Shanghai, October 25, 2013 -- recently, global energy management expert Schneider electric announced the launch of a new generation of distributedcontrol system (DCS) -- PES (ProcessExpertSystem, PlantStruxure ™process expert system). The innovative DCS set properties of PLC/SCADA,DCS and the advantages of energy management functions, is a powerful tool for process control and optimization of energy management, help the user to minimize the energy cost to maximize the production targets, parallelmanagement truly realize the "can" and "efficiency".

China is always a big consumption of energy, especially the industrial energy hungry. The ministry data shows, in 2010 the proportion of the total socialenergy consumption industry proportion of total energy consumption has risen to about 73%, wherein, petrochemical, electric power, metallurgy,papermaking process industry becomes the key energy consuming industries.For industrial enterprises, in the face of national energy policy orientation,industry competition pressure at the same time, enterprises are increasinglyenhanced to reduce energy costs, improve enterprise benefit demand.Schneider electric flow, give full play to the advantages of energy management,introduced the DCS system can achieve innovation process management and energy management, the sustainable development of industrial enterpriseautomation support advanced and efficient.

Schneider Electric Industrial Division final user service market directorCharlyLupart said: "PlantStruxure ™ PES is integrated with the characteristics of traditional PLC/SCADA is flexible, open, simple operation, both the traditional DCS with the consolidated database, highly integrated and powerfuldiagnostic function advantage, but also integrated energy management function. They play an important role in the plant's entire life cycle, to realize the real meaning of the 'energy' and 'efficiency' parallel, is expected to become the industrial enterprises to achieve energy-saving target,omnibearing improving process efficiency, and is an important tool to enhance the competitiveness of."

PlantStruxure ™ PES is the Schneider electric PlantStruxure ™ collaborative automation control system of DCS products: it will PLC/SCADA, DCS and the whole life cycle services combined, helps to improve operational efficiency;PlantStruxure ™ PES integrated with StruxureWare ™ ProcessExpert, is aunified software environment, embedded logic control, monitoring system andnetwork architecture management the whole control system, can be configured; in addition, it also further benefit from Schneider electric StruxureWare ™ integration software applications and suite, to provide cross organizational simple integration, the experience and good scalability.

As an integrated seamless architecture controller, monitoring, operation andnetwork, PlantStruxure ™ PES system has powerful function, provide almostaccurate energy and process data information in real time in the unifiedplatform, maintain its coherence, help the factory operations team to achieveproduction and efficiency of KPI (key performance indicators) requirements.

Real time monitoring of energy saving -- through the process control is embedded in the ActiveEnergyManagement ™, PlantStruxure ™ PES can collect and aggregate processing energy data analysis, in-depth understanding of each process energy consumption, the user can be found as soon as possible, idle equipment wear factors, and running down to suspend the obstacle of energy waste, to determine the major energy-saving measuresfeasible in the process, the continuous optimization of energy use.PlantStruxure ™ PES system can give timely feedback to staff in the process of operation, help to strengthen energy conservation training, energy-saving goals to achieve desired.

Improve the operation of intelligent and effective -- PlantStruxure ™ PES provides continuous and real-time observation of the process of operation interface, so that the operator to obtain information production process clear,identify the root cause of any interference, making the right decisions at the right time, shorten the diagnosis time and stop time, increase the plant capacity; maintenance staff can also faster to find fault and fault treatment,enhance the diagnosis, fault prediction capability of the equipment and makethe corresponding planning.

Quick and simple application engineering -- PlantStruxure ™ PES with the application of standardization and reuse function. Intuitive and modern user interface with all the process design software tools, unified platform configuration function, can be obtained from a single point of entry for fastdata system design, and based on the application requirements of flexible expansion and adjustment, the engineering design and debugging time shortens 25%, add fast the factory construction and production, and reduce the project risk.
