Visualization and operation possible using a single-user system up to distributed multi-user systems with redundant servers
Logging and archiving of process and system data in a central database
Integration of different analyzers in a uniform communications network
System software
Siemens SIMATIC WinCC for the HMI functions
Microsoft SQL Server for archiving and data collection
Microsoft Windows/ Windows Server as operating system
Communication
An Ethernet network is the basis for communication
Integration of analyzers using PROFINET, ModbusTCP or OPC data exchange
Analyzes without a communication interface can be integrated by connecting the signals to Siemens SIMATIC components
Data exchange with other systems possible using OPC
Networking
Siemens Scalance Ethernet switches for design of electrical and optical Industrial Ethernet in line and star structures; design in ring structures is possible to increase the fail-safety of the network
Integration of the ASM in an existing Ethernet network may be possible
