Shanghai, October 25, 2013 - recently, Schneider Electric, a global energy efficiency management expert, announced the launch of a new generation of distributed control system (DCS), plantstruxure ™  PES (process expert system). This innovative DCS integrates the characteristics of PLC / SCADA, the advantages of DCS and the functions of energy management. It is a powerful tool with process control optimization and energy management, which helps users achieve the maximum production goal with the minimum energy cost, and truly realize the parallel management of "energy" and "efficiency".
China has always been a big energy consuming country, especially in industry. According to the Ministry of industry and information technology, the proportion of industrial energy consumption in the total energy consumption of the whole society has risen to about 73% in 2010. Among them, petrochemical, electric power, metallurgy, papermaking and other process industries have become the key energy consumption industries. For industrial enterprises, in the face of national energy-saving policy guidance, industry competition pressure, enterprises to reduce energy costs, improve enterprise efficiency demand is also increasing. Schneider Electric follows the trend, gives full play to the advantages of energy efficiency management, and introduces innovative DCS system that can realize process management and energy management at the same time, and supports the sustainable development of industrial enterprises with advanced and efficient automation technology.
"Plant struxure," said Charly lupart, marketing director, end user business, Schneider Electric industries ™  PES integrates the characteristics of traditional PLC / SCADA, which are flexible, open and easy to operate. It has the advantages of unified database, high integration and powerful diagnosis function of traditional DCS, and also integrates energy management function. It has played an important role in the whole life cycle of the factory, realizing the real meaning of "energy saving" and "efficiency increasing", which is expected to become another important tool for industrial enterprises to achieve energy-saving goals, improve process efficiency in an all-round way, and enhance competitiveness. "
PlantStruxure ™  PES is Schneider Electric plantstruture Gamma DCS products in collaborative automation control system: it combines PLC / SCADA, DCS with full life cycle service, which helps to improve operation efficiency ™  PES integrates struxureware ™  Process expert is a unified software environment with embedded logic control, monitoring system and network architecture management, which can configure the whole control system. In addition, it also benefits from Schneider Electric struxureware Gamma Integrated software application and suite platform provides simple integration, unified experience and excellent scalability across organizations.
As a seamless architecture integrating controller, monitoring, operation and network, plantstruxure ™  The PES system has powerful functions. It can provide accurate energy and process data information in the unified integrated platform, maintain its coordination and consistency, and help the plant operation team to meet the requirements of production and energy efficiency KPI (key performance indicators).
Real time monitoring of energy saving and consumption reduction by embedding active energy management into process control Gamma ， PlantStruxure ™  PES can collect, summarize and process a large amount of energy data, deeply understand and analyze the energy consumption of each process. Users can find the energy waste caused by idle equipment, wear and process operation interruption and shutdown as soon as possible, determine feasible major energy-saving measures, and continuously optimize energy use in the process. PlantStruxure ™  The PES system can also give timely feedback to the operating mode of the staff in the process, which helps to strengthen the training of energy conservation and efficiency and achieve the desired energy-saving goal.
Improving operational intelligence and effectiveness -- plantstruxure ™  PES provides continuous control and operation interface for real-time observation of the process, so that operators can obtain clear production process information, identify the root cause of any interference, make correct decisions at the right time, shorten diagnosis time and downtime, and increase plant capacity; Maintenance personnel can also find and deal with faults more quickly, enhance the ability of diagnosing and predicting equipment faults, and make corresponding plans accordingly.
Plant struxure: a fast and simple application engineering ™  PES has the function of application standardization and reuse. All process design software tools are embedded in the intuitive and modern user interface, and the unified platform configuration function can be used to quickly design the system from a single point of data, and flexibly expand and adjust based on the application requirements, which can shorten the engineering design debugging time by 25%, speed up the plant construction and production, and reduce the project risk.
