Distributed Control System Controller

Siemens has developed a distributed control system controller. Aimed at industry business segments like energy, healthcare, infrastructure, industries and cities, the SIMATIC PCS 7 AS 410 SMART distributed control system controller is a compact process automation controller for small to mid-sized standard DCS (distributed control system) applications. Designed in Germany, the AS 410 SMART comes with the same sturdy hardware and quality as that of the preceding AS 410 controller. It has a conformal coating, which enables it to withstand harsh temperature conditions and shocks. The controller provides repeatability, which reduces engineering efforts. This means that once a standard solution is designed, the same can be used for several similar applications as well. 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 the key advantage of this controller.
