Overview
SIMATIC PCS 7 AS RTX with DIN rail, front view
SIMATIC PCS 7 AS RTX
SIMATIC PCS 7 AS RTX is an excellent alternative to S7-400 de-
sign standard automation systems, especially for small applica-
tions, due to the following characteristics:
•
Resistant to vibration and shock thanks to:
- Compact and robust design
- Complete absence of fans and rotating storage media
•
Maintenance-free, 24-hour continuous operation at operating
temperatures from 0 to 50 °C in an RAL environment (RAL =
restricted access location), for example, in a lockable control
cabinet
Depending on the preferred communication in the field, the fol-
lowing design versions are available:
•
SIMATIC PCS 7 AS RTX PROFIBUS for connecting
PROFIBUS DP
•
SIMATIC PCS 7 AS RTX PROFINET for connecting
PROFINET IO
■
Application
As a result of its exceptional physical properties and small
dimensions, the SIMATIC PCS 7 AS RTX Microbox automation
system is exceptionally suitable for industrial use at plant level.
Possible fields of application:
•
Small production applications
•
Package units
•
Laboratory automation
SIMATIC PCS 7 AS RTX can also be combined with SIMATIC
PCS 7 BOX or automation systems of S7-400 design within a
plant.

Design
Design of the SIMATIC PCS 7 AS RTX
The two versions of the SIMATIC PCS 7 AS RTX Microbox
automation system, (PROFIBUS/PROFINET), are based on a
SIMATIC IPC427D with a system-specific configuration.
The compact design and flexible installation options of the
SIMATIC IPC427D (DIN rail, wall or portrait mounting in hori-
zontal or vertical orientation) support space-saving designs of
SIMATIC PCS 7 plants. A DIN rail and bracket for wall mounting
are supplied with SIMATIC PCS 7 AS RTX (PROFIBUS/
PROFINET).
The following are pre-installed on the built-in solid state disk
(SATA SSD 80 GB, eMLC):
•
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit operating system, multi-language
(English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese)
•
WinAC RTX 2010 controller software
•
SIMATIC IPC DiagMonitor diagnostics software
The pre-installed software is also supplied on a Restore DVD.
The SIMATIC PCS 7 AS RTX has an integral power supply with
electrical isolation.
