Migration spectrum

The migration of our own process control systems to SIMATIC PCS 7 is a matter of course for Siemens, and a significant component of the continued supplier/customer relationship. Siemens is additionally able to offer migration solutions for pro- cess control systems from other vendors, e.g. for systems from ABB, Honeywell or Emerson.

Siemens can work closely with the customer’s system integrators when implementing migration projects, for they have the know- how gained over many years of working with the user and ex- actly know the plant as well as the customer’s requirements. This partnership is a guarantee for the companies operating plants that they will receive an optimum migration solution. A further im- portant aspect is that Siemens supports the migration products as well as the standard products by means of product updating and customer support. A special strength of Siemens compared to other suppliers of migration solutions is the ability to offer cus- tomers long-term support through know-how, servicing and pro- vision of components, spare parts and upgrades.

Migration Support Center

Siemens has established several global Migration Support Cen- ters which offer customers further support for migration projects in addition to product support:

•Migration concepts

•Quotation preparation

•Engineering/project management

Development of further migration products and tools

Through the development of flexible migration solutions and ser- vices, comprehensive sector know-how, migration experience developed over many years, and worldwide support, Siemens has laid the foundation for the development of migration solu- tions for third-party control systems. This allows users of third- party control systems to take advantage of the globally leading SIMATIC technology in order to safeguard their investments in new automation technology for the future.

With the future-oriented SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system, innovative migration solutions and services, many years of know-how in process automation and migration, as well as con- tinuous worldwide servicing, Siemens demonstrates its exper- tise and offers the security of a reliable partner.
