3-13
The authorization for the preinstalled PCS 7 software corresponds to the
authorization you have obtained for the configuration variant "SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX
with external engineering station". You can activate the complete preinstalled
PCS 7 software (Runtime) and the PDM (Process Device Manager) with this
authorization.
Note
The authorization for the PDM must be ordered separately.
The connection of the PDM (through the ES in a PCS 7 network of the PDM or on
the SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX station) determines whether or not the PDM can be
activated on the SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX station or the ES in a PCS 7 network of the
PDM with the authorization.
Mode of Operation
The on-board Ethernet interface of the Box PC 620 is connected to the plant bus of
the PCS 7 network. This connection (ISO protocol) is used to download the S7
program from a central ES in a PCS 7 network to the CPU 416-2 PCI of the
SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX station.
The optional CP 1512 interface in the form of a PC card (PCMCIA) within the
SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX station is connected to the terminal bus. This connection
(TCP/IP protocol) is used to download the OS from a central ES in a PCS 7
network.
These two connections can be used to create and edit programs for the external
ES in a PCS 7 network.
Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to the configuration variant " SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX
in a PCS 7 network":
• The communication between the OS in the SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX station to an
OS server in a PCS 7 network is currently not planned.
• The operation with @PCS7 is currently not planned.
• Plant changes during ongoing operation using CiR (Configuration in Run)
cannot be performed.
