What is the best way to view your Siemens Power plant automation logic diagrams in a secure, web-based environment that can be accessed from any computer connected to the internet?

SPPAviewSPPAview is a web-based service that presents SPPA-T2000 (TXP), Simadyn, and SPPA-T3000 Engineering data created on their respective Engineering Stations (ES). This data is extracted from the ES and loaded on the SPPAview server and converted to web-based information. It can then be accessed by multiple clients, allowing an authorized person with an internet connection to view the logic diagrams on a standard browser.




Systems covered:

SPPA-T2000 (TXP)SimadynSPPA-T3000




System Features

Microsoft Internet Explorer browser is used for presenting SPPA-T2000 (TXP), Simadyn, and SPPA-T3000 logic diagrams on remote clients - no additional installation is required on the client. Displayed diagrams have extensive navigation functionality, access to the elements’ (function blocks) properties and parameters, and printing functions. SPPAview further provides data overview functionality with hyperlink navigation and can be used as a source of enhanced SPPA-T2000 (TXP) / Simadyn / SPPA-T3000 documentation.




System Features

Complete viewing of control logic for SPPA-T2000 (TXP), Simadyn, and SPPA-T3000.

Logic diagram navigation capabilities superior to original systems.

Access to all logic block parameters is available. No access to engineering stations is required for logic viewing. No additional software installation is needed on the client. Seamless navigation between SPPA-T2000 (TXP) and Simadyn

control logic plans. Support for HMI display and navigation is fully integrated. HMI

pictures must be captured and loaded separately. Access to plant hardware configuration data. Support for multiple revisions of the project.




System Features

New projects can be loaded, and new code revisions of the same project can be easily updated from remote clients.

Access to control logic plans for multiple units. Ideal for fleet applications.

Control system version independent - supports all versions of SPPA-T2000 (TXP), Simadyn, and SPPA-T3000.

Extensive data mining tools - MS Excel export functionality. Revision comparison tools included for SPPA-T2000 (TXP),

Simadyn, and SPPA-T3000. Control logic versions from different dates can be compared and complete reports generated. These differences are summarized in a list format by diagram with hyperlinks to the diagrams where the changes are highlighted graphically.




System Features

Complete set of system manuals is easily accessible on the server with searching capabilities.

Hyperlinks from SPPA-T2000 (TXP) and SPPA-T3000 function blocks to standard system manuals (function block descriptions).

Off-line versions of the logic can be generated and downloaded to client. This version can then be viewed without access to the server.

Data available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The server provides desired data availability, access protection, and reliable hardware, together with regular data backup which further assures adequate data security.
