Modernizing
of the batch plant at OSRAM/Augsburg
with the SIMATIC PCS7 process control system as a basis
of a modern and open controlling concept
Upgrading and modernization of feeders and weighing
plants proves difficult and time-consuming, because these plants often
appear as a unified whole (black box). In most cases, any manipulation
of the hardware and software components is restricted to the system
manufacturer, with shocking expenses for spare parts, updates, and services.
In comparison, modern feeder technology provides an open system with
standard components from the automation world. Simple and supplier-independent,
such a system faciliates enlargements, adjustments, and service of plants
even in the future.
With their Batch Plant System, Schlemmer
Prozess Systeme GmbH supports this open concept
in modernizations as well as in reconstructions.
