Maintenance station

Typical sequence of a maintenance cycle

•Intelligent sensors recognize the threat of failures by means of the implemented diagnostics system long before the actual failure, and can signal these.

•Diagnostics information on network components and basic PC devices is transferred to the maintenance station via an OPC SNMP link present in the assets.

•The symbol of the associated component (e.g. a field device) signals "Maintenance required" on the maintenance station. An entry is automatically made in the message log so that the chronology of occurred events can also be analyzed later. Parallel to this, the vendor’s detailed diagnostics information is determined by means of SIMATIC PDM and the device de- scription (EDD).

•On the overview display, maintenance engineers recognize "Maintenance required" in the technological plant. The mainte- nance engineers are rapidly guided to the corresponding de- vice using standard mechanisms known from the operator sta- tion such as "Common display" and "Operator prompting using loop in alarm". Important information is then shown in the faceplate of the associated device, e.g. process tag number, location and device type.

•The existing detailed diagnostics information on the problem can then be called using the "Diagnostics" view depending on the device type and vendor, e.g. fault description, cause, trend information or handling instructions.

•They can assess the fault in the "Maintenance" view, and ini- tiate corresponding reactions. This can be e.g. the input of a comment or handling instruction, the assignment of a work in- struction number, or the increasing/decreasing of the mainte- nance requirement priority depending on the significance for the technological plant. Current working measures can also be traced/accompanied in this view. All operations can be logged. The log also contains the faceplate contents with ID data, messages, detailed diagnostics information, work in- structions, notes and status.

•The work request with all information gained on the mainte- nance station is passed on to the corresponding maintenance department (identified by symbol "Maintenance order re- quested"). The release for maintenance of the component can also be made on the maintenance station (identified by sym- bol "Maintenance order being processed"). The current status of the maintenance measure is then indicated for all involved parties, and also for subsequent shifts.

•Once the maintenance measure has been carried out, it is concluded on the maintenance station – the status displays then return to the normal state. The complete maintenance cy- cle is documented on the maintenance station without gaps – automatically and without additional configuration overhead.

1)With asset TAGs, the number of asset objects monitored in SIMATIC PCS 7 is licensed. An asset object represents individual hardware components within a SIMATIC PCS 7 project, e.g.

-measuring devices, positioners, switchgear or remote I/O stations monitored per EDD or

-basic devices or Ethernet components monitored in the maintenance station via an SNMP OPC link.

The asset TAGs of the SIMATIC PCS 7 Asset Runtime licenses (groups of 10, 100 and 1000) are cumulative (Count Relevant Licenses).
