Totally Integrated Automation
The quantum leap
in automation

Totally Integrated Automation®

(TIA) stands for a complete
spectrum of automation
components that offer the
highest degree of integration
possible and consistency on
three counts.
• A consistent software tool set
supports all phases of a
project, from selection of the
hardware through
programming and operation
to diagnostics and
maintenance.
• All tools access a common
database.
• This reduces input and
ensures project-wide
consistency.
Consistent communication
plays a decisive role. Industrial
Ethernet and PROFIBUS are
configured identically. This
saves time and costs normally
spent on training, enables
configuration regardless of the
network chosen, and allows a
change of communication links
without it being necessary to
make changes to the user
program.
Changes to the network
topology can be incorporated
through changes to a few
parameters and the data is
transmitted over the new
network. It really couldn’t be
any faster or easier.
AS-Interface and EIB are
integrated in this consistent
communication through links.

The centrally significant

modules in the system are the
communications networks:
Industrial Ethernet
(IEEE 802-3 and 802.3u) –
the international standard for
area and cell networking.
PROFIBUS
(IEC 61158/EN 50170) –
the international standard for
cell and field area.
AS-Interface
(EN 50295) –
the international standard for
communication with sensors
and actuators.
EIB
(EN 50090, ANSI EIA 776) –
the globally standardized
building installation system and
the basis for building
automation.

 Introduction
Totally Integrated Automation
The quantum leap
in automation

Data communication handles

the exchange of data between
automation devices or between
an automation device and
intelligent partners (PCs,
computers etc.).
ITlution®
On the basis of Industrial
Ethernet, ISDN or GSM, the
term ITIution refers to the
provision of industry standard
products with IT technologies
that support the realization of
simple and safe solutions for
local, wired or wireless, and
global corporate networks.
TCP/IP forms the basis for safe
and global data communi-
cations for stationary
(e.g. CP UU3-1 IT) and mobile
(e.g. MOBIL) stations.
Communication over
networks
Connection can be made
through integrated interfaces
on the automation system
(CPU) or through communi-
cation processors (CPs).
Transmission of the data is
event-controlled by calling a
communications module.
For the purpose of data com-
munication, SIMATIC S7 offers
a multi-point interface (MPI),
PROFIBUS and Industrial
Ethernet.
Multi-point interface
The multi-point interface (MPI)
is an interface integrated on
the SIMATIC automation
systems S7/C7 and on SIMATIC
PCs, PGs and OPs/PPs/TDs.
These allow the set up of
smaller communication net-
works

Process and field communica-

tion is designed to connect
actuators/sensors to a PLC.
Connection can be made
through integrated interfaces
on the CPU or through interface
modules (IMs, CPs).
The exchange of process
signals at the actuators/sensors
can be executed cyclically
through the process image or
individually by control com-
mand. For process or field com-
munication, SIMATIC offers
PROFIBUS DP, AS-Interface
and EIB, which forms the
bridge between production
automation and building
system automation.

All about Industrial Ethernet

Industrial Ethernet offers a

powerful cell network
according to standard IEEE
802.3 (Ethernet).
Ethernet technology, which has
been successful for many
years, can be used in
conjunction with switching,
full duplex and autosensing
allowing the customer to select
the performance required for
the network. Data transmission
rates can also be chosen to
suit requirements, as consistent
compatibility facilitates the
step-by-step integration of new
technology.
In addition, Ethernet is the
technology on which the
Internet is based and offers a
whole range of flexible options
for worldwide networking.
In connection with Industrial
Ethernet, SIMATIC NET offers
a medium that can be
seamlessly integrated in the
new media landscape. The
numerous options presented
by Intranet, Ethernet and
Internet, already available in
today’s office environment, can
also be utilized in production

Because customer require-
ments vary, Industrial Ethernet
for cell networks and area
networks is also available in
different versions:
• FC Twisted Pair
The FC twisted pair cabling
system is ideal for structured
factory hall cabling.
The FastConnect (FC) system
allows the structured cabling
of the office environment to
be adapted for industrial use,
thus presenting the RJ45
cabling method, already a
standard, in an industry-
standard version.
FastConnect cables also
allow quick and easy on-site
assembly.
• ITP (Sub-D connection
method)
The ITP standard cable is
pre-assembled with Sub-D
connectors as a rugged
connection method for direct
connection of stations and
network components. Cable

as a transmission medium
which are completely
insensitive to electromagnetic
interference. Furthermore,
these cables don’t need any
isolation.
The different types of trans-
mission media can be used in
a wide range of combinations.
Wireless LAN
Wireless LAN (WLAN) is a local
wireless network working in the
2.4 GHz frequency range.
WLAN products are based on
the IEEE.802.11b standard,
with data rates from 1 Mbit/s to
11 Mbit/s. The wireless network
is linked through WLAN access
points to a local Ethernet
network.

large installed base that can
be used in a wide range of
applications. The IEC 61158/
EN 50170 standard ensures
that existing investments are
future-proof. PROFIBUS defines

PROFIBUS DP is charac-
terized by
- minimum response times
- high resistance to inter-
ference
and replaces costly parallel
signal transmission at 24 V
and measured value transfer
at 4 (0) to 20 mA.

All about AS-Interface

Valves, actuators, drives – a lot

of different components work

Cutting costs
AS-Interface replaces
complicated cable harnesses
and connects binary actuators
and sensors, such as proximity
switches, valves or indicator
lights to a PLC, for example
SIMATIC.
In practice this means:
Installation is easy because
data and power can be
transported over one common
cable.
Thanks to a specially
developed cable and the
insulation displacement
connection method, the AS-
Interface cable can be tapped
at any point. This concept gives
you enormous flexibility and
considerably reduces costs.
No special knowledge is
needed for installation and
startup. Furthermore, the
simple installation, the clear
cable structure and the special
shape of the cable not only
greatly reduce the risk of faults,
but also reduce service and
maintenance expenditure.
Safety at Work
The “safety at work” concept
supports direct integration of
fail-safe components, such
as emergency stop switches
or safety light screens, on an
AS-Interface network.
These are fully compatible with
the well known AS-Interface
components (master, slaves,
power supply units, repeaters
etc.) according to EN 50 295
and are operated together on

All about EIB

More rigorous demands on

flexibility and ease-of-use of
electrical installation in con-
junction with a desire to mini-
mize energy consumption have
led to the development of
building installation systems.
The bus technology used in
these systems is based on a
common European concept,
the European Installation Bus
(EIB). Numerous manufacturers
have now united in the
European Installation BUS
Association (EIBA).
The corporate members of the
EIBA ensure that products are
available that are compatible
with the bus. This allows
devices from different manu-
facturers to be operated in the
same EIB installation.

that the energy supply can be
directly routed to the electrical

 Introduction
SIMOTION for complicated movements

A genuine innovation
SIMOTION is the new motion
control system from Siemens,
developed specially for
machines in which there's a
great deal on the move. What
makes the SIMOTION concept
innovative is the combination
of motion control, logic and
other technology functions in a
single unit. You thus have all
control functions for machine
automation in one system and
can perform all tasks with a
single engineering solution.
SIMOTION provides a variety
of hardware platforms, e.g.
controller-based and PC-based
platforms. Simply choose the
hardware that best suits your
machine. And combine it with
our service-proven
MASTERDRIVE® and
SIMODRIVE® drives.

Flexible communication
With two clocked PROFIBUS SIMOTION P
connections and one Ethernet SIMOTION C
interface the C230-2 offers
plenty of scope for communi-
cation:
It's possible, for example, to SIMATIC HMI
connect drives and I/O devices
to PROFIBUS in a distributed
arrangement.
You can use either PROFIBUS
or Ethernet for communication
with operator panels such as
SIMATIC HMI or higher-level MASTERDRIVES ET 200S
control systems such as SIMODRIVE
SIMATIC S7. SIMATIC HMI
panels as well as PCs with
ProTool/Pro or OPC interface
are available as operator
systems.
Scalable functionality
The purpose of SIMOTION is
to solve complex motion tasks
simply and consistently in
the most diverse machines.
This is only possible if the
system displays scalable,
flexible functionality that can
be expanded at any time. A user program can then draw The function libraries offer The basic functionality

Totally Integrated Automation

Totally Integrated Automation

offers three-fold consistency in
configuration/programming,
data management and commu-
nication.

Savings that add up.

Everything you need for
modern automation – you'll find
it in the modular TIA system.
Each individual device or
system offers highest quality
and performance – and would
be a worthwhile investment
even without membership in
the TIA club.
One-stop shopping at its best
– a single distributor, a single
order address – and even the
support is first hand.
TIA offers significant allround
savings – on training, and
induction courses, on planning
and programming, com-
missioning and service as well
as maintenance and spare
parts management, the list
goes on ….
Open for the office world,
fit for the Internet. The future
has become reality.
TIA ensures consistent
communication, from control
