"Automative Control Systems Design" explains the PCS 7 system functions and their use in applications in a comprehensive way. In a hands-on style, the book covers every major aspect of the system engineering including the programming tools (the Structured Control Language, Continuous Function Chart, and Sequential Function Chart) and the Human Machine interface (the SIMATIC WinCC(R)). It also unveils project data flow within the system and shows the relations of project activities, e.g. what happens if selecting an option, setting a parameter, and configuring an interface. The book makes use of the full latest features, for example, the master data library, process tag type, and sequential function chart type, in examples and exercises making it an essential reference that contains the fundamental of the Siemens SIMATIC systems and the engineering philosophy of the PCS 7 Version 6. The book is written for both beginners and experienced users. Many sections of the book start with helpful step-by-step instructions and go on to elaborate many aspects of the advanced system settings and functions. The book is useable for self-learning the PCS 7 system, unveiling ist funtions amd teaching the phiospohies of contro systems engineering.

Clearly explains the successful PCS 7 automation system architecture, functionality, and engineering philosophy Project engineers, systems integrators, and site engineers can master by themselves the skills required to use a modern control systems platform.
