Functional compatibility with SIMATIC PCS 7
SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX RTX is compatible with SIMATIC PCS 7 and offers the following range
of functions:
● SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX RTX provides the functionality of a standard CPU, an OS single
station (without redundancy) and an engineering station (optional).
● The CPU can communicate with another AS via communication blocks (interconnected in
the CFC ) and can physically communicate via the Industrial Ethernet interface integrated
in the SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX RTX.
● The CPU can communicate with an OS server via the Industrial Ethernet interface
integrated in the SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX RTX.
● The "Compile and download objects" function in SIMATIC Manager can be used for the
