Annual report 2009 - Siempelkamp

Furthermore, with our process computers we provide the central collection and visualization of all relevant process data of a power
plant. The process computer, the heart of the plant monitoring system, collects all process signals necessary for the operation of the
plant. Signals of different control units are linked and evaluated so that all required information about the different systems can be
presented to the plant operator online. The process computing system is primarily used for the visualization of the plant condition as
well as for the evaluation of measured values and messages. Computing systems in older power plants are especially prone to exhibit
a typical heterogeneous IT landscape of many independently working partial systems.
By integrating these partial systems into a new process computing system, the customer can save tremendous costs and previously
made investments can be used longer. The prerequisite is a process computing system which is designed as an open system and which
has many interfaces that are ready for use or easily adaptable. We plan and deliver process computing systems for the monitoring and
control of operations. Our systems are optimized to the location of use and can be used with the equipment of any manufacturer. They
reduce investment costs, ensure the spare parts supply and support customers in the optimum operation of their plants.
Large order for the replacement of a process computer
in 2009
The fi rst phase of the large project involving the replacement of
the process computer at the nuclear power plant Mühleberg in
Siempelkamp Nuclear technology
Switzerland was completed, as scheduled, in 2009. The computer
has started operation. During the second phase of the project,
two additional neighboring systems will be connected to the
process computer so that the order will be completed in 2010.
