February 26, 2014 - Siemens released SIMATIC PCS 7 AS 410 SMART, a compact process automation controller for small to mid-sized standard DCS applications. This compact and easy-to-use controller provides repeatability, meaning once a standard solution is designed, the same can be used for several similar applications as well. This feature not only reduces engineering efforts but also ensures lesser time-to-market. AS 410 SMART can withstand harsh temperature conditions, vibration/shock and EMC requirements. It is also equipped with a conformal coating, which is in line with G3 standards, thus making the controller highly robust.
With a speed of 450 MHz, this multi-processor system is equipped with 48 MB memory and can be scaled up to 800 Process Objects. Simultaneous management and control of different process tasks at different cycle times is yet another advantage of this high speed controller. Additionally, owing to user friendly and simple configuration, lesser training efforts are required for plant operators and maintenance personnel. AS 410 SMART also provides ease of maintenance to customers as only one controller-spare part needs to be managed.
