- Siemens unveils V10 of its Simit simulation software at the Achema 2018
- Flexible integration of additional functions and improved scalability
- New license and dongle concept for improved scaling
Siemens will be presenting the latest release of its Simit simulation software, part of the Digital Enterprise portfolio for the process industries, for the first time at the Achema 2018. Version 10 of the software enables the flexible addition of functionalities such as new libraries, the Component Type Editor and Virtual Controllers. Used in combination with the new license structure, V10 offers improved software scalability tailored to any individual project size. This makes the use of simulation affordable right from the initial stage, as the pricing structure in place from Version 10 onwards takes into account the size of the simulated project. Another new feature is the dongle concept, which enables the number of dongles required to be significantly reduced in future depending on the specific application. Alongside this fundamentally new licensing concept, Simit V10 users also benefit from a number of functional upgrades. These include support for the S7 Redundancy Protocol in the Virtual Controller for the Simatic S7-400 as well as new components within the ChemBasic library for process simulation. Also featured at the Achema will be a number of exhibits demonstrating the wide-ranging possibilities of Simit, including an application for virtual commissioning, automatic model generation with the aid of planning data from COMOS and an operator training system.
- Simit Unit Administration integrated into the Simit user interface
- Simplified configuration of PLCSIM advanced coupling
- Bulk engineering using Chem Basic Library spreadsheet calculation – for chemical and pharmaceutical plant simulation
- Data transmission now also via OPC UA client coupling
Siemens has upgraded its Simit simulation platform for virtual commissioning and operator training with a new release. Version 9.1 enables Simit to also be used for virtual commissioning and operator training in modular plants, speeding up actual commissioning by as much as 60 percent and reducing unwanted standstill periods to a minimum, particularly during plant conversion and migration processes. Simit can also be used to implement a realistic operator training system. Version 9.1 comes with an array of innovations designed to improve operating convenience, support simulation modeling and contribute towards improved efficiency, openness and flexibility.
- This new technology has been used in one of the biggest desalination plants in the Middle East to analyze, optimize and improve productivity, reducing operating times and finding faults early
- Simit software can be used to simulate field equipment and even the process of an entire plant, in real time.
- The Digital Twin enables virtual commissioning of the plant and remote training for operators.
Siemens has been collaborating with Acciona to create a Digital Twin to improve treatment plant management in one of the biggest desalination plants in the Middle East. This new technology is used to analyze, optimize and improve productivity, reducing operating times and finding faults early.

With Sinamics DriveSim Basic, Siemens presents a new software solution with which for the first-time drive constellations and their behavior in machines and plants can be simulated, adapted, and optimized. With the new solution, Siemens offers a quick and easy entry into the simulation of drive technology and enables machine and plant manufacturers to accelerate their own development phase.
- New NCU 1740 for higher scalability of Sinumerik One
- Sinumerik Run MyRobot /Direct Control V2.0 and Run MyRobot /Direct Handling V2.0 available for Sinumerik One
- New functions for the Digital Twin in Create MyVirtual Machine and Run MyVirtual Machine
Siemens is expanding its offering for the "Digital Native" CNC Sinumerik One. Two years after its market launch, the technology company is presenting numerous innovations in hardware and software for the Sinumerik One at EMO Milano and the virtual Siemens Machine Tool Days. In this context, Siemens is demonstrating how the powerful machine tool controller can be used in a highly productive, flexible, and modular way and in the best possible way for digital transformation. In terms of hardware, the new NCU 1740 complements the existing NCU 1750 and 1760 as well as the PPU 1740, thus expanding its use in modular machines.
- Strategic collaboration of Siemens and PSE extends integrated digitalization portfolio for process industries
- Close linkage of Comos, Simatic PCS 7 and Simit with PSE's gPROMS Advanced Process Modelling technology
- Integrated use of Advanced Process Modelling along plant lifecycle
- Model-based solutions are essential complements of the Siemens portfolio
Siemens AG and Process Systems Enterprise (PSE), the Advanced Process Modelling (APM) company, today announced at Achema that they have signed a long-term collaboration agreement to bring the power of PSE's gPROMS APM technology to Siemens automation and digitalization offerings for the process industries. Under the agreement, the companies are bringing to market a new set of solutions for long-term equipment and health monitoring, soft-sensing, prediction of future process performance, real-time optimisation, and operator training incorporating high-fidelity models. The solutions are all based on the combination of process models that embody deep process knowledge with real-time as well as historical plant data.
On the first day of the Hannover Messe, April 1, Klaus Helmrich welcomed you to the annual Siemens Press Conference. As member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG, Klaus Helmrich is responsible for the Digital Industries Operating Company. The Press Conference took place at 6:30 PM in the Trade Fair's Convention Center, Room 1 A/B.Mr. Helmrich talked about the latest developments of digitalization and the next step towards the digital transformation in the manufacturing and process industries under the theme "Digital Enterprise – Thinking industry further!".
- Simatic PCS 7 Plant Automation Accelerator V3.0 plant and automation engineering software closes the gap between plant engineering and the process control system
- More powerful, more open version
- Increased system openness based on GSDML and NE150 standards
- Seamless engineering through the integration of various Simatic components
Siemens has extended its engineering software for planners and automation engineers, Simatic PCS 7 Plant Automation Accelerator 3.0 (PAA), to include new functions for even more flexible and integrated automation engineering. With this latest software version, Simatic PCS 7 automation projects can be configured even more easily and efficiently. With Version 3, the PAA software closes the gap between plant engineering and the process control system. The entire plant structure including measuring point data can be generated easily and synchronized between the systems. Automation engineers are supported in all phases from tender preparation (such as bills of material), automatically generated process control data from electrical engineering in the Siemens Simatic PCS 7 process control system (including controlled mass data engineering), to as-is documentation of the process automation.
