Background information:
Simatic TDC is a multiprocessor automation system for large plants in process engineering, power generation and drives. It solves complex drive, closed-loop control and technology tasks with very large quantity structures and short cycle times from 100 microseconds. The system is modular in design with scalable hardware and up to 20 CPUs per mounting rack. The primary application areas are in metal production and metalworking, high-voltage DC transmission systems, and reactive power compensation systems for stabilizing power transmission. However, the system is also suitable for atypical applications such as the automation of large platform systems.
