SIMATIC PCS 7 utilizes the benefits of the PROFIBUS from start to finish:

• Small planning and engineering overheads as well as low commissioning costs
• Optimum distributed system structure with low hardware and space requirements
• Significantly reduced overhead for wiring, jumpering, distribution, power supply and field mounting
• High-speed communication with high measurement accuracy
• Efficient engineering, interoperability and replaceability of devices through vendor-independent device description
• Short commissioning times through short loop tests, easy parameterization and the elimination of calibration work
• Bidirectional communication and high amounts of information permit enhanced diagnostics functions for fast fault locating and troubleshooting
• Optimum life cycle management thanks to processing and evaluation of diagnostics and status information by the Maintenance Station
