PLSDOC ® RE - Lifecycle Documentation

PLSDOC^® RE

Reverse Documentation (Reverse Engineering)

PLSDOC^® RE provides reverse documentation (reverse engineering) of SIMATIC PCS7  or any OPC-supporting PCS/PLC systems across the entire plant life cycle.

• Changes are automatically recorded, logged and stored in a revision history
• Central change documentation: changes are immediately recorded and are centrally accessible
• Transparent and complete change documentation
• Documentation without any redundancies

Benefits

• Increased plant safety due to fewer sources of error
• Prevention of duplicate work
• Reverse documentation, plant documentation of existing PCS/PLC systems
• Paperless recording and commenting of changes
• Documentation of the plant life cycle
• Transparent, up-to-date and complete change documentation

Functions

• PLSDOC is the interface between plant documentation and the process control technology
• Changes in the PCS/PLC world are logged in real time including document update
• Plant documentation is available in the IT world and in SCADA systems (a direct integration into the operating and monitoring stations is possible)
• Update "on demand" of the sequence controls or step chain documentation (SFC)

Technologies

• OPC connection to the PCS/PLC world: Siemens PCS 7 / S7 WinCC, Emerson Delta V, Freelance, ABB 800xA etc.
• Special solutions for older systems such as Contronic P, Teleperm M, Advant Master etc.
• Monitoring of redundant server pairs as part of the reverse documentation and switching to a redundant server whenever an active server fails
• No data loss if the connection between OS server and PLSDOC^® RE is interrupted because of the buffering of the change information
• Update of the plant documentation (HTML documents)
• Central, company-wide database solution
