, many installations are spread out over a very large geographical area - particularly
in the oil and gas and water industries. In these cases, telecontrol protocols are very useful
for integrating the widely distributed remote stations into the control system.
Conventional solutions employ heterogeneous system levels: process control systems for
more complex plant sections, more simple remote terminal units for remote stations with
a lower degree of automation as well as a higher level network control system for monitoring the widely distributed plant.
This requires merging of the separately configured subsystem in a second configuration
step in the higher level network control system. Siemens supplies the intelligent (i.e. integrated) solution with SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl.

Typical applications
Telecontrol_PCS7_GB.indd 3
SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl dramatically increases the degree of integration of your plant:
The uniform user interface for local and remote processes minimizes the risk of errors
the uniform software platform reduces configuration and maintenance work.
Powerful components
SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl is based on
powerful components which are optimally tuned to one another, forming a
user-friendly, flexible telecontrol system
integrated into the entire engineering
concept.
Distributed automation stations (remote
terminal units RTUs):
Based on SIPLUS RIC (remote interface
control) with Modbus/IEC interface, extended temperature range, lower power
consumption, up to approx. 30 I/O signals
Based on SIMATIC S7-300/S7-300F with
SINAUT TIM (TeleControl interface module), Modbus/IEC interface, also available with failsafe functionality, extremely flexible configuration, up to approx. 100 I/O

Easy going:
integration and migration
Serial substations can be connected using
SINAUT ST7 central modules directly
connected to the server. Plants with a
Modbus infrastructure can also be easily
migrated to SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl.
Substations based on TCP/IP can be linked
to the plant bus either directly or with a
router without an additional front end
processor. Data on the SIMATIC PCS 7
TeleControl servers is processed and displayed using corresponding blocks stored
in a library. These blocks support user
guidance as well as the alarm hierarchy of
SIMATIC PCS 7 providing a uniform look
& feel for both plant automation and
telecontrol.

The wastewater network consists of various metering stations within the sewer
network, several rainwater overflow
basins as well as the central sewage
treatment plant. Furthermore, a pumping
station is installed to pump sewage from
low-lying districts into the central sewage
treatment plant. The pump stations are
automated locally using SIMATIC S7-300
controllers, which also contain a TIM module for the telecontrol connection to the
control station. A SIPLUS RIC is used as a
local station in the rainwater overflow basins based on the low number of process
signals, the difficult environmental conditions and the low power consumption.
The stations are connected via private
dedicated lines (telecommunication cable), but it is also possible to dial-up via
the telephone network and/or ISDN. More
remote rainwater overflow basins are
linked via GPRS.
Main features
Efficient and safe control of the entire
sewage network via one central control
room
Economical use of rainwater overflow
basins and protection for sewage treatment plants during precipitation events
High degree of safety and availability of
the communications network based on
the use of private dedicated lines and
GPRS technology.
