What changes with S-Web?
Management level
Field level
Automation level
The on-site technology is mainly determined by the planning and tender specification processes. In single incremental develop-
ments, it is enough to continue maintaining existing planning and design specification standards. However, if the technological
development results in large structural changes, the planning process also requires significant changes that can then affect the
resulting tender specification. This chapter is a guide for planners who want to further develop their tender specification stand-
ard in this sense.

Functional structure of “old” automation
pyramids
Core functions of the automation are distrib-
uted to various levels and different devices
Proprietary bus diversity, gateways and
expensive integration.
“Total integration” is propagated as an
“emergency” solution by large manufacturers.
Total integrated system pyramid
Everything from a single source.
Single operator. Opposite of lean.
Functional structure of “lean” automation
pyramids
All core functions of the automation
together in one unit is possible.
Interaction of all devices via Web+IT
standards.
Integration from field to control level
provided via LAN/WAN.

SBC S-Web is an innovative system comprising a combination of technical innovations and non-proprietary,
globally recognised technologies. It has therefore been steadily developing for more than 10 years.
SBC S-Web is causing a paradigm change in automation technology in terms of operation, monitoring and management.
It makes the boundaries of the classic automation pyramids transparent and integrated, both internally and externally.
Structure of lean automa-
tion systems
All the measuring, regulat-
ing and control devices of
this structure have the same
functional structure and
capabilities
= SPS +Web + IT
Each automation device can
be included in the client and
server relationship with any
other automation device and
other web/IT technology in
the property.
This makes it possible to
maximise use, reduce opera-
tional expenses and create
a highly flexible service life.
But how does this impact on
tender specifications?
Lean automation system: all core
functions of the automation
(PLC+Web+IT) integrated into that
automation device enable the
integration and interaction of all
devices from the field level to the
control level.
