Modernization of your DCS Libraries with the libraryexchange to APL

Use Case 1:Block Exchange AS Basic Package(Library Exchange PCS 7 Library to APL)

Analysis:Block Exchange Analysis

Use Case 2:Block Exchange AS Basic Package & project-specific additional services(e.g. additional libraries, OS processing…)

Requirement - Block Exchange : PCS 7 V8.2 or PCS 7 V9.0 SP1

Requirement - analysis: from version PCS 7 V6.1



Use Case 1:Block Exchange AS Basic Package (library exchange PCS 7 Library to APL)

Block Exchange AS Basic Package

Services:Automatic conversion of modules according to predefined conversion rules.The list of contained conversion rules can be found in the manual „DCS Library Services“.

Modular structure:• Processing per PCS 7 multi-project• Additional modules for each automation system (AS type dependent)

Standardized offer(MLFB)

Customer-specific offer:Price on request, based on AS/OSdata analysis


AS Analysis:


Required if:• Scopen and type of the modules to be implemented or the necessary work are not known• Additional libraries are included in the project (e.g. SC, PTE, customer-specific libraries…)

⋅ Transparency as a basis for further technical clarification and project processing

Note:Analysis depending on project size (number of automation systems)

Your advantages in the applications

Modernization

In order to ensure long-term plant availability and to fully exploit the potential of the system, it is necessary tomodernize the PCS 7 plant at regular intervals.In addition to upgrading the system and further standardization, the library exchange is an importantcomponent of a successful modernization. DCS Application Services offers you an approach with tool-supported solution packages.

Systematic plant optimization

We offer you a standardized library exchange at a fixed price and project-specific implementation of AS and OScomponents.Standardized packages can be flexibly extended to include project-specific requirements. The previous analysisenables a reliable calculation and at the same time a reduction of risks when exchanging libraries.

Professional service concept

The library exchange is handled by your regional Siemens sales partner.With the use of software-based implementation tools we guarantee you a fast and secure modernization.Ideally, the library service is performed simultaneously with a PCS 7 upgrade. We offer you ideal conditionswith first-class resources and possible further lifecycle services.


Take advantage of DCS Application Services

The modernization of the libraries enablesparticipation in current and future DCS innovations.

Innovative

Cost-efficientThe use of a uniform library reduces maintenanceand care costs and avoids unplanned servicecosts.

Effective The system-oriented and individual processingwith a standardized procedure leads to efficientsolutions - even for complex tasks.
