Introduction
■
Overview
SIMATIC PCS 7 automation systems in various designs: Modular S7-400
systems plus Microbox system
Automation systems are available in different designs for the
SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system. The automation perfor-
mance can therefore be finely scaled within wide limits.
The automation systems offered can be classified as follows:
•
Modular systems of the S7-400 series with hardware controller
in the versions "Standard", "High availability" and "Safety-
related"
- AS 410-5H/AS 410E automation systems
- Complementary S7-400 systems
•
Embedded systems with software controller
-
Microbox automation system SIMATIC PCS 7 RTX in product
versions SIMATIC PCS 7 AS RTX PROFIBUS and SIMATIC
PCS 7 AS RTX PROFINET
■
Application
Typical mixed configuration limits for SIMATIC PCS 7 automation systems, based on the SIMATIC PCS 7 Advanced Process Library (APL)
1)
up to 200 process objects
Note
:
The values quoted here are not AS-specific maximum values for the particular item. Instead, they represent a typical distribution of the available total
capacity of the AS during mixed operation of all the items of a contiguous block.
The number of process objects is not an absolute value, but depends on the library used as well as on the number and type of blocks used in the
application.
