SPPA-T3000 system Overview
SPPA-T3000 SYSTEM OVERVIEW For years, control system vendors have continuously deployed new technologies to improve power generation capabilities. To address the increasing demand for real-time data, open- and standard-based components were integrated into proprietary control systems; for example: • Field buses • Open interfaces for data exchange between the enterprise level and production processes • Open databases to name just a few. As a result of these integration efforts, DCS systems have grown into very complex structures, which are known to be difficult to maintain. Furthermore, the proliferation of multiple interfaces, parts, operating systems and the support tools have led to compromising availability and increasing obsolescence concerns. Siemens has taken an innovative approach: the vision of free flow of real-time data, without the need to integrate any internal interfaces into proprietary software architectures. Driven by this vision, and leve
