SIQENCE V20 SP1: advanced batch process control integrated into WinCC Unified
Flexible, standardized ISA-88-based automation for industrial recipe and batch management
What is WinCC Unified SIQENCE V20 SP1?
WinCC Unified SIQENCE V20 SP1 is Siemens' solution for batch process automation and execution directly integrated into the WinCC Unified environment. It allows recipes, procedures and production batches to be managed in a standardized, flexible way, fully based on the S7-1500 PLC, without the need for additional software.
A solution designed for industries that require consistent traceability and quality, such as food and beverage, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and mixing, dosing or heating processes.
Batch automation based on the ISA-88 standard
One of the main differentiators of WinCC Unified SIQENCE is its native compliance with the ISA-88 standard, which guarantees a clear, scalable structure for batch processes.
- Physical model: process cell, unit, equipment module and control module.
- Procedural model: procedure, unit procedure, operation and phase.
«Thanks to TIA Portal's Technological Hierarchy, the ISA-88 model maps directly between the PLC and the visualization layer, reducing engineering errors and improving system maintainability.»
Flexible, standardized recipe management
WinCC Unified SIQENCE includes advanced tools for recipe management:
- Creating procedures via drag & drop of units and operations.
- Defining process parameters and setpoints that scale according to the quantity to be produced.
- Recipe status control ("In edit" / "Released for production").
- Reuse of procedures for different products.
«This enables flexible production, with fast recipe changes and full consistency between engineering, operations and quality.»
Real-time batch execution and monitoring
The solution offers complete management of the batch lifecycle, from creation to the final report:
- Batch creation from validated recipes.
- PLC-based batch execution for maximum reliability.
- Visual monitoring of the status of each unit and operation.
- Synchronization between units during the process.
«Operators have ready-to-use faceplates and unit symbols, with ISA-88-based commands and real-time parameter adjustment.»
Traceability, alarms and production reports
WinCC Unified SIQENCE V20 SP1 strengthens transparency and traceability of the production process through:
- Batch history (up to 1,000 records).
- Native integration of SIQENCE alarms in WinCC Unified.
- Automatic batch reports in Excel, with data on recipes, operations, times and actual values.
«These reports simplify production documentation, audits and quality analysis.»
Efficient engineering, fully integrated into TIA Portal
Engineering is done entirely from TIA Portal, using the SIQENCE Library:
- Optimized, ready-to-use PLC blocks.
- Direct integration between the PLC, HMI and plant hierarchy.
- Engineering scalable up to 30 units per system.
- No additional engineering licenses required.
In addition, the visualization is 100% web-based, compatible with WinCC Unified PC and Unified panels.
