Industrial plants or plants in public infrastructure areas are often spread across wide areas, sometimes even across national borders. The range of telecontrol products offers complete solutions with the following features:

• Connection of distributed process stations to one or more control centers
• Use of different public or private communication networks for monitoring and controlling the telecontrol substations
• Event-driven or cyclic exchange of the process data including time stamp via special telecontrol protocols
• Effective control of the overall process by the operating personnel
• Online access to the substations for diagnostics, remote programming and maintenance

TeleControl Basic

TeleControl Basic is a simple remote control and remote maintenance system optimized for the use of public communication networks such as mobile radio and internet for connection to the substations.

It comprises the TeleControl Server Basic control center software and substations of the type SIMATIC S7-1200 or S7-200. In addition to communication between the control center and the substations, the system also enables internode communication between the substations.

Small-scale applications with few outstations can be implemented, as well as large-scale plants comprising up to 5000 outstations.

TeleControl Professional

TeleControl Professional includes telecontrol systems for extensive, expanded applications of the process industry. From SIMATIC PCS 7, SIMATIC WinCC or non-Siemens control systems using OPC, outstations based on SIMATIC S7-1200, S7-300 and S7-400 can be monitored and controlled. The outstations and substations can communicate with each other as well as with one or more control centers. TeleControl Professional has a modular design throughout and can be used with extreme flexibility.

Setup of a telecontrol application based on an example configuration

Both telecontrol systems can be connected to a non-Siemens control center system (OPC client) via OPC.
