Enveloped in the global economic crisis, the 2009 economic environment slightlyhaze, but this did not disrupt the pace of development Siemens process automation and MES department. The 2008~2009 fiscal year, process automation and MES part not only in sales achieved two digit growth, but also to win has milepost sense Fushunone million tons ethylene project. If by 2007, Sinopec Qingdao refinery project marks the foot SIMATIC PCS 7 into the traditional process industry threshold, then in 2009 the Fushun ethylene project proves that PCS 7 is already in the traditional processindustry will be the complete product line advantage of incisively and vividly. About the PCS 7, is a new starting point.

If today you are still wrestling with the SIEMENS PCS 7 is DCS or PLC, so, very unfortunate tell you, you already fell behind. SIMATIC PCS 7 not only in technology and function with the top DCS systems are the same, also have completed the wholepetrochemical process experience.

More comprehensive industry experience

In 2009 the Siemens PCS 7 is very important for a year, the harvest both in sales andhas won industry recognition: Fushun Petrochemical 10 million tons refinery million tons ethylene project in this year of Siemens, completed the Sinopec Qingdao refinery project, and scored nearly ten line items in the polycrystalline silicon industry.

Among them, the Fushun Petrochemical 10 million tons refinery and one million tons ethylene project is the focus of the eastern region of China Petroleum Engineering construction. SIEMENS for one million tons of ethylene a full set of device providesDCS/SIS system. The project design of a central control room (CCR) and thirteencabinet room (FRR), while the design of GDS, CAS, OPC, AMS, CCTV and clock synchronization system. SIEMENS PCS 7 system as at the field level using PROFIBUS communication protocol DP and MODBUS, a full range to meet the full set of ethyleneprocess control device requirements.

"Fushun one million tons ethylene project for SIEMENS PCS 7 is a very important project, which marks the SIEMENS has to be completed from the refinery to fine chemical whole petrochemical process, the products that we can truly meet the requirements of the customers." According to Xie Cheng introduction, Fushun 10 million tons refinery million tons ethylene project, as the main supplier of SIEMENS areautomation (MAV), DCS and SIS provide all projects as well as the PLC system, which fully embodies the totally integrated automation offered by SIEMENS (TIA) concept, its complete product line allows the user to create unity of spare parts and service. Morevalue for users, which is also some competitors can not do.

After the Qingdao refinery, Fushun ethylene and a series of chemical and pharmaceutical project, SIMATIC PCS 7 has been officially from the breakthrough oftraditional process industry stage, entered into the stage of steady development.Comparing the two periods, Xie hang the focus of the work has also been transferred.

Beginning last year, process automation business more deeply made on the package,and summarizes the successful experience of the promotion in the petrochemical,chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries. In order to guarantee the user canmanage and use DCS system, SIEMENS also through a series of marketing activities,customized training for users, and continuously upgrade the software, the use of more convenient, more easy to maintain.

At the same time, Siemens process automation and MES also in the promotion ofsome important concepts, including the power plant auxiliary integration, MAV, totally integrated automation etc.. Xie Cheng thinks, although at present from the user'sperspective is more use of automation products, but the future users will pay more attention to the whole plant management. For the management of the enterprise, the future will need to see a more comprehensive, more direct information. This requiresindustrial manufacturers to meet the user's demand management as a top priority,through the ERP, MES, DCS integration architecture to achieve better plantmanagement. "For the process automation and MES department, to realize theseamless connection of DCS and MES system is one of our goals, we also are actively trying to carry out the work."

To promote the integration of MES

SIEMENS attaches great importance to the development of MES business in China,this is not only because MES is a relatively young field of business for SIEMENSChina, more important is the huge potential of the MES market in china. "In recent years, China in the fierce a batch of ERP system, users find field data not taken up,ERP as management tools and control is a fault, it is in urgent need of MES system will be added in."

The seamless connection between process control and MES is the SIEMENSimplementation of
