2.2
Increasing the availability of plants
The S7-400H automation system satisfies the high demands on availability, intelligence, and
decentralization placed on modern automation systems. It also provides all functions
required for the acquisition and preparation of process data, including functions for the open-
loop control, closed-loop control, and monitoring of assemblies and plants.
System-wide integration
The S7-400H automation system and all other SIMATIC components such as the SIMATIC
PCS7 control system are matched to one another. The system-wide integration, ranging
from the control room to the sensors and actuators, is implemented as a matter of course
and ensures maximum system performance.
