Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 Configuration Manual

In terms of hardware requirements, from PCS 7 V8.0 Update 1 you require a CPU with firmware
>= V6.0 and a IM153-4 HF V4.0. For standard CPUs with firmware V5.3, a CP443-1EX30 must
be used as a PROFINET IO controller.
Note
PROFIBUS DP continues to represent the preferred field bus solution for a PCS 7 plant.
Users should use the "SIMATIC Process Control System PCS 7 Engineering System" (https://
support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109485969) manual for planning PROFINET IO
within PCS 7.
You can find information on configuration and commissioning in the following contributions:
