Automation of a gas pipeline with block valve and metering stations
Uniform automation of all stations in the gas network
■ SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system for compressor
and pressure reducing stations
■ SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl with SINAUT telecontrol tech-
nology on the basis of S7-300/S7-400 controllers for
block valve and metering stations
■ Combination of process control at one operator station
(SIMATIC PCS 7 OS client)
■ Compliant process control with uniform faceplates,
alarms, trends etc.
High system availability resulting from redundancy
■ Redundant pair of SIMATIC PCS 7 OS servers
■ Redundant pair of SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl OS servers
■ Ring topology with redundant media Integral safety technology for emergency shutdown (ESD)
ESD is integrated homogenously into the automation plant
(compressor and relief stations):
• Redundant safety-related controllers
• Redundant PROFIBUS with PROFIsafe
• ET 200M with F modules
