The SIMATIC PCS 7 Industry Library (IL) expands the concentrated standard functionality of the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system in the SIMATIC PCS 7 Advanced Process Library (APL) to include technological blocks and faceplates in APL design. It thereby supports the implementation of a wide variety of technological and industry-specific functions, operator control and monitoring via SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels on site as well as the integration of SIMATIC S7 package units into SIMATIC PCS 7 applications.

The foundation of the SIMATIC PCS 7 Industry Library is formed by tried-and-tested industry libraries, for example, from areas such as water/wastewater and building automation.

The core functions of the SIMATIC PCS 7 Industry Library are:

• Integration of SIMATIC S7‑300 controllers (Package Units, Remote Terminal Units)
• Integration of SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels (SIMATIC PCS 7 and SIMATIC S7‑300)
• Functions for building automation (SIMATIC PCS 7 and SIMATIC S7‑300)
• Connection of external Advanced Process Control (APC) applications (SIMATIC PCS 7)
• Multiple control room design (hierarchical structure) for SIMATIC PCS 7
• Communication between controllers (S7-400 Standard and redundant or S7‑300)
• Energy management for SIMATIC PCS 7

Note:

The SIMATIC PCS 7 Industry Library V9.0 can be used together with SIMATIC PCS 7 V9.0. The SIMATIC PCS 7 Industry Library V9.0 supports all operating systems approved for the SIMATIC PCS 7 Engineering System V9.0.
