Structure of SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX
Process Control System PCS 7 - PCS 7 BOX
3-14 A5E00272813-01
Special Features
• The SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX also represents a stand-alone, self-contained unit in
this configuration variant.
• Time synchronization can be implemented via a central time master connected
to the plant bus or via the local PC clock.
• The communication between an AS in a PCS 7 network and the CPU 416-2
PCI within the SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX station can be performed with the
software WinAC 3.4 for SIMATIC S7 CPU 416-2 PCI.
Note
Since the AS-AS communication with the integrated CPU 416-2 PCI takes places
over the on-board Ethernet interface of the Box PC 620, this communication
should be kept to a minimum to avoid overloading the processor in the Box
and potential connection failure scenarios.
If the Box PC is switched off or unstable, the CPU 416-2 PCI cannot be access via
this connection.
