Introduction
Modular automation systems of the S7-400 range
The rugged automation systems of the S7-400 series are suit-
able for universal use. They are characterized by high process-
ing and communication performance. The product range offered
basically differs in the following features:
•
AS 410-5H/AS 410E automation systems
- Preferred systems for new plants with SIMATIC PCS 7
- Suitable for SIMATIC PCS 7 as of V8.0+SP1
1)
or as of V9.0
(AS 410E)
-
Standard systems, fault-tolerant systems, and safety-related
systems are based on the very same CPU
- Performance of the general-purpose CPU 410-5H is
scalable and expandable based on the number of process
objects
- Changes in the type of module during operation (TCiR)
possible together with the SIMATIC PCS 7 Engineering
System V8.1 and higher
- Redundant PROFINET configurations and configuration
changes during operation for PROFINET in singular and
redundant applications
•
Complementary S7-400 systems
- Can be used in plants with SIMATIC PCS 7 V8/V7
- As an alternative to AS 410-5H/AS 410E, primarily in
systems with SIMATIC PCS 7 V7
- Scalable based on types of CPU differing in performance
The CPU for all automation systems of the S7-400 series is al-
ready equipped as standard with the PROFIBUS DP fieldbus
connection. Depending on the type of CPU, one or two further
PROFIBUS DP interfaces are possible directly on the CPU using
additive IF 964 DP interface modules. If required, up to
10 PROFIBUS communication modules can be additionally
operated on each CPU.
S7-400 automation systems can be integrated via a PROFINET
interface into the CPU in PROFINET IO, some types via commu-
nication module CP 443-1 as well.

An additional Hardware Upgrade Package (HUP CPU 410-5H) is required
for SIMATIC PCS 7 V8.0+SP1
Embedded automation systems
The embedded automation system SIMATIC PCS 7 AS RTX is a
low-priced compact Microbox system with excellent physical
properties. It is especially well-suited for plant-level use in the
low to medium performance range or as an OEM product, e.g.
in Package Units. Depending on the selected product variant, it
is possible to connect the process I/O via a routing-capable
PROFIBUS DP interface (SIMATIC PCS 7 AS RTX PROFIBUS) or
a PROFINET interface (SIMATIC PCS 7 AS RTX PROFINET).
