Discover the potential of digitalization Siemens supports the whole engineering workflow with a digitalized plant Workflow step Clarification of automation tasks Without simulation With simulation • Specification from one sentence to many pages in Microsoft Word ™ • Often difficult to understand and incomplete • Requires a lot of clarifications • Leads to misunderstandings • Risk of missing and wrong code • Risk of increasing projects costs • Build up an early (maybe simplified) process model • Clarify behavior with customer with help of a graphical representation of the plant and actuators/sensors (e.g. open a valve, start a motor, …) • Demonstrate dynamic behavior • Add missing / correct functionality • Get an excellent understanding of customer requirements and his plant • Create a basis (virtual plant) for excellent automation programming • Create confidence between customer and supplier • Many loop backs in clarificationengineering phase • Shift clarification problems and risks to commissioning phase • Prolonged startup and commissioning time • Fast startup after DCS implementation / migration • Reduced risks for commissioning © Siemens AG 2015.

Discover the potential of digitalization Siemens supports the whole engineering workflow with a digitalized plant Workflow step Simulation based engineering & virtual commissioning Without simulation With simulation • Complete real equipment (hardware environment) cannot be built up in an office environment • Real equipment is not available or not setup in an early phase • Process details are not available or even not existing (green field) • We rely on the knowledge of programmers • He needs to know all behavior of actuators/sensors/plant/process • He need to know all failure scenarios • Use already available behavior from SIMIT libraries • Build up a knowledge management system for testing and simulation with Lego™ type blocks (macros, templates, components, libraries) Synergy and reuse of typicals • Animate movements and process values (e.g. tank level) for better understanding • Create test environment by drag & drop, store/load different test scenarios • No need to build up hardware (controllers, cabinets, actuators, sensors, …) • Prolonged startup and commissioning time • Riskless testing and tryout = virtual commissioning © Siemens AG 2015.

Discover the potential of digitalization Siemens supports the whole engineering workflow with a digitalized plant Workflow step Operator training Without simulation With simulation • Real plant cannot (or only very limited) be used as a training system • Scenarios cannot be stored and loaded (no snapshot functionality) • Training with real equipment needs long time to get into a specific state • Failure scenarios can in some cases destroy equipment, pollute environment, harm people • Train and tryout without any risks for people, equipment and environment • Store and reload any situation (image of controllers and of process) by a simple double click • Prepared operators at ramp-up • Start production with “full power” • Training without preparation for various scenarios, just by loading the desired situation via snapshot • Fast and correct reaction on any failure situation • Increased availability • No training system at all • Long ramp-up because of missing knowledge • A lot of support needed • Wrong reaction in case of a critical plant disturbance • Increased risks for equipment and staff © Siemens AG 2015.
