3.4.1 PROFIBUS system configuration
Overview
The positioner can be used in a number of system configurations.
Use with the SIMATIC PCS 7 Automation System is described below.
System communication
The Operator Station of the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system allows easy and safe
control of the process by the operating personnel using OS Multi-Clients.
The Maintenance Station assists the maintenance engineer in guaranteeing high plant
availability, securing this long-term using optimization measures, and implementing the
maintenance measures using a minimum of personnel, materials, energy, costs etc.
The field devices are integrated over PROFIBUS PA with:
● PA Link to the gateway between PROFIBUS PA and PROFIBUS DP
● Control system, e.g. SIMATIC PCS 7 Automation System, which communicates over
PROFIBUS
● Engineering Station, SIMATIC PDM (Process Device Manager) which communicates over
Industrial Ethernet
