SIPAPER DCS APL (Advanced Process Library) is the standard library for implementing automation and process control solutions in the fiber industry and, together with the predecessor libraries, has been a part of the industry for more than 30 years.
Benefits
ENG_619331.XML
Long-term investment security in the fiber industry
Since automation systems and their associated libraries are created for a relatively long service life, proactive management of the system life cycle is an absolute must. For libraries, it can be assumed that they will be updated one or more times, or replaced entirely, during their life cycle, and will therefore require migrations. For the entire bandwidth of different DCS libraries for the fiber industry, the ability to migrate a previous library to the current library has always been an important aspect of planning. This involves lowering life cycle costs, maintaining continuity, securing competitiveness and avoiding obsolescence.
SIPAPER DCS APL is a fixed component of the SIPAPER product family that also includes SIPAPER Drives APL, SIPAPER Winder APL and SIPAPER QCS APL.

S_PCS7_XX_00226
The SIPAPER DCS APL library consists of a comprehensive palette of tested blocks and preconfigured typicals with corresponding symbols and faceplates. Easy to configure and completely documented, the library ensures a high level of engineering quality and results in significantly shorter times during the construction and engineering phase.
The latest library, SIPAPER DCS APL, builds on previous libraries, our long-term experience in the fiber industry and our interaction with customers and industry consultants. It meets the standard specifications and offers visually appealing symbols and faceplates for easy navigation and user interaction.
A new version of SIPAPER DCS APL usually becomes available within four weeks of publication of a new SIMATIC PCS 7 version. Even though it was designed for the fiber industry, SIPAPER DCS APL is also used in other industries, such as water/wastewater and oil & gas.
