The outdated SCADA-System IMS-CCR provided by EUDIG AG has to be replaced. Siemens has offered modernization solutions since 2016, but due to repeated delays by the end-customer, the situation has become currently urgent. The requirements outlined in the initial concept from 2017 have significantly expanded compared to the first planning.

The replacement of field devices and control equipment within the existing brownfield infrastructure is anticipated to bring about standardization and streamlined maintenance for EBS. Furthermore, there is a need to establish contemporary security standards for critical infrastructure, with PCS 7 being certified under IEC62433.

The main solution scope provided by Siemens includes:  

• Control Level - DCS - IT infrastructure:  PCS 7 incl. virtualization with complex backup concept  
• Network technology across all plants incl. 60 external structures (pump & lifting stations)
• Automation Level: PCS7 process control technology - 24 PCS7 AS410  
• Field Level: 2000 I/O components
• Establishment of an information and security system (ISMS)
  
• Regulations according to BSI (Federal office for information technology and security) 
  

The scope of the service agreement includes:   

• Oncall service 24/7 for PCS 7 and S7 TIA  
• Predictive maintenance, e.g. analysis of log files, patch management, etc. based on PCS MyExpert  
• Spare parts provision
