Industrial plants are operated, monitored, and controlled by means of process management systems.

PMSX^®pro has been designed to fully meet all requirements in terms of availability, efficiency, expandability, and flexibility. It also features a high level of harmonized hardware and software, and includes a finely tuned range of standardized automation equipment.

The process management concept adapts to the plant‘s process engineering structure. Maximum safety, utmost availability, and flexible expandability are obtained by structuring the plant horizontally into function units with specific control and automation tasks. In this way, we achieve a clearly structured, hierarchical and therefore transparent plant structure. Process-related redundancies are not cancelled by the control system.

For efficient plant and maintenance management, PMSX^®pro provides consistent, plant-wide configuration and parametrization from a central point. The possibility of calling dynamic function diagrams, and the consistent forwards documentation ensure that the operators always have a clear process overview – also under critical operating conditions – and thus permit fast and confident response. What‘s more, the integrated Help function plus powerful tools for diagnostics, simulation, and quality assurance assist the personnel in efficient plant operation.

Technical specifications

PMSX^®micro allows users to operate, control and observe small plants, machines, processes or continuous production flows. The plant status, which enables a good overview of the plant at all times, is represented using process graphics. The plant is operated via operating graphics, which reproduce the detailed state of aggregates and make operation easy and convenient. If alarms or messages occur, the operator can navigate quickly and directly to the relevant process graphic, resulting in prompt and targeted response.

PMSX^®micro has a full alarm and event system, which records all alarms and messages, displays them and stores them in a database in their correct sequence. This enables process flows to be traced in the event of disturbances or following changes. The operator can add annotations and comments about events or objects, which are then also available for sub- sequent analysis.

The data collected during operation can be viewed as an operator logbook, thereby highlighting all relevant data during production. Analog data such as measurements or counter readings, but also states such as On or Off can be stored in an archive and evaluated at any time.
