Siemens introduces CEMAT software for cement plants

西門子為水泥廠推出CEMAT軟件

ATLANTA, May 21, 2008 - Siemens Energy & Automation announced the U.S. introduction of CEMAT, a proven software technology for operating cement plants that offers easy-to-use diagnostics to reduce downtime. Based on more than 30 years of experience working with the world's leading cement producers, Siemens' preconfigured CEMAT software modules guide operators through the diagnostics functions and interlocks for drives, dampers, belt conveyors and measuring values.

亞特蘭大5月21日消息——西門子能源與自動化宣布在美國推出CEMAT軟件，一套可以為水泥廠提供易用診斷，減少停工期的、經過驗證的軟件。基于與世界上領先的水泥生產商從事30多年的經驗基礎上，西門子的預配置CEMAT軟件模塊通過診斷功能以及驅動、節氣閘、帶式運送及以及測量閥門的聯動，引導操作人員。

CEMAT improves operator productivity with interfaces that deliver precise diagnostic information prior to starting drives or groups of devices. The easy-to-use interfaces provide a consistent look and feel for all plant operations.

CEMAT的界面在開始啟動驅動或設備組之前，提供精確的診斷信息，提高經營者的生產力。這些易于使用的界面為所有工廠運作提供了一個一致的外觀和觸感。

"Cement plant producers can now focus on optimizing the process rather than designing the basics of the control system," said Moin Shaikh, Siemens cement industry marketing manager. "CEMAT is easy to operate, eliminates islands of automation and reduces programming errors."

西門子水泥工業部營銷經理Moin Shaikh表示：“水泥廠生產商現在可以把重點放在優化進程，而不是基本控制系統的設計上面。CEMAT容易操作，消除了自動化孤島，減少了編程錯誤。”

In addition to cutting engineering time, the pre-engineered CEMAT modules and interfaces help shorten time to market and project cycles while reducing costs and increasing plant output. New drive asset management capabilities are also available that include Siemens SIMOCODE intelligent drive devices, detailed fault indication and high performance plausibility logic.

此外，為節省工程時間，預配置CEMAT軟件模塊和界面在幫助縮短產品上市時間和項目周期的同時，可以降低成本，提高工廠產量。新的驅動資產管理能力也具有，包括西門子SIMOCODE智能驅動設備，詳細的故障指示和高性能的可信邏輯。

The scaleable CEMAT system offers all of the features of the latest version of SIMATICR PCS 7 distributed process control system. The open platform of the system enables cement producers to use the best process optimization packages to increase plant throughput and productivity.

可拓展的CEMAT系統提供了最新版本SIMATICR PCS 7 分布式過程控制系統的全部功能。該系統的開放式平臺使水泥生產商可以使用最佳的過程優化包來增加工廠的生產量和生產力。
