This course
Automation of a plant with
4 reactors
Decentralized Process Control
System based on SIMATIC PCS 7,
using 1 ES/OS, 1 AS with
distributed I/O and Industrial
Ethernet as System Bus
Determined by the available
training equipment
Tasks on different levels using the
main components of the SIMATIC
PCS 7 Engineering Toolset
In brief, is main subject to the
PCS 7 service course
Getting familiar to the
Engineering Tools by
explanations and examples
You create your own
training project following
predefined tasks during
the course
The process behavior is
simulated in the CPU of
the AS

1.5 Training equipment
Equipment is made available for practicing to support you in getting familiar to the
system.
SITRAIN expects you to use the equipment for that reason only.
The use of external storage devices (memory stick etc.) or disks is only allowed with
permission of the trainer.
1.6 Access to systems of other students
A local network allows you to have access to PC and AS of other students.
Please, only do so with permission of the related persons.
