Distributed Control Systems Trainer
Description
The trainer system is designed to understand the DCS hierarchy and its use. It is a full-fledged industrial system consists of devices from the leading industrial automation component manufacturer of Siemens Inc. The distributed I/O devices are the ideal solution for such systems:
• The control CPU is located at a central location.
• The I/O devices (inputs and outputs) operate locally at their distributed locations.
• The powerful PROFIBUS DP with fast data transmission speeds ensures that the control CPU and the I/O devices communicate smoothly.
The typical structure of a PROFIBUS DP (Distributed Peripherals) network is shown below.

Software
- SIMATIC PCS 7 V9.0:
SIMATIC PCS 7 DCS software utilizes the power of PROFINET. It completely adheres to the Ethernet standard in
accordance with IEC 802.3, which makes it the reliable future-proof standard that paves the way for digitalization in the process environment. Some of the fundamental PROFINET functions for the process industry have now been integrated into the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system:
• Scalable system redundancy
• Configuration in Run (CiR)
• High-precision time synchronization for sequence of events (“SoE”)
