SIMATIC PCS 7 PowerControl – Integration of Medium Voltage Switchgear according to IEC 61850

In many process engineering plants, large electrical consumers with high energy demand are used, e.g. large drives, compactors, pumps, building infeed, etc. They are integrated via medium voltage switchgear which control, switch and automate the individual consumers via devices for protection and control functions (Intelligent Electronic Devices – IEDs) on the basis of the standard IEC 61850 protocol. In practice, different systems have generally been used for monitoring and controlling the switchgear on the one hand, and for the actual process automation on the other hand.

Advantages

• Significant cost reduction across the entire life cycle of the plant
• More simple plant structures with increased transparency regarding the technological dependencies
• Uniform picture symbols and faceplates for the IEDs with the familiar look&feel from the process automation
• Further increase of the degree of integration and efficiency of the plant
