Automation Systems

The entire power supply for industrial projects – from high, medium and low voltage levels (SPREPOWER) to secondary technology (SPRECON automation and SPRECON grid protection) – can clearly be found in our portfolio. All stages of a power supply project are realised, from project planning to complete solutions.

But also in process automation you can rely on our products and solutions from the control level down to the process level.

Sprecher control centers range from stand-alone systems to redundant and distributed client-server solutions with connection to the existing IT system (i.e. ERP)

Components of process control systems are operating and monitoring systems, indication and registration systems as well as alarming and production data acquisition systems.

With decades of industrial project experience, Sprecher Automation provides customer-oriented and optimised automation solutions clearly structured and focused user interfaces (GUI) by taking into account different possible approaches.

Sprecher process control systems are based on either Windows® or LINUX®.

Process Control Systems

Sprecher Automation applies the following process control systems:

  • SPRECON®-V (Sprecher Automation)
  • WinCC® (Flexible), WinCC® Open Architecture (former PVSS II)
  • RSView®
  • InTouch®
  • SIMATIC® PCS7

Modernisation (retrofit) of process control systems

Beside other features, modern control systems provide comprehensive functionalities and comfortable engineering and maintenance tools in consideration of ergonomic aspects.

The integrated operator control and monitoring systems (HMI) of former installed process control technology do not meet these demands anymore.

Whereas I/O hardware in process environment is still acceptable and also available at the market, hardware and software modules have a short life cycle.

Consequently, modernisations of the process control levels can mostly be achieved by replacement of the complete process control system only. Usually, this also involves the replacement of the I/O hardware in process environment which may still be sound.

The highly developed process control systems of Sprecher Automation allow the replacement of older process visualisation systems by maintaining the existing control hardware.

Sprecher Automation develops, applies and delivers all required process-related control systems for various branches as central or distributed solutions – from machine control to highly available and sound process control solutions, based on:

  •     SPRECON® (Sprecher Automation)
  •     SIMATIC® S5/S7
  •     Allen Bradley® SLC-500, PLC-5, ControlLogix®, MicroLogix®
  •     B&R® control systems
