Pipe networks and tank farms are found in many areas of the process industry, especially in the chemical, petrochemical or food industries. Controlling material transports is often challenging: material changes, dynamic routes, simultaneous transports or cleaning processes in subsections must be taken into account. SIMATIC Route Control extends the process control system SIMATIC PCS 7 with an efficient "navigation system" for your plant: an industry-independent product for planning, controlling, monitoring and diagnosing routes for liquid and solid materials.
Objectives
The Route Control (RC) course provides participants with advanced knowledge of RC engineering and operation. They extend a SIMATIC PCS 7 multi-project with RC functionality and learn about the RC library, the RC wizard and RC engineering, including modeling an RC project.
Engineering is implemented step by step and extended with more functionality.
