Automation of widely spread process plants
In a number of industries, especially the oil & gas,
water & wastewater, power and transportation sectors,
plants may sometimes be extremely widely spread. Individual
distributed units may even be more than a thousand kilome-
ters away from a central unit with a significantly higher degree
of automation.

With a gas pipeline, for example, several slide valve and mea-
suring stations are distributed between one of the compressor
stations at the beginning of the pipeline and the relief station
at the end.

A further example is the canal system of a widely branched
wastewater network connected to a central sewage treatment
plant via pumping stations and stormwater overflow tanks.

In both cases it is necessary to monitor regional units such
as stormwater overflow tanks, pumping stations, slide valve
stations or measuring stations from a far off control center, or
to control them in the context of the complete plant.

Telecontrol systems with which automation functions can be
executed from a remote control center over a telecommunica-
tion network (wide area network/WAN) are the ideal solution
for such tasks.

The automation of a process plant, as described above, is dis-
tributed in conventional implementation concepts between
heterogeneous system levels. Process control systems (PCS)
are normally used for units with a higher degree of automa-
tion, e.g. the central sewage treatment plant. On the other
hand, the local automation of small units with a low degree of
automation (pumping stations, stormwater overflow tanks) is
carried out using simple remote terminal units (RTUs) which
communicate with their control center by means of a telecon-
trol link. To enable global monitoring, all systems of the auto-
mation project (PCS and RTU) are integrated in a host network
control system.

However, it is far more effective if the telecontrol center for
the RTUs is directly integrated into the process control system
using SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl. In this case, the network
control system as a superimposed integration level can be
omitted. Uniform process control and totally integrated engi-
neering for central and widely distributed units, together with
simple and convenient data management, result in high effi-
ciency with regard to operation and engineering. Low training
and servicing costs are further positive aspects.
