Efficient telecontrol solutions
Industrial process plants often extend over large areas – For extensive applications with sophisticated control tasks,
even sometimes crossing national borders. For reliable telecontrol solutions based on SINAUT ST7,
monitoring, operators require secured and cost-effective IEC 60870-5-101/104 or DNP3 telecontrol protocols are
access to their remote plants. Siemens offers tailor-made recommended. These systems support numerous network
and efficient telecontrol solutions for a wide variety of topologies and communication media and are therefore

Migration strategy
Investment in the future
Advantages
◾ Simple, step-by-step expansion of plant capacity
◾ Manageable risk
◾ Introduction of new technologies (e.g. HMI, Industrial
Ethernet, DSL, mobile wireless, etc.)
Scenario 3
Comprehensive modernization
Bottlenecks in the supply of spare parts, decreasing
support, or the need for functional extensions can also
force extensive modernization of an old plant with future-
oriented telecontrol systems together with SIMATIC con-
trol systems. Conversion is usually possible during normal
operation. The re-use of the existing I/O level (sensor
systems) is supported and the investment in installation,
hardware or application engineering is secured.
Advantages
◾ Increase in performance
◾ Introduction of new technologies (e.g. HMI, Industrial
Ethernet, DSL, mobile wireless, etc.)
◾ Extension of complete plant lifecycle and opening for
new applications or the IT world
◾ Elimination of bottlenecks and dependencies
