Tender information
What is the difference 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
developments, 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 large changes which
can then affect the resulting tender specification. This chapter is a guide for planners who want to further develop their tender
specification standard in this sense.

Functional structure of “old” automation
pyramids
Automated system’s core function distributed
across various levels and different devices
Proprietary number of different buses, 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 automated system
possible in one device.
Interaction of all devices via Web+IT standards.
Integration from field to control layer
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
automation systems
All the measurement/control
devices of this structure have
the same functional structure
and capabilities
= PLC +Web + IT
Each automation device
can have relationships
in the client and the server
to every other automation
device and residual web/IT
technology in the property.
This makes it possible
to maximise use, reduce
operational expenses
and create a highly flexible
life-cycle.
But what does this mean for
the tender specifications?
X
Lean automation system: all core
functions of the automation
(PLC+Web+IT) integrated in that
automation device enable
the integration and interaction
of all devices from the field level
to the control level.
