Using the Plant Data Services of Siemens, production and process data is captured, filtered and structured and thereby converted into a specific added value. The intelligent analysis of this data plays a crucial role in this process. As a global market leader in the field of industrial automation and drive technology, Siemens can draw on a unique fund of practical experience and on the profound industrial competence of its global network of experts.

Main focus of Plant Data Services:

• Targeted data recording and meaningful analyses using Energy Analytics
• Asset Analytics permits the condition monitoring of running systems
• Integrated security solutions from Industrial Security Services

The use of the CP reduces the expenditure necessary to transmit the data securely to the Operation Center:

• Fully automatic time stamp
  To enable subsequent and correct archiving of process data in the control system, all data frames are assigned with a time stamp at their place of origin.
• Fast and flexible data communication
  The operating personnel is informed immediately by alarms, statuses and values from the process.
• Simple and low-cost engineering
  The cyclic or event-controller transfer of measurements, setpoints or alarms can be implemented in only a few operations and without programming effort.
• Remote diagnostics
  Saves traveling and maintenance costs due to cost-effective remote programming, diagnostics, control and monitoring via the Internet
• Industrial Security
  Protection of automation networks and secure data exchange by means of the integrated firewall.
