SIMATIC Route Control

Introduction

 

 

 

Overview

Application

SIMATIC Route Control adds a tool for the configuration, control, monitoring and diagnostics of material transports in pipeline net-

7works. It is not specialized on any particular industry.

With SIMATIC Route Control, which can also be combined with SIMATIC BATCH, users of SIMATIC PCS 7 are capable of auto- mating not only their production processes and associated warehouses but also the material transports linking both areas.

SIMATIC Route Control can handle complex networks as well as simple transport routes. In particular SIMATIC Route Control is predestined for plants with a multitude of complex route combi- nations or extensive tank farms such as are found above all in the chemical, petrochemical and food and drinks industries.

The possible applications of SIMATIC Route Control extend from small plants with simple/static lines up to plants in the medium and upper performance range with an extensive network of routes/pipes.

SIMATIC Route Control is particularly recommended for the fol- lowing conditions:

Frequent conversions and extensions of the transport network including actuators and sensors

Transport routes with high flexibility, characterized by:

-Regularly changing materials

-Dynamic selection of the origin and destination of the mate- rial transport (including reversal of direction on bidirectional transport routes)

Numerous simultaneous material transports
