Trending Capabilities: SIMATIC PCS 7 Advanced Process Library (APL)

Visualizing measurement trends is an important feature of any control system, helping to keep the operator aware of the current process status and informed about past issues. PCS 7 features a built-in trending system that makes it easy for operators to create new trends simply by clicking on the desired process graphic icons, or to recall a favorite trend on-demand. These are standard benefits when using the Advanced Process Library (APL) and the newer versions of PCS 7.
