3.4.4 SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX in a PCS 7 network
In this configuration variant, the SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX station is integrated in a
PCS 7 network and functions as an AS/OS client station. In contrast to the
"SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX with external engineering" variant, two network connections
are needed from the SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX station to the terminal and plant bus. In
this variant, you can perform the time synchronization of the CPU 416-2 PCI using
a time master integrated in the plant bus.
