Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines, and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected
to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary
and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are
in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please

PCS 7 SMART applications
You create a smart project on an Engineering Station (ES), which provides various
applications. All applications have simplified user interface to ease your operations and display
your configuration data. When you work through Getting Started project, you will use the
following applications:
● SIMATIC Manager - the central application and gateway to all other applications that you
use to create a PCS 7 SMART project. SIMATIC Manager is the starting point for creating
your entire project.
● HW Config - used to configure entire hardware of a system, for example, CPUs, power
supply, and communications processors.
● Continuous Function Chart (CFC) and Sequential Function Chart (SFC) Editors - used to
create CFCs and SFCs.
● Operator Station (OS) - used to configure the OS.

4.3 Introduction to SIMATIC Manager
SIMATIC Manager
SIMATIC Manager is the central application within the PCS 7 SMART system and is used to
access all the other applications to configure your PCS 7 SMART project.
SIMATIC Manager and all other applications are linked. For example, all the blocks you have
inserted into a CFC chart using the CFC editor.
This linking provides convenient access to all the data created in SIMATIC Manager and its
applications. For example, you can visualize a process tag from a CFC chart quickly and easily
when configuring the OS.
Due to the central function of SIMATIC Manager within PCS 7 SMART, it is worth taking time
to become familiar with its structure and functions.

4.5 Different views of SIMATIC Manager
Different views of SIMATIC manager
SIMATIC Manager provides you with three views. An important feature of these views is that
the objects they contain exist only once in reality but can be displayed and edited in the various
views.
The structural principle of the views is the same. The left pane displays the tree view and the
right pane displays the detail view. Each view has advantages for performing certain tasks:
● Component view : Displays the physical memory location of the individual objects. For
example, charts and blocks. In this view, you can view the mapping of blocks and charts
to the relevant AS.
● Plant view: Displays the exact hierarchical structure of your plant. You can divide the plant
into units and see which charts and which process pictures belong to which unit.
● Process object view : Displays the details of individual objects from the plant view. This is
applicable when you want to assign the same parameter value to a large number of objects
or if you want to add the same comments or make the same interconnections for these
objects.

5.1.1 The "color_gs" project
Introduction
After a brief overview of PCS 7 SMART (Page 21), you can start creating the color_gs project.
Additional theoretical knowledge is required to understand these instructions. Hence, each
topic is provided with some background information.
Plant description
Only a small part of the entire plant will be configured for automatic dye production since
configuring the entire plant will be out of scope for this Getting Started project. This minimal
plant configuration will be integrated with the entire plant to understand the overall context in
a better way.

The individual phases of the production process are:
Phase I - Raw Materials
The liquid raw materials for the product are stored in two raw material tanks and are pumped
from these tanks to the reactors.
The solid raw materials are stored in three silos. Screw conveyors are used to measure out
the solid raw materials from the silos to a weigh hopper for weighing. Another screw conveyor
and a blower are used to blow the raw materials into one of the two mixing tanks in the correct
mixing ratio.
Phase II – Production
The required quantities of liquid material are fed from the two raw material tanks to Reactor 1
or Reactor 2 by means of valves. The solid materials from the mixing containers are transported
via screw conveyors to the reactors where they are blended using an agitator. The product is
produced in the reactors by agitating, heating and cooling the raw materials together with the
additives. Valves and actuators control the temperature in the reactors. If required, water from
a filtration plant can be introduced into the reactors using a flow controller.
Phase III - Holding Phase
The product is pumped to a holding tank for post processing. Here, it is stirred slowly and kept
at a constant temperature.

5.1 Planning the project
Phase IV – Filling
After the holding phase, the product is temporarily stored in a filling tank. From there, it is filled
into bulk tank trucks or small packing drums.
Phase V – Cleaning
The reactors, piping, valves, actuators, holding tank, and filling tank can be cleaned by a
cleaning-in-place (CIP) system. The resulting wastewater is collected in a separate effluent
tank and disposed.
5.1.2 Task list for Getting Started
Specific Configuration Task
You will now configure part of Phase I – Raw Materials:
Specifically, you will configure the storage of the liquid raw materials in two raw material tanks
and the pump control used to pump these raw materials to the two reactors.

Explanation of the piping and instrumentation flow diagram
The terms used have the following meanings:
● LI111 (level indicator): measurement of the current fill level of the raw material tank.
● NK111 and NK112 (customer-specific identifier for valves): shut-off valves which must
always be opened for dosing raw materials.
● NP111 (customer-specific identifier for motors): pump that transports the raw material to
the reactors.
● NK113 or NK114 (customer-specific identifier for valves): valves, of which only one may
be open at a given time, in order to transport the raw material to either reactor 1 or reactor
2.
● FC111 (flow control) : actuator which regulates quantities for the raw material.
The states of the valves NK111 to NK114 can be displayed and monitored in the operator
station. You also have the possibility to influence the dosing via FC111.

5.1.3 System configuration for the 'color_gs' project
Structure
The color_gs project will be implemented on a minimum system consisting of a single
automation system with a combined engineering station and operator station. The operator
station is designed as a single station system. The following figure illustrates the system
configuration.
Description
In Getting Started, you will build a control system which contains the following components:
● Automation system (AS):
The individual components are described in the section "Requirements for performing the
Getting Started".
● Program, which controls the "color_gs" plant:
You create this program in the ES and download it to the CPU. The CPU executes the
loaded program and displays the process values.
● Operator station (OS):
The plant operator controls and monitors the plant during runtime. You can create the
process picture seen by the plant operator on the OS.
Note
Plant configuration and hardware settings that result from it need to be especially adapted
to the requirements of this Getting Started.
When you configure a real project, you will use more automation systems and also operate
the engineering station and operator station(s) on several computers. In this case, the
hardware settings will be more complex. This will no longer correspond to the Getting
Started descriptions.
