with WinCC Professional (TIA Portal) or WinCC and the SIMATIC PCS 7 process
control system. In this section, you will be introduced to some of the Siemens
product families and their use in the water and waste water sectors.
2.1 SIMATIC Engineering Tools

Depending on the application and requirements, you can use differently powerful
SIMATIC controllers and engineering tools for your water management system.
Thereby a distinction is made between a distributed operation that is at machine
level, local or plant-wide.
SIMATIC PCS 7
With the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system, you can automate customized
solutions from the smallest to the most complex water management system as well
as small operating units (plant sections). SIMATIC PCS 7 is flexibly scalable from a
small single-user system with 50 measurement points and drives all the way up to
128,000 in a multi-user system with redundancy. The max. number of configurable
messages is 200,000 per server/single-user station.
Consistency in data management, secure communication as well as simple
configuration and high performance put the PCS 7 together with the SIMATIC PA
CPU-410-5S/H/E at the heart of your water management system. Existing control
systems by third party manufacturers can also be upgraded step by step or even
migrated to SIMATIC PCS 7 during operation. In the water industry,
PM@ANALYZE and/or Energy Manager Pro are used to store the measured
values and messages in PCS 7; alternatively, ACRON from VIDEC Data
Engineering GmbH can also be used for long-term archiving. Siemens also
supports the integration of Energy Manager Pro as an option.
Outdoor stations are integrated into the process control system of widely
distributed systems such as pipelines or water industry plants via system-compliant
TeleControl systems (simultaneous protocol type: SINAUT ST7, IEC 60870-5-
101/103/104, DNP3, Modbus) using TeleControl for PCS 7. You can find further
relevant information in the Section Remote control technology.

The SIMATIC PCS 7 Plant Automation Accelerator (PAA) is a fully integrated
solution based on COMOS for planning and documentation of plant projects.
You can easily transfer data from PAA to SIMATIC PCS 7 without errors and thus
automatically generate the entire plant structure in the control system. With just
one data platform, project participants from different trades can plan the areas of
your plant in parallel. This saves crucial time during engineering and when
implementing your automation solution.
Changes and adaptations made in SIMATIC PCS 7 during the operating phase can
be played back in PAA at the push of a button. As a result, any changes made are
automatically copied to the entire system documentation. The data exchange
between the two systems connects the worlds between engineering and
automation and allows you to digitalize your water management system.
The SIMATIC PCS 7 Plant Automation Accelerator also provides advantages for
COMOS users: COMOS customers with an existing or planned COMOS
installation can purchase the PAA as a COMOS module with the so-called
"Integration Layer", which allows them to use all available functionalities for fully
integrated engineering with COMOS and SIMATIC PCS 7 by using the SIMATIC
standard objects supplied.

SIMATIC IOT gateways and MQTT protocol

MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is an M2M protocol (machine-to-
machine) which is used with low bandwidths and user data (e.g., with Mindsphere,
Azure and/or Edge).
At the same time, MQTT enables resource-saving communication.
Note For more information on this standard, see: https://mqtt.org/
The MQTT protocol follows the rules of topic-based Publisher-Subscriber

communication. The Publisher (sender) publishes information on various topics. If
a Subscriber (recipient) subscribes to a topic, he will receive all information about
this topic. An MQTT Broker mediates between Publisher and Subscriber, neither of
which need to be connected, nor be executed, simultaneously. Communication is
asynchronous and routing takes place via IP address.
You can operate the MQTT software on the SIEMENS SIMATIC IOT hardware and
manage it conveniently via a web interface. The hardware and software are
available as an "IoT Gateway MQTT" bundle. The bundle is referred to as the "IoT
box" for short.
The documentation for SIMATIC IOT hardware can be found under SIMATIC
IOT2020, IOT2040, or IOT 2050 on the SIEMENS Industry Online Support pages:

Soft starting three-phase motors (SIRIUS 3RW soft starter)

Soft starters limit the starting current and the starting torque. In this way, both
mechanical loads and supply voltage dips can be reliably avoided. The motor
voltage is reduced by phase control and raised from an adjustable start voltage to
the supply voltage within a ramp time. The stepless control of the power supply
adapts the motor to the load behavior of the driven machine. Mechanical
equipment is accelerated particularly gently, its operating behavior is positively
influenced and its service life is extended.
The complete range of SIRIUS soft starters offers the appropriate soft alternative
for almost every application, regardless of whether it is for a standard or high-
feature start. Optimum and future-proof machine concepts can be implemented
very easily and economically with the help of the smooth starting of three-phase
motors.
Functional safety (SIRIUS Safety Integrated)

Safety is essential from the perspective of the asset to be protected. The causes of
hazards and, in turn, the technical measures to avoid them can vary significantly.
This is why a differentiation is made between different types of safety (e.g. by
specifying the cause of possible hazards). We therefore speak of "electrical safety"
when referring to protection against hazards caused by electricity, or "functional
safety" when safety depends on correct functioning. To ensure the functional safety
of a machine or plant, the safety-related parts of the protection and control devices
must function correctly. In addition, the systems must behave in such a way that
either the plant remains in a safe state or it is brought into a safe state if a fault
occurs.
For this purpose, SIRIUS Safety Integrated offers the necessary qualified
technology that meets the requirements described in the relevant standards.

tee rate measurement. In addition, the device provides 6 relays for independent
control of pumps, for example, in accordance with the guidance principle.
The HydroRanger 200 HMI provides direct digital communication to the CPU with
integrated Modbus RTU via RS-485. Optionally, a connection via PROFINET, as
well as PROFIBUS DP, is available. In the event of a CPU failure, the device
operates autonomously as a pump manager without programming by means of
defined parameterization.

3 Specific Solutions/Approaches
The standardization of automation engineering for process plants, such as in the
water industry, is a major challenge. Different process steps and sequences,
different equipment and flexibility in the process make this task more difficult.
One standardization approach includes the use of standard libraries and the
configuring of the plant according to the physical model of the DIN EN 61512
standard. This specifies the lower four levels, i.e. plant, unit, equipment module
and control module. A plant always consists of units. The units contain
standardized equipment modules.
3.1 PCS 7 Libraries

The SIMATIC PCS 7 Advanced Process Library (APL) and Industry Library (IL) are
among those available for implementation. Through the libraries, you can design
your automation in a standardized way by means of predefined blocks.
SIMATIC PCS 7 Advanced Process Library

The library building blocks of APL cover a wide range of functions for process
automation, such as channel blocks, controller blocks, technology blocks and
maintenance blocks. When you create the automation program, the associated
data blocks are installed automatically. Uniform operating elements (faceplates)
are also created automatically for the visualization process.
User-friendly engineering with the APL library reduces the effort involved in
creating your standardized system.
You can find further information about the Advanced Process Library at:
pcs-7/system-library.html
SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl

Optimum plant overview for decentralized process areas: With SIMATIC PCS 7
TeleControl, the outstations can be integrated into SIMATIC PCS 7 so that the
operator notices no difference between central or remote automation with regard to
the operating philosophy and alarm response. SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl can not
only integrate newly configured remote terminal units into the control system
environment, but can also migrate existing subsystems in the outdoor areas.
SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl also simplifies the structure of hierarchical system
configurations.
pcs-7/remote-control.html

Entry ID: 109748869, V3.0, 10/2021 39
SIMATIC PCS 7 SITOP Library

The SITOP library provides you with the driver blocks, function blocks, block icons,

SIMATIC PCS 7 Condition Monitoring Library

The SIMATIC PCS 7 Condition Monitoring Library (CML) provides blocks for
economic monitoring and analysis of mechanical assets (plant components such
as pumps, valves, etc.) that increase efficiency and availability and detect possible
damages as early as possible.

The CML blocks in APL style fit perfectly into the process pictures based on APL.
The following blocks are available:
• PumpMon for monitoring electrically driven rotary pumps with constant and
variable speed (e.g. cavitation monitoring)
• VlvMon for monitoring continuously variable valves with position feedback (e.g.
mechanical damage and soot build-up)
SIMATIC PCS 7 Industry Library

The Industry Library extends the functional scope of the standard APL functionality
with the same look and feel. Thus the libraries complement each other perfectly
and offer a uniform overall solution. The Industry Library supplies blocks for the
following applications:
• Extended multiple control room concept
• HVAC
• Small load management
• Extended unit control
• Special process data monitoring (8 limits)
• Connection of S7-300 / IM151-8 to PCS 7
You can find further information on the Industry Library at:

Entry ID: 109748869, V3.0, 10/2021 40
SITRANS Library
By means of the SITRANS Library, you can integrate process instruments of the
product families SITRANS and SIPART into the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control
system with high quality, efficiency and safety. You can also integrate them in the
S7-300, IM151-8 and S7-400 controllers and in a WinCC system for operation and
monitoring as well as in SIMATIC comfort panels with TIA Portal. The look and feel
is based on the APL standard of SIMATIC PCS 7 and is thus uniform for all target
systems.
Additional information concerning the SITRANS library is provided under:
SIMATIC PCS 7 PowerControl Library

SIMATIC PCS 7 PowerControl allows the integration of switchboards in the
SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system. This enables the merging of process
automation and the automation of electrical switchboards for medium voltages in
one control system. The advantage for plant operators: significant cost savings
over the entire life cycle of the plant.

processes and is optimally adapted to the functions of SIMOCODE pro.
3.2 Water-Specific Master Data Library and Templates

For standardized automation, Siemens offers a special library and configuration
templates tailored to the requirements of the water industry. This is based on the
Industry Library, which is available as an add-on product for SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.0
and WinCC V7.2 or higher. The PCS 7 and S7 templates that are based on this
enable a standardized implementation of complete package solutions as well as
smaller operation and functional units. The templates are already preconfigured
and contain all the typical components for controllers and closed loop controls. The
implementation is carried out with SIMATIC PCS 7 or SIMATIC WinCC.
Water Templates
The Water Templates consist of three hierarchically successive groups and are
based on the physical model of the NAMUR NE33 and ISA S88.01 (ANSI/ISA-
88.01-1995) standards.
Figure 3-1: Siemens Water Templates in relation to NAMUR/ ISA

3.2.2 Water Control Module Types (WCMT)/Water Process Tag Types

(WPTT)
The smallest functional unit of the templates consists of the Water Process Tag
Types ( WPTT) and Water Control Module Types ( WCMT). These are used for
closed loop controls, measured value detection, actuator control, etc.
WCMTs are enhanced WPTTs and offer the following advantages for engineering
in SIMATIC PCS 7 and for mass data engineering with COMOS or with the PCS 7
Process Automation Accelerator:
• Instance-specific changes to the instance of the control module are not lost
during synchronization between type and instance.
• It is possible to generate different variants for an instance based on a single
control unit type. In addition to this, optional blocks are also configured in
WCMT. The activated optional blocks are predefined for each instance. As of
PCS 7 V8.0, this is done in the additional "Technological Connections" view of
the CFC.
You can find the "Standard PCS 7 and S7 Water Templates for the water industry"
at: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/78604785
3.2.3 Water Equipment Module Templates (WEMT)
Water Equipment Modules Templates (WEMT) are available for technical units
which can be composed of controls, valves, sensors, devices/actuators and/or

mechanical components. The individual WEMTs are grouped from various PCS 7
Water Templates (WCMT) or consist of separate control system operation units.
The WEMTs for control system operations (e.g. multi-user selection, aggregate
switching, package unit connection) are stored as CFCs. Regulations, such as the
split-range regulation, are created in the form of a sample solution. WEMTs are
stored in a PCS 7 master data library, consisting of:
• a CFC plan
• a PCS 7 OS block icon
• PCS 7 APL faceplates.
Processing via mass data engineering using COMOS/
An overview of the available WEMTs can be found in the entry:

Entry ID: 109748869, V3.0, 10/2021 44
3.2.4 Water Unit Templates (WUT)
The water unit templates (WUT) are templates for complete units, which consist of
control modules (WCMT / WPTT) and devices (WEMT). All functions are combined
into a logical unit within the WUT, to provide you with an easy-to-use template for
the automation solution of a unit.
The following WUTs are available to help you build know-how and as a template
for your own projects:
• PCS 7 Water Unit Template - Control of Biological Stage of a waste water
Treatment Plant with Upstream Denitrification

Entry ID: 109748869, V3.0, 10/2021 45
3.2.5 Control Strategy of the Water Unit Templates
The control strategy in the water industry is usually based on multi-user control,
which allows access to a maximum of eight different locations (e.g. OS servers or
panels). The control strategy has four different levels of control rights, which are
also defined by prioritization. This definition of the control strategy is implemented
uniformly by the templates.

automation system
• Operation with local HW
switches, directly connected to
the electrotechnical devices
onsite, and/or in the control
cabinet. In normal operation
with communication to the DCS,
only signal tracking takes place.
In the event of a complete
failure of the control and/or
automation system, local
operation and monitoring are
ensured at all times in
emergency mode.

Entry ID: 109748869, V3.0, 10/2021 46
The local hardware interconnection of functions has priority over local software
interconnection if local operation takes place via both paths at the same time. The
following figure illustrates the operation via local software and hardware switches.
Both variants can be operated via direct interconnection and an automation
system.

4 Guidelines for Planning and Configuring

There are binding requirements for the implementation of automation projects in
the water industry. These are listed in the IEC 62424 and ATV M260 directives
(only for waste water management). To a certain extent, the requirements
mentioned here apply as a general rule to a standardization and especially to the
application of the Siemens Water Templates.
4.1 Engineering
The standardization of the automation solution is based on the general
requirements for engineering to ensure a uniform procedure when creating a
solution and/or applying the PCS 7 templates.
PCS 7 compendia
Create your own PCS 7-compliant and upgradable solutions according to the
following PCS 7 recommendations:
• PCS 7 Compendium Part A - Configuration Guidelines
• PCS 7 Compendium Part B - Process Safety
• PCS 7 Compendium Part C - Technical Functions with SFC Types
• PCS 7 Compendium Part D - Operation and Maintenance
• PCS 7 Compendium Part E - Hardware Configuration
• PCS 7 Compendium Part F - Industrial Security

You can find an overview of the PCS 7 compendia at the following link:
PCS 7 Libraries
To implement and create your own solutions, use the following PCS 7 libraries:
• PCS 7 Advanced Process Library (APL)
• SIMATIC PCS 7 Industry Library (IL)
• SITRAINS Library for PCS 7 (SL)
• PCS 7 Advanced Process Graphics (APG)
• PCS 7 Condition Monitoring Library
• PCS 7 SITOP Library
• PCS 7 PowerControl
• PCS 7 TeleControl

Entry ID: 109748869, V3.0, 10/2021 48
Note If you intend on using the Industry Library and the SITRANS Library in your
configuration environment or in process mode, you are obliged to buy the
engineering and runtime licenses.
Standardized engineering
By using the water templates (WEMT/ WCMT) resolutely, you achieve consistent
standardization of your unit or entire plant. This forms the basis for future
migrations.
Alarm limits and messages

For all analog measurements in your own solution, use the templates
WCMT_MonAnalog08 and WCMT_S/MonAnalog08. The following table gives you
the definitions of the alarm messages:
Limit P&ID diagram Description

L1 AHH Alarm High-High
L2 AH Alarm High
L3 WH (SHH) Warning High; can also be used as SHH, Switch
High-High
L4 SH Switch High
L5 SL Switch Low
L6 WL (SLL) Warning Low; can also be used as SLL, Switch

Low-Low
L7 AL Alarm Low
L8 ALL Alarm Low-Low
Archiving and reporting

For long-term archiving and reporting according to ATV-DVWK-M260, it is
recommended to use the following solutions that create conformant archiving:
• PM-ANALYZE
• Power Control
• Energy Manager Pro
Creating CFCs
For a uniform program structure and standardization of the software when creating
your own CFCs use the standard functions and function blocks of the PCS 7
Advanced Process Library, Industry Library and SITRANS Library.
SI unit
Assign the corresponding physical units (SI units) for your measured values. The
APL supports you with a large variety of SI units, which are configured in the
display module and channel blocks during the engineering phase.
Note From PCS 7 V9.0, you can apply up to 199 customized units.

Entry ID: 109748869, V3.0, 10/2021 49
Multiproject / Multiuser engineering

SIMATIC PCS 7 helps you configure automation projects effectively. In multiproject
engineering, full automation tasks are generally divided into several PCS 7
projects. Each of these is then processed separately on distributed Engineering
stations by one project engineer and subsequently synchronized with the Central
Engineering Server.
On the other hand, in the case of multiuser engineering, several users work on the
same project via network.
In the following application example, the engineering procedures are described in a
practical way and in some cases with step-by-step instructions:
Creating new functions/function blocks

When creating your own functions (FC) and function blocks (FB), observe the
following prerequisites:
• Implementation with SIMATIC SCL
• It is not permitted to use S7 timers, S7 counters and S7 flags
• Tags are handled within the instance-specific data block (DB)
• Function blocks run in each runtime OB
• The block must fulfill the following functions
– Restart (set/reset parameters to the default values depending on their

function)
– New instance of the block (to facilitate the on-line instantiation of the block)
– Changing the sampling rate

Entry ID: 109748869, V3.0, 10/2021 50
4.2 Naming Convention

The naming conventions with your own classification make your project easier to
read. The naming convention applies to the ATV-DVWK-M260 guideline and was
applied in the Water Templates.
Note Standardization also means that all measurement points in your projects must
have resolute and consistent labeling according to the industry-specific naming
convention.
Naming convention of the Water Templates

The WCMT and WEMT Water Templates have uniform names and term definitions
for quick assignment of tasks and functions. They are made up of the following
three criteria:
1. Template type (WCMT, WEMT)
2. Template function (Name = technology block name from the APL, IL or
SITRANS Library)
3. Signal connection (without text /_Fb /_FbMMS /_FbDrv)
Example: WCMT_MonAnalog_Fb
For further information about the naming convention of the templates, see:
Standard PCS 7 and S7 Water Templates for the water industry
Note The naming convention of the Water Templates concerns the naming of the
template. The labeling of the measurement point follows the general naming
convention.
General naming convention of the measurement points

For the names of the individual measurement points, use the following convention:
XXN_XXXX_XX
Process action
Measuring principle
Element
• The label of the process action must be abbreviated by two characters in
accordance with the ATV260 guideline. You can find further relevant
information in the list below. The "N" character is optional, in case several
actions of the same name are present. The abbreviations for the process
actions are shown in the table below.
• Measuring principle, such as FQIR, LIS
• Element: two characters with leading zero

4.3 P&ID diagram

A P&ID diagram maps the modes of action of the individual process variables and
components in a plant or unit. This representation helps when configuring the
automation system and when creating OS user interfaces.
In the following section, you will find examples for P&ID diagrams of various motor
and valve versions as a simplified representation.

4.4 Process Control and Operation

A clearly structured and unified interface is required for effective and safe process
management. The P&ID diagram forms the basis for the division and arrangement
of the user interface of the respective unit. The ATV-DVWK M260 guideline must
be applied for the design of PCS 7 and WinCC process pictures.
You can run the process management for the entire plant either with
• the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system operator station or with
• the visualization solution such as WinCC or WinCC Professional (TIA Portal) in
the SCADA environment.
You can also
• split the process pictures of the units between various OS clients and
• also create local visualization by means of panels with restricted user rights for
each unit.
Note You can find water-specific sample projects of units (Water Unit Templates),
which include both the automation program and the process pictures for
SIMATIC PCS 7 and TIA Portal (Panel Project).

5 Industrial Security – "Defense in Depth"

In the production and automation environment, it is primarily the availability of the
plant that is important. The protection of information or data comes second.
"Industrial security" must not be reduced to information security in the automation
environment. The information transmitted controls and monitors physical and/or
chemical processes directly and deterministically. For this reason, when
considering possible IT-related damage in the production environment, the actual
information is comparatively unimportant (exception): trade secrets such as
formulas). What matters is the possible (and intended) direct effect of information
on process control and monitoring through the use of automation technology. If this
flow of information is disrupted, a whole series of consequences can be expected:
• Limited process availability, up to the loss of process control
• Immediately faulty controls
• Plant standstills, production downtimes, loss of quality and product
contamination
• Danger for man, the environment and the plant
• Breaches of statutory or official regulations
• Criminal or civil proceedings
• Damage to the company's public image
A modern security concept is therefore needed to prevent these consequences.

The "Defense-in-Depth" concept described in the IEC 62443 standard is a good

choice here. An example of how this approach can be successfully implemented
can be found in Figure 5-1.

Entry ID: 109748869, V3.0, 10/2021 63
Figure 5-1 Industrial Security W&WW

Note Further information on the topic "Cybersecurity – Defense-in-Depth concept for

the water and waste water industry" can be found here:
Note Siemens offers reference architectures (blueprints) that are specifically tailored
to the requirements of the water, waste water, and desalination industry. These
blueprints and the corresponding documentation for the secure configuration of
the control system and communication have been certified by TÜV-Süd for
PCS 7 in accordance with IEC 62443-3-3/2-4. This is based on the security
functions of the Simatic PCS 7 process control system, which is certified in
accordance with IEC 62443-3-3.

The reference architectures for WinCC OA, WinCC V7, WinCC RT Prof meet the
requirements of IEC 62443-4-1 / 3-3.

Entry ID: 109748869, V3.0, 10/2021 64
5.1.1 Concept of Deep Defense – "Defense in Depth"
The concept of deep defense (Defense-in-Depth) is a security strategy in which

several layers of defense are placed around the system to be defended, in this
case the automation system ("Peel the onion"). The implementation of deep
defense requires a combination of different security measures. These include:
Figure 5-2 "Defense-in-Depth" strategy

Note More information on the topic of industrial security can be found in the SIMATIC
PCS 7 Compendium Part F - Industrial Security manual:
Plant security
• Physical security measures:
Control of physical access to given areas, buildings, rooms, cabinets, devices,
operating equipment, cables and wiring). The physical security measures must
be aligned with the security cells and the responsible persons. It is important to
implement physical protection on remote single-user systems as well.
• Organizational security measures:
Security guidelines, security concepts, security regulations, security checks,
risk analyses, assessments and audits, awareness measures and training.

Entry ID: 109748869, V3.0, 10/2021 65
Network security
• Division into security cells
A highly secure network architecture subdivides the control network into
various task levels. Perimeter zone techniques should be used for this
purpose. This means that the systems installed in the perimeter network (DMZ)
are shielded from other networks (e.g., internet, office network) by one or more
firewalls (front and back or threehomed firewall). This separation allows access
to data in the perimeter network without having to simultaneously allow access
to the internal network to be protected (e.g. automation network). This
significantly minimizes the risk of access violations.
• Securing access points to security cells
A single access point to each security cell (to be implemented by means of a
firewall) for authenticating users and the applications and devices used, for
direction-based access control, for assigning access authorizations, and for
detecting attempted break-ins. The single access point is the main access
point to the network of a security cell and serves as the first point of control of
access rights at the network level.
• Securing the communication between two security cells via an "insecure"
network
Certificate-based, authenticated and encrypted communication is to be used
whenever perimeter zone technology involves communication via access
points. This can be done using tunnel protocols such as PPTP (Point to Point
Tunneling Protocol), L2TP (Layer Two Tunneling Protocol) or IPSec
(IPSecurity). Communication is also possible via protocols that are secured by
server-based certificates, such as RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) or a

website published via HTTPS. Communication via the firewall takes place
using TLS (Transport Layer Security) or SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
technology.
System integrity
• System hardening
System settings on a system to make that system more resistant to
• attacks by malicious software.
• User management and role-based user authorizations
Role-based access control
• Patch management
Patch management is the standard procedure for installing updates on plant
computers.
• Malware detection & prevention
Use of suitable and correctly configured virus scanners

Entry ID: 109748869, V3.0, 10/2021 66
5.1.2 Network Security – Automation and Security Cells
The strategy of dividing plants and associated plants into safety cells increases the
availability of an overall system. Individual failures or safety threats that cause
failures can thus be limited to their immediate sphere of influence. When planning
the security cells, the plant is first divided into automation cells (process cells) and
then into security cells by security measures.
Note Criteria for dividing a plant into automation and safety cells can be found in the
document "Safety concept PCS 7 & WinCC (Basis)":
More information on industrial security can be found in the SIMATIC process
control system PCS 7 Compendium Part F - Industrial Security (V9.0):
The following sample configuration is used for the division into security cells:
Figure 5-3 Sample configuration

The sample configuration consists of two independent subsystems with a common

operating and monitoring level. Thus, a safety cell can be formed for subsystem A
with the S7 controllers and OS servers assigned to subsystem A in each case. A
separate safety cell is formed for subsystem B and the controls and OS servers
assigned to this subsystem.
The division of the entire system into a safety cell for subsystem A and for
subsystem B also requires the separation of the system bus and terminal bus. The
OS clients, on which operation and monitoring of the entire process (subsystems A

Entry ID: 109748869, V3.0, 10/2021 67
and B) should be possible, are assigned to the safety cell of subsystem A.

Communication between the safety cells of subsystems A and B must therefore be
ensured.
The web server, which is used for operation and monitoring from the corporate
network or the internet, is placed in a separate security cell (perimeter). Virus scan
servers and WSUS update servers are also placed in this security cell. For a data
exchange (project data / project backup) between the security cells, a quarantine
PC is implemented in the perimeter security cell.
The components of the production planning connection (SIMATIC IT) are in turn
combined in a separate safety cell (MON/MES). This results in a total of four
different safety cells (DCS1, DCS2, MON and perimeter) for the sample
configuration, which are shown in the following figure:
Figure 5-4

6.2.1 Simulation of Automation
Hardware or software in the loop?

To test the project engineering and the automation program and to perform the
validation, the two configuration options "Hardware in the Loop" (HiL) and
"Software in the Loop" (SiL) are used.
Figure 6-4 Hardware in the Loop (HiL)
Figure 6-5 Software in the Loop (SiL)

The two configuration options differ as follows:

• Use of a real automation system (HiL: “Hardware in the loop”)
– In this application, the automation program to be tested runs in a real
automation system, but without any real process I/O. Instead, it is coupled
to SIMIT or a software tool using a SIMIT Unit (SU).
– The SIMIT UNIT simulates device communication with the field devices for
PROFIBUS or PROFINET.

Entry ID: 109748869, V3.0, 10/2021 71
6 Digitalization
• Use of a virtual automation system.

(SiL: “Software in the loop”)
– When SIMIT Simulation Framework is coupled to the SIMIT Virtual
Controller or the S7-PLCSIM emulation software, the automation function
can be tested in advance in the engineering office without the physical
hardware – from the sensor through the automation system and back down
to the actuator.
– The user program is loaded in the automation system emulated by the
SIMIT Virtual Controller or S7-PLCSIM in SIMATIC Manager without
modifications and started. It receives the simulated I/O signals from the
SIMIT Simulation Framework via the coupling of the emulated automation
system.

6.2.2 SIMIT VC – The Virtual Controller for Simulation of Automation

Systems
The Virtual Controller simulates the behavior of a SIMATIC controller of type

S7-300 or S7-400. The Virtual Controller is loaded with the original PLC user
program. The field device level and its connection over distributed bus systems are
ignored. Instead, process simulation is connected directly over the process image
input and output.
Figure 6-8 Integration of SIMIT Virtual Controllers
You can use up to 32 Virtual Controllers in the simulation project, and can
distribute them across multiple PCs. Virtual Controllers can communicate with each
other; connections to external partners and the operator control and monitoring
system are also possible. Only IP-based connections in IP address range IPv4 are
supported, however.
The above figure shows which automation level components are simulated as
Virtual Controllers:
1. PC with SIMIT SF (Simulation Framework) installed
– Manages the SIMIT project
– Starts/stops simulation
– Simulates the field and process level
– Can also include a Virtual Controller
2. PC with installed SIMIT VC (Virtual Controller)
– Hosts 1 to 8 Virtual Controllers
– Must be accessible in the network from the SIMIT PC
– Must be accessible from the OS server
3. PCs with PCS 7 installed (ES, OS server and client)

6.4.2 SIWA Applications for Water Management
The applications and digital services of the Siemens Industry Suite for water
management provide more transparency and thereby help to identify optimization
and savings potential for greater supply security. Siemens Water (SIWA)
applications, developed specifically for the water and waste water industry, enable
operators to optimize energy efficiency, prevent water loss, reduce water pollution,
and take preventive maintenance measures.
The SIWA applications are modular Cloud-based applications that cover the entire
water cycle. The following descriptions provide an overview of the various
applications and their added value.
Note You can find more information on the SIWA applications under:
https://new.siemens.com/global/en/branchen/wasser/digitalization.html
SIWA Optim
SIWA Optim is the key to a water supply that is as energy-efficient as it is reliable.
This Cloud-based application enables you to optimally use and automate all
relevant assets.
Figure 6-13
You optimize pump and valve schedules based on the latest plant data and
demand forecasts as well as daily updated energy prices. This enables you to
reduce energy costs by up to 15% while safeguarding the supply at the same time.
During maintenance work, you can see with which tanks and pumps, as well as
with which utilization, the security of supply is ensured. The application provides
efficient decision support with regard to the time, type, and scope of maintenance.

Entry ID: 109748869, V3.0, 10/2021 81
6 Digitalization
The application can be used to search for operating alternatives in a short time in
order to maintain the security of supply. Supply zones can be easily connected with
each other, for example.
SIWA Optim allows you to simulate different scenarios based on actual operating
data. For this reason, the application is ideal for creating case studies and is
suitable as an engineering tool for planners and pump manufacturers.
SIWA OptimDynamics
SIWA OptimDynamics uses hydraulic modeling of the pumping station to calculate
the most efficient way to transport the drinking water. This is done based on the
specific load curves and efficiency factors of the available pumps.
SIWA OptimDynamics also provides continuous information on current fill levels
and enables fast and targeted action in the event of deviations from the forecast
consumption.
Furthermore, SIWA OptimDynamics also monitors pump status through a special
algorithm that analyzes process data and derives trends and recommendations for
operation and maintenance.

SIWA Leak and SIWA LeakPlus

SIWA Leak is an application for detecting water losses in transport pipelines,

whereas SIWA LeakPlus detects water losses in water distribution networks.
Both applications follow the objective of reducing operating costs by reducing water
losses (non-revenue water). In special situations, a water leak can also cause
environmental and collateral damage (buildings, roads, etc.), and even flooding, if
the leak is not detected and repaired in time. SIWA Leak and SIWA LeakPlus are
able to detect smaller leaks at an early stage before they escalate.

SIWA Leak
With SIWA Leak, Siemens offers a system for detecting major as well as minor,
hard to detect leaks in water transport pipes. As a supplement to existing control
and automation systems, SIWA Leak continuously provides information on the

condition of the water transport pipeline.
SIWA Leak enables real-time monitoring of transport pipelines and provides the
operator with an overview of the current condition of the pipelines. All events are
displayed in a user-friendly way, both in a list and on a map. The operator receives
all the necessary information (environment, pipe characteristics, leak rate) to help
them decide the next steps to take and to prioritize tasks.
SIWA LeakPlus
SIWA LeakPlus combines real-time monitoring, Cloud computing, artificial
intelligence, and hydraulic simulations into an innovative all-in-one solution for
water distribution networks. The SIWA LeakPlus application for water distribution
networks is based on artificial intelligence and can be applied in networks (DMAs)
of all sizes with any pipe diameter and material. This allows data from different
sensors to be collected and analyzed to detect anomalies that indicate leaks.
Leaks can, therefore, be detected, localized, and repaired at an early stage.
SIWA Burst
SIWA Burst detects and locates burst pipes in water networks. By monitoring
pressure transients and using intelligent algorithms, SIWA Burst identifies the most
likely type of event (e.g., pipe burst, consumption, or valve operation) and is able to
perform real-time localization of a pipe burst with an accuracy of up to 20 meters.

Entry ID: 109748869, V3.0, 10/2021 83
6 Digitalization
Figure 6-15
The continuous high-frequency recording of pressure anomalies makes it possible

to detect harmful processes. This can enable measures to ensure smoother
operation and which can reduce pressure spikes, hydraulic shocks, and stresses in
the pipeline, preventing failure of pipeline elements.
SIWA Blockage Predictor

The SIWA Blockage Predictor is a Siemens MindSphere solution that determines
the behavior of combined sewer overflows in real time, enabling a better
understanding of the system's performance in all challenging situations. The
analytics embedded in a web application can be accessed remotely via mobile
devices or PCs and informs the user in advance of emerging issues.
Pump Guardian
The SIWA Pump Guardian is a secure IoT solution that prevents clogging and
provides full transparency of pump and pump station performance. The application
helps to detect and prevent clogged impellers, blocked pipelines, and blockages
due to one-time events

Entry ID: 109748869, V3.0, 10/2021 84
6 Digitalization
SIWA Sewer
SIWA Sewer provides dynamic online optimization of sewer operations to reduce
the overflow of untreated water into the environment. SIWA Sewer is an application
that enables operators of sewer networks and waste water treatment plants to
optimally use the storage/retention volumes, as well as to support and relieve the
operating personnel in both normal and emergency operation of their plants.
Figure 6-16
The application takes into account the actual levels in sewers, septic tanks, and
overflow basins, as well as the precipitation amounts of the current weather
forecasts. The optimization algorithm runs continuously (in 3-minute intervals) and
results in optimized pump and valve schedules, as well as optimized settings of all
relevant plant components. The schedules and optimized settings are transferred
to the customer's SCADA system via the OPC UA protocol.
SIWA Kanal can be used for the optimization of maintenance scenarios, as well as
for decision support for worst-case scenarios (heavy rain events, etc.).
