8.2.3 Compatibility to SIMATIC PCS 7
Functional compatibility with SIMATIC PCS 7
The following functionalities are compatible with SIMATIC PCS 7:
● The SIMATIC PCS 7 AS mEC RTX automation system is compatible with a PCS 7 standard
CPU.
● The CPU can communicate with another AS via communication blocks (interconnected in
the CFC ) and can physically communicate via the Ethernet interface integrated in the
SIMATIC S7-mEC.
● The CPU can communicate with an OS server via the Ethernet interface integrated in the
SIMATIC S7-mEC.
● The "Compile and download objects" function in SIMATIC Manager can be used for the
configured CPU.
● You can set the time synchronization of the AS using the "WinAC Time Synchronization"
function.
● Diagnostics software is included on the bundle PC to provide diagnostics for the SIMATIC
S7-mEC functions.
You can find additional information in the manual

Update with Utilization of New Functions
.
● Field devices and HART modules can be operated at a SIMATIC PCS 7 AS mEC RTX .
Properties of SIMATIC PCS 7 AS mEC RTX
● Configuration: The CPU is listed in HW Config in the catalog under SIMATIC PC Station
\Controller\... .
● The CPU of the SIMATIC PCS 7 AS mEC RTX can be loaded and diagnosed by a PCS 7
engineering station, which is connected via the Ethernet interface integrated in the SIMATIC
S7-mEC.
● It is not possible to perform plant changes during runtime using CiR (Configuration in Run).
● The scale for field devices is reduced compared to other automation systems used with
PCS 7:
