PCS 7 Advanced Process Graphics (APG) provide graphical objects for optimizing the process visualization of overview displays that correspond to levels 1 and 2 of the topology-oriented and task-oriented plant hierarchy. They allow the operator to detect trends in the process and to respond to them before an alarm is triggered

PCS 7 Advanced Process Graphics Engineering is optimized for interoperation with the PCS 7 Advanced Process Library (APL). Cooperation with other libraries is also possible, but requires more engineering effort.

In combination with the PCS 7 Advanced Process Library, harmonized overall solutions can be generated. The APG graphic objects are oriented to the design and the operating philosophy of the PCS 7 Advanced Process Library. APL objects adapted to the appearance of APG objects optimize the interplay.

Note:

PCS 7 Advanced Process Graphics Engineering V8.0 can be used in combination with SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.0+SP1.
