Add-ons as options for the SIMATIC PCS 7 Maintenance Station

Alarm Control Center alarm management system

The WinCC Alarm Control Center (ACC) alarm management system transmits alarms from visualization and control sys- tems to mobile receivers such as cellphones or pagers.

The messages are automatically sent to the responsible per- son or group of people. If no response is received within a pro- grammable period of time from a notified person (such as a text message), other people are notified. In conjunction with the escalation system, alarm scenarios can be implemented for a wide range of requirements.

Even the basic package incorporates a shift management faci- lity, enabling personnel to be assigned depending on the time and the day of the week.

Text messages are sent via ISDN, analog modem or GSM mo- dem. For additional requirements, transmission channels are available for systems including VOIP, voice and PABX systems. Configuration and user control is web-based, via LAN or Wire- less LAN.

Further options allows the Alarm Control Center to be adapted to individual requirements. The Replication option enables high-availability, redundant systems to be configured. The dialog module permits active contacting of participants, e.g. to log off a station by remote configuration or to query pro- cess values. Advanced call archive analysis enables detailed logs to be generated, and supports other quality assurance measures.

PM-MAINT intelligent maintenance management

The PM-MAINT add-on supplements the SIMATIC Maintenance Station with the following functions:

Maintenance planning

PM-MAINT can be used for planning, based on performance data or calendar intervals, so as to define clearly when which maintenance tasks are to be carried out. Damage reports and repair jobs from the SIMATIC Maintenance Station also enable unforeseen maintenance work to be scheduled.

Management of supplementary information

Data essential to effective maintenance can be entered rela- ting to the maintained plant and machinery. In addition to component, manufacturer and sourcing data, electronic do- cuments can also be linked to the items and related mainte- nance jobs. This provides maintenance staff with direct access to aids such as repair instructions, circuit diagrams, photos, manuals and the like.
