What is SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX RTX?
SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX RTX is a complete process control system which can consist of the
following components:
● Operator station (OS)
● Automation system WinAC RTX (internal AS)
● Distributed I/O
● Optional:
– Engineering station (ES) (depending on the configuration variant)
– SIMATIC PDM
SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX RTX enables you to cost-effectively build a complete process control
system with all necessary components and SIMATIC PCS 7 standard software.
Areas of application for SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX RTX
SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX RTX is suitable for the following areas of application:
● Autonomous small plants
● Subprocess units (package units) with an integrated operator control and monitoring unit
● Testing, educational and training systems
● Research facilities
Due to the full integration in SIMATIC PCS 7, you can enjoy all the benefits of the modern
SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system. Above all, this applies to the following applications:
● Externalizing the engineering station from SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX RTX and thereby
performing the engineering from an external engineering station
● Configuration of AS-AS communication using SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX RTX in the PCS 7
network
● Combination of local operator control and monitoring with SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX RTX and
centralized operator control and monitoring with PCS 7 OS in the control room
● SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX RTX is a cost-effective automation system for plants in which
configuration in run (CiR) is not required.
