Focus issue:
The new class of devices combines strengths, eliminates weakness
New workflow: Saia® Function-PCDs
The Saia® Function PCD is a new class of control and
automation devices – PFC (Programmable Function
Controller) is derived from the PLC (Programmable
Logic Controller).
The Saia® Function PCD comes equipped with fac-
tory-standard application software. The hardware
platform is very powerful and leaves plenty of room
for enhancements and changes throughout the life
cycle of a plant.
During commissioning and service the Saia® Func-
tion PCD behaves similarly to a dedicated controller.
Thanks to the manageable core functionality, it is
easy and safe to handle. Moreover the Saia® func-
tion PCD is free programmable. Therefore, it is not
necessary to install a comprehensive application at
the point of delivery that covers every type of user
requirement, and that is hardly managable with
complex parameters and configuration tables.
The pre-installed core application can be extended
at any time using Saia® PG5 Controls Suite engineer-
ing software to include more functions. The pos-
sibility of changing and adapting the application
freely at any time is the reason for keeping the pre-
installed core application simple and manageable.
Requirements that were not foreseeable at initial in-
stallation and additional requests from the operator
can easily and safely be implemented at any time.
The first product that Saia-Burgess has produced in
this form w s the Saia® S-Energy Manager. Plans are
under way for the Saia® BACnet monitor and the En-
ergy Plus controller based on the Saia® PCD1.
Summary Saia® Function PCDs
Saia® Function PCDs are lean automation in its purest
form. The engineering time for a «Good Fit» and «Perfect
Fit» automation solution is much shorter in comparison
to equipment based on standard PLC technology. This
saves money and time. Many complex functions are al-
No risks,

ready installed and can be used straight away, so that
few qualified personnel resources are needed. Adapta-
tions and extensions are possible over the entire life cy-
cle, meaning that «Good Fit» and «Perfect Fit» are easily
achievable. This significantly reduces long-term operat-
ing costs and increases user and operator satisfaction.
