SIMATIC software uses standards:
- EN 6.1131-3 Standard:
The SIMATIC programming languages comply with the standard EN 6.1131-3. This reduces the familiarization and training overhead.
- Microsoft Windows:
The use of Windows-based applications and graphics greatly reduce the familiarization and training process.
SIMATIC software is integrated:
- Common data management:
All project data (e.g. symbol tables, configuration data and parameter assignment data) are stored in a central database. They are available for all tools. This saves time and reduces errors from multiple entries.
- Integral tool system:
User-friendly tools are available for every step of an automation project.
- Compatibility:
The SIMATIC software system platform is compatible with office systems.
SIMATIC software increases productivity:
- Job-oriented tools:
The tools are easy to use and optimized for each application.
- Reusable program components:
Completed program components can be stored in libraries and need only be copied over for subsequent projects.
- Parallel processing:
Subdividing a system into various projects allows you to distribute the processing to different personnel.
- Integral diagnostics functions reduce downtimes and the costs associated with them.
