Entering Measurement and Counter Readings 

Use

You have five different options for entering measurement and counter readings in the R/3 System.

Overview of all Options for Entering Measurement and Counter Readings

The PM-PCS Interface is an interface between the R/3 System and external systems, such as a Process Control System (PCS). Data from a process control system is data that arises during the monitoring, control, regulation, and optimization of a technical process. You can transfer this data to the R/3 System via the PM-PCS Interface. When transferring data, you can use a SCADA System (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System) which filters the data from the process control system and only transfers the data that is actually relevant to the R/3 System.
