The SIMATIC PCS 7 Industry Library (IL) V8.0 expands the concentrated standard functionality of the SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.0 process control system in the SIMATIC PCS 7 Advanced Process Library (APL) to include technological blocks and faceplates for industry-specific applications. It also supports operator control and monitoring via Touch Panels as well as the integration of SIMATIC S7 package units into SIMATIC PCS 7 applications.
At the heart of the SIMATIC PCS 7 Industry Library are several tried-and-tested industry libraries (from fields such as water/wastewater and building automation), whose blocks now have a modern, APL-style design.
Together with the APL, the SIMATIC PCS 7 Industry Library enables harmonized overall solutions with a uniform look and feel for specific control system tasks in many different industries, e.g.:
- Chemical industry
- Pharmaceutical industry
- Water and wastewater
- Glass and solar industry
- Oil and gas
- Food and beverage industry
- Minerals and mining
It helps accelerate the engineering process, reduce the time-to-market, and simplify process control.
Note:
The SIMATIC PCS 7 Industry Library V8.0 can be used together with SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.0.
