Data exchange between SIMATIC PCS 7 Plant Automation Accelerator and SIMATIC PCS 7
Performance in engineering
With regard to planning and engineering, performance can be equated with minimizing time and costs. "Integrated Engineering" offers a unique approach here: an integrated planning workflow from the description of the process to the automation program.
Using the SIMATIC PCS 7 Plant Automation Accelerator (PAA), both engineers and planning offices and end users can significantly reduce their configuration and commissioning costs while simultaneously improving the quality of engineering.
PAA expands the functionality for plant configuration and documentation. To improve efficiency in plant engineering, the PAA provides support generating offers with a plant topology plan and the bills of materials to the automatic generation of SIMATIC PCS 7 data from electrical and function diagrams.

Electrical planning
If electrical planning has been carried out with planning tools from other manufacturers, this data can be imported in Microsoft Excel format using signal or process tag lists.
Benefits
ENG_755242.XML
- Reduced customizing and planning time with integrated processes for engineering, automation and operation
- Shorter project terms with consistent and simple data synchronization between engineering and automation
- Increased plant availability with error-free data transfer and system documentation that is always up-to-date
- Increased engineering efficiency and cost reductions with optimized change management
Function
ENG_755243.XML
Data changes can be undertaken at both ends and exchanged bidirectionally. If the user triggers data exchange, all changes are listed in a comparison and the user can select which changes are to be applied.
The automation hardware, the automation software and their interconnections are generated automatically when signal lists are exported from an external plan.

Engineering wizard
Engineering wizards efficiently support hardware engineering. The PAA uses the complete basic functional scope of COMOS products with
- User administration
- Change management with working layers
- Scalability
The PAA automatically generates hardware and software documents for redocumentation of existing SIMATIC PCS 7 projects.

Function diagram
The PAA is thus the first product to offer the direct connection of a DCS system (SIMATIC PCS 7) to an automation-neutral tool for plant engineering (COMOS) and thus represents a significant step towards the digital plant.
