Introduction
Automation with SIMATIC Controllers
You need optimal solutions for every application area to en-
able you to automate your machines and plants economically
and flexibly. This applies in plant construction and mechanical
equipment manufacture as much as in the production or pro-
cess industries and in one-off production or standard produc-
tion. The answer is: SIMATIC Controllers.
Your objectives: Staying ahead of the competition
Markets are on the move more than ever and product life
cycles are getting shorter all the time. You as a plant builder or

SIMATIC Controllers Description
SIMATIC Modular Controllers
The modular SIMATIC Controllers have been optimized for
control tasks and specially designed for ruggedness and
long-term availability. They can be flexibly expanded at any
time using plug-in I/O modules, function modules, and
communications modules. Depending on the size of the
application, the right controller can be selected from a
wide range according to performance, quantity frame-
works, and communications interfaces. The modular con-
trollers can also be used as fault-tolerant or fail-safe sys-
tems.
SIMATIC Embedded Automation
The SIMATIC Embedded Automation products utilize the
openness of HMI and PC-based systems and offer an in-
creased level of ruggedness. Controller, applications and
HMI all run on the same device without the use of rotat-
ing parts such as hard disks or fans. The operating system
used is tailored and optimized to the hardware architecture
in each case. SIMATIC Embedded Automation products are
ready to use and can be installed direct on DIN rails or at the
machine on-site.
SIMATIC PC-based Controllers
The SIMATIC PC-based controllers can run on standard PC
systems as software controllers. Any PC applications, oper-
ator control and monitoring tasks, as well as technological
functions can simply be combined here to form an overall
automation solution. The extensive resources of an indus-
trial PC, such as its user memory, are exploited here.
Siemens AG 2008

Powerful tools for optimizing engineering
For your automation solutions, you require software that pro-
vides you with optimal support for your specific applications. All
the components used must work together without any problems
and they must be usable within as short a familiarization period
as possible. SIMATIC Software is the universal configuring and
programming environment for all SIMATIC Controllers, operator
control and monitoring systems, and process control systems. All
tools are perfectly matched and support you in the most varied
tasks. Standardized user prompts facilitate familiarization with
the software thus saving time and costs.
Integrated software for effective engineering
SIMATIC software with the basic package STEP 7 and numerous
engineering tools supports the complete production cycle from
configuration all the way to commissioning, testing, and service.
STEP 7 encompasses both the hardware configuration of the
plant, and the parameterization of the modules, so no more
hardware settings have to be made. With STEP 7, the intercon-
nections within a project are established using a graphical op-
erator interface. STEP 7 contains the central tool for project
management: the SIMATIC Manager. The SIMATIC Manager
does not view just one CPU, but the overall system regard-
less of how many controllers, drives and HMI devices the solu-
tion comprises. The connections can be drawn across the en-
tire project with STEP 7.
Graphic configuring of the connections
Structured programming makes it significantly easier to de-
sign a user program. It is subdivided into clear, easily tested
units called blocks. A large library of standard blocks makes
program creation extremely efficient. Safety functions can be
generated in the STEP7 environment.
Reduced familiarization costs thanks to standard languages
For creating the user program, the three basic languages
Statement List (STL), Ladder Diagram (LAD), and Function
Block Diagram (FDB), and the high-level languages Structured
Text (ST) and Sequential Function Chart (SFC) are available.
They comply with IEC 61131-3 and are used worldwide as an
international standard.
For larger applications, the task-oriented Engineering Tools
are recommended:
S7-SCL (ST)
Structured Control Language is a high-level textual language
for programming complex algorithms and mathematical
functions, or for tasks in the area of data processing.
S7-GRAPH (SFC)
for graphical configuring of sequential controls.
S7-GRAPH is used for describing sequences with alternative
or parallel steps.
S7-PLCSIM
for simulating a controller including control and process.
With S7-PLCSIM, it is possible to test a program prior to
loading it onto the PLC of the plant.
S7-HiGraph
for automating function units with state diagrams. Using
this method, states and step enabling conditions are de-
scribed graphically.
CFC (Continuous Function Chart)
The technology chart for graphical interconnection of com-
plex functions, such as in process engineering.
Once created, programs can be easily used on different plat-
forms or ported to different controllers thanks to the compat-
ibility of the machine code.
Easy to use the software for Micro Automation
STEP 7 Micro/WIN software for the micro PLCs SIMATIC
S7-200 and LOGO! Soft Comfort for the LOGO! logic module
is especially easy to learn and program. Applications can be
implemented simply and quickly, for example, configuring of
visualization tasks and control of drives on the S7-200.
Siemens AG 2008
System characteristics 11
Flexibility also during operator control and monitoring
The SIMATIC software even helps to save costs during operation.
Clear visualization, clear message hierarchies and intuitive oper-
ation characterize the SIMATIC Human Machine Interface (HMI)
in particular. Since the configuring tools for controller and HMI
access the same database, your configuring overhead is reduced
to a minimum thanks to SIMATIC WinCC flexible.
Reduced installation and maintenance overhead
Premium Studio offers all of the important software tools for
automation technology. The DVD includes comprehensive en-
gineering and runtime software for SIMATIC and SINUMERIK
e.g. STEP 7 Professional, WinCC flexible, etc. The DVD also
contains the following: graphical programming languages,
HMI software, offline simulation, and software for integrating
the drive technology. The user does not have to install and
configure every software tool individually. Instead, he defines
the language and configuration once centrally. This selection
is then automatically adopted for all of the selected software
tools.
CAx: SIMATIC product data in electronic form
Automatic data transfer from and to planning/design tools
saves time, minimizes potential sources of error, and provides
for the fusion of the disciplines of electrical planning and au-
tomation. The technical and commercial data as well as the di-
mension drawings of the SIMATIC Controllers are available on
CD-ROM (CAx data):
Technical specifications in accordance with the ECAD com-
ponent standard (e.g. size, weight) for the bid phase
Commercial data (e.g. order number, price following im-
port of prices from the national CA01 Catalog, the interac-
tive catalog on CD-ROM) in the bid phase
Device drawings for creating documentation
Device dimension drawings for integrating in design draw-
ings (for control cabinet configuration, for example)
Device connection descriptions as macros for circuit dia-
grams
They can easily and conveniently be exported in different for-
mats.
Integrated software for effective engineering
Data storage on the CPU
The memory card makes it possible to store user programs
and any other data on the CPU. This has the advantage that in
the event of service work or system expansion, the executable
programs as well as the entire project, including all comments
and symbols, are available locally. When using high-level lan-
guages or graphical engineering tools, the program source is
available in the original form or graphically. In addition, it is
possible to store your own operating instructions, manuals
and machine documentation in all common file formats
directly on the CPU.

Diagnostics
Minimize downtimes through integrated diagnostics
Increases in productivity are being achieved more and more
through savings in costs. In this context, the focus is increas-
ingly on maintenance. The emphasis here is on rectifying
faults quickly in order to prevent costly downtimes with the
lowest possible personnel outlay.
Ideally, the operating personnel should also perform part of
the maintenance tasks. The operating personnel are on-site,
they are familiar with the procedures and can intervene quick-
ly. This saves time and reduces costs. If additional professional
maintenance personnel are needed, it is important that the
right specialist is called in. This prevents expensive services
being wasted by sending several specialists to the plant to
cover all eventualities. This can only be achieved if clear fault
diagnostics are obtained first. Fault diagnostics can be imple-
mented using intelligent diagnostic tools and with compre-
hensive functionality.
Intelligent diagnostic tools
speed up the configuration of fault messages,
enable significantly faster and more accurate error
diagnostics during operation and
offer suggestions for fault rectification.
Experience has shown that approximately 80% of all faults oc-
cur on the equipment units of the production installations.
PLC components are only affected in 20% of the cases.
Process diagnostics
Diagnostics that detect and indicate faulty states in the pro-
cess allow problems to be rectified quickly where they arise.
Process diagnostics are plant-specific and cannot therefore be
integrated into the PLC hardware or firmware. They are pro-
grammed by the manufacturer of the production plant and in-
tegrated into the user program. It is necessary to use diagnos-
tic tools here (S7-PDIAG, for example) that significantly re-
duce the development costs and that provide a wide range of
functions during normal operation.
Functions for diagnosing process faults are configured in an ef-
ficient and time-saving way in the SIMATIC Controllers instead
of using high-overhead programming. This reduces the costs of
implementing process diagnostics for the manufacturer and
the operator profits from increased plant availability.
System diagnostics
Internal diagnostics that indicate any faults in the system are
standard today. SIMATIC Controllers provide particularly ef-
fective integral system diagnostics for signaling system faults
of this type.
All SIMATIC Controllers have extensive functions for system
diagnostics. Memory faults, short-circuits, wire breaks or
module failures can be quickly detected and corrected in this
way.
Signaling of system errors
STEP 7 supports the diagnostics of system errors with the
function "System error signaling". Components are also
scanned here that are connected to the PLC over PROFIBUS or
PROFINET. In a parameterization screen form, the sequence,
contents and structure of the error message are combined to
suit requirements without the need for any programming.
The fault text can be taken in this case from Hardware Config
or, in the case of fieldbus stations from the GSD (device data)
file. STEP 7 generates the necessary STEP 7 function blocks
and calls them in the user program.
Detailed system diagnostics
System diagnostics also include functions for detecting hard-
ware and program errors that can be used during installation
and commissioning of the plant.

During normal operation, detailed error analyses can be con-
ducted using the programming device or the PC. The follow-
ing functions are provided by the STEP 7 configuration tool
"Hardware Config" for the diagnostics of hardware errors:
Overview diagnostics:
The topology of the controller is displayed graphically in a
window. The module status is displayed in this window pro-
viding additional information at a glance without the need
to switch to other tools.
Detailed diagnostics:
When more detailed information is required, a detailed
window that contains comprehensive error details in plain-
text about the individual modules can be called directly
from the overview.
Status Force:
Inputs and outputs can be directly monitored and con-
trolled from the topology view.
All errors are entered in a diagnostics buffer on the CPU. In the
case of critical errors, the CPU is switched to the STOP state
and all I/O output signals are deactivated.
Increased availability for SIMATIC Industrial PCs
The system availability of embedded and PC-based systems
can be enhanced by means of the SIMATIC PC DiagMonitor
software option. This software is able to recognize and diag-
nose PC problems at an early stage and to monitor the tem-
perature. It also features an operating hours counter.
Advantages of Totally Integrated Automation
In combination with the SIMATIC WinCC visualization soft-
ware and WinCC flexible, the error messages can be automat-
ically displayed on the HMI system of the plant. The error mes-
sage generated in STEP 7 and called in the user program is
sent to the HMI system automatically.
STEP 7 and the SIMATIC HMI systems have a common data-
base, so the same plain text error messages will be displayed
in STEP 7 and on the HMI system.
TeleService
Thanks to TeleService, systems can be diagnosed, values can
be set, and data can be transferred from any part of the world.
TeleService contributes significantly to reduce travel and per-
sonnel costs for service calls and has therefore been a stan-
dard tool in automation for a long time.
Remote connections with TeleService can be used for remote
maintenance and remote linking.
Remote maintenance permits access to a CPU with STEP 7
A remote link is a connection for data transmission
TeleService also allows text messages to be sent through
SIMATIC Controllers.
Accessing operator panels and PCs
WinCC flexible/Sm@rtService is available for remotely access-
ing operator panels and PCs using WinCC flexible Runtime.
Machines and systems can also be remotely maintained from
any normal PC with standard browser:
Operating and monitoring via the Internet/Intranet
Event-controlled signaling of error statuses via
e-mail or text message
Service and maintenance functions (download of
projects/upload of recipes)

Communication
Unrestricted flow of information in the entire network
In order to get to the market more quickly, you must reduce
the integration costs for your machine and plant controllers .
To optimize process and production processes, your custom-
ers want a transparent flow of information from the corporate
management level right down to the field level.
The key to both requirements is integrated, standardized
communication.
That's why SIMATIC Controllers use the standards that are
most widely used in industry: Industrial Ethernet/PROFINET,
PROFIBUS, AS-Interface and Internet technology.
S7-300 and...
... S7-400 with PROFIBUS and
PROFINET interface
System-wide integration
All SIMATIC components speak the same language. Connec-
tions can therefore be configured very easily even across
network boundaries. The communications functions of
SIMATIC Controllers enable data areas to be transmitted
among the nodes of a network. Any programming devices and
panels connected to the network can also access the SIMATIC
Controllers.
To change from PROFIBUS to Industrial Ethernet, you simply
have to replace the communications processor or the CPU in
your configuration without intervening in the user program
and without additional engineering overhead.
Safety-oriented communication can also be implemented
very easily on the standard bus cable. The PROFIsafe safety
profile can be applied not only to PROFIBUS but also to PROFI-
NET.
Industrial Ethernet down to the field level
As a cross-vendor Industrial Ethernet standard for automa-
tion, PROFINET offers integrated real-time communication.
This enables the connection of field devices via Industrial
Ethernet as well as communication between controllers.
S7-300 and S7-400 now also support the connection of dis-
tributed I/O via PROFINET as well as PROFIBUS.
Into the office world with OPC
The standardized OPC interface (OLE for Process Control) gives
Windows-based applications direct access to the process data in
devices from different manufacturers. No special driver soft-
ware is required for this. This significantly reduces the integra-
tion costs. This facility can be used, for example, for visualiza-
tion or for connecting the SIMATIC Controllers with SIMATIC IT
to MES applications (Manufacturing Execution Systems).
Web services keep you informed at all times and at all
locations
The possibilities of the Internet make service and mainte-
nance significantly simpler. By using CPUs with integrated
PROFINET interface or communications processors with IT
functionality, you can use your standard web browser to ac-
cess the diagnostics information of your control components.
If such CPs are used, the SIMATIC controllers can be used to
send e-mails, e.g. for fault reporting to recipients worldwide.
Remote programming over the telephone network (ISDN) is
also possible.
Siemens AG 2008
System characteristics 15
The following bus systems are available for SIMATIC:
Industrial Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u) the interna-
tional standard for area networking is today's number one
network in the LAN environment with a share of more than
80%. Powerful communications networks with long ranges
can be established via Industrial Ethernet.
PROFINET the international standard uses Industrial
Ethernet and real-time communication right down to the
field level. If existing IT standards are fully utilized, PROFI-
NET even permits isochronous motion control applications
to be implemented via Industrial Ethernet.
PROFIBUS (IEC 61158 / EN 50170) the international stan-
dard for the field area is the world market leader in field-
buses. It is the only fieldbus to allow communication both
in manufacturing applications and in process-oriented ap-
plications. This opens up communications possibilities with
a host of partners, from the SIMATIC Controller to the field
devices of other manufacturers. Communication with ex-
isting SIMATIC S5 or SIMATIC 505 systems is also possible.
AS-Interface as a low-cost alternative to the cable
harness connects sensors and actuators via twisted-pair
cable.
KNX (EN 50090, ANSI EIA 776) is the global standard for
building automation.
Point-to-point connection as the simplest form of com-
munication between two nodes. Special protocols such as
RK 512, 3964(R), and ASCII are used here.
Multi-point interface (MPI) the low-cost solution for
communication with PG/PC, HMI systems and other auto-
mation systems, e.g. SIMATIC S7. Up to 125 MPI nodes with
up to 12 Mbit/s can be connected for exchanging process
data between different controllers (global data communi-
cation), for example, or for operator control and monitor-
ing without programming overhead.
Networks are set up via controls or links.

Communication
Connection to all standard bus systems
Connection of field devices to the controllers is supported by
AS-Interface, PROFIBUS DP, and PROFINET IO. For this purpose
the controller can be connected either via the interface inte-
grated on the CPU or using special communication processors
(CPs). Transitions between bus systems are implemented by
means of gateways, e.g. IE/PB Link PN IO.
Data exchange with other programmable controllers or intel-
ligent partners (PCs, computers, etc.) is implemented via MPI
interface, PROFIBUS or Industrial Ethernet. The MPI interface
on each CPU allows on the one hand, simple cyclic data ex-
change (without acknowledgement) and on the other hand,
programmed exchange of larger data volumes (with and with-
out acknowledgement).
For simple communications functions such as connecting
printers, scanners or third-party devices, point-to-point con-
nections via CPs are used.
Interfaces integrated direct into the CPUs enable you to set up
a powerful communication landscape using common bus
technology, for operator control and monitoring and PG func-
tions, for example. There are sufficient resources for connect-
ing a large number of HMI devices. With the help of a routing
function, a programming device connected to any point on
the network can reach all nodes on that network.
CPUs with integral PROFINET interface on the S7-300/400 are
predestined for Component Based Automation as well as for
programming and HMI over Industrial Ethernet. They also al-
low the control of distributed field devices connected direct to
Industrial Ethernet. Dispensing with the otherwise necessary
communications processor results in lower procurement costs
and other space benefits.
Communications interface modules can be used optionally in
some S7-400 CPUs in order to adapt these to the requirements
of the application in hand. By plugging such interface mod-
ules into the free slots of the CPU, additional DP lines can be
established as master or slave. Their functionality corresponds
to that of the integral interface.
The distributed I/O is configured, like the centralized I/O, with
STEP 7, thus saving engineering overhead. PROFIBUS and
PROFINET also allow parameterization and optimization of
field devices during operation, resulting in shorter machine
retooling times. Detailed device diagnostics additionally re-
duce plant downtimes.
PROFINET the open Industrial Ethernet standard
Uniform communication from the field level up to the control
level is currently one of the most important demands placed
on automation.
Standardized connection systems, uniform network manage-
ment, IT access mechanisms and comprehensive diagnostics
facilities mean that savings can be expected in all phases of
planning, commissioning and operation.
The advantages provided by rugged fieldbuses and by the
standardized IT functionality of Industrial Ethernet should be
utilized for uniform communication.
PROFIBUS International (PI) has defined PROFINET as a univer-
sal standard which opens up new facilities for the field level:
IT integration
Distributed automation
Utilization of Industrial Wireless LAN
Real-time
Transfer of large volumes of data
PROFINET (in accordance with IEC 61158 / 61784) is the open
Industrial Ethernet standard for industrial automation and
uses the TCP/IP standards.
PROFINET enables the implementation of distributed automa-
tion structures, the integration of simple distributed field de-
vices on Industrial Ethernet, and the operation of isochronous
motion control applications. Applications based on PROFIBUS
can be integrated via a proxy.
Apart from the time-critical input/output communication,
PROFINET also allows standard TCP/IP communication on the
same line. Both the CPUs with integrated PN interface and the
communication processors support this functionality.

PROFINET offers the following new features:
A fast start-up (FSU) of PROFINET IO Devices within < 1 sec-
ond at SIMATIC controllers permits swift changeover of
machine tools, e.g. on robots in the automotive industry
(using CPU 319 and S7-400 PN CPUs).
IO Devices can be replaced easily without programming de-
vices or removable media thanks to centrally stored topol-
ogy information (i.e. no memory card required for IO De-
vices).
This default setting of a desired topology allows the auto-
matic startup of IO configurations. This enables standard
machines, for example, to be put into service faster and
more easily.
PROFINET IO
PROFINET IO is used to directly connect distributed field devic-
es to Industrial Ethernet. Using the proven PROFIBUS configu-
ration method with STEP 7, these field devices (IO Devices) are
assigned to a central controller (IO Controller). Existing mod-
ules or devices can continue to be used with PROFINET-capa-
ble interfaces or links, thus safeguarding investments. An IO
Supervisor serves HMI and diagnostics purposes (overview
and detailed diagnostics). The following products configured
with STEP 7 are available for this:

Device directly to PROFINET.

nals and connect field devices directly to PROFINET:

PROFINET IO: Distributed field devices to Industrial Ethernet
Communications processors (CPs) expand S7-300/400

works to PROFINET, as well as with additional communica-
tion and safety functions.

tion). Modularization of plants results in benefits with regard
to standardization, expandability and reusability The S7-300
and S7-400 CPUs and WinAC RTX with PN interface are also
available for this purpose. Reusable, intelligent technological
modules, including their unique interfaces, are created with
STEP 7. SIMATIC iMap is used for configuration of the com-
plete system by graphically linking these modules, as well as
for simple diagnostics.

Safety engineering
Seamless safety for personnel, machinery and the
environment
Accidents and damage caused by faults in machines or sys-
tems must be prevented as far as possible. Laws regarding
safety at the workplace and protection of the environment are
becoming increasingly strict worldwide. Today, different
products and systems are frequently used for safety-related
functions (electromechanical) and standard tasks (classic
PLCs). Conventional wiring and the use of special safety buses
increase the wiring overhead on the one hand and the engi-
neering outlay on the other hand; fault diagnostics may take
up more time and availability is reduced.
That's why more and more machine manufacturers and plant
operators are using automation components even for safety-
related tasks. The safety of people, machines and the environ-
ment thus depends on the correct functioning of the automa-
tion systems. The same high demands that are placed on safe-
ty-related electromechanical components are therefore
placed on safety-related electronic systems as well. Systemat-
ic as well as random errors must be controlled.
SIMATIC Safety Integrated highlights
In the case of SIMATIC Safety Integrated, one controller han-
dles both standard tasks and safety-related tasks with one
shared I/O system. Only one shared bus cable is required. Only
one software is required for engineering.
Safety Integrated as a component of Totally Integrated
Automation
With Safety Integrated, Siemens as one-stop provider of auto-
mation engineering is offering a complete and integrated
safety program. As a component part of Totally Integrated Au-
tomation, Safety Integrated enables an integrated safety sys-
tem from the sensors, through the controllers, right up to the
drives. Thanks to the integration of safety technology func-
tions into the automation world of Totally Integrated Automa-
tion, standard automation and safety automation have be-
come one integrated overall system. This also generates con-
siderable cost savings for machine manufacturers as well as
for plant operators.
Key features of SIMATIC Safety Integrated
SIMATIC Safety Integrated comprises the failsafe SIMATIC
Controllers as well as I/O and engineering modules within the
product range of Safety Integrated. If a fault occurs, the appli-
cation can be flexibly transferred into a safe state and retained
in that safe state. These failsafe controllers are based on time-
proven standard PLCs. The PROFIsafe profile has been added
to both PROFIBUS and PROFINET for safety-related communi-
cation. Safety-related and standard communication are now
possible over only one standard bus cable. With PROFINET,
safety-related communication is also ensured in wireless net-
works.
Siemens AG 2008
System characteristics 19
Safety-related and standard data are transmitted over the same bus cable using
the PROFIsafe profile. "Black channel" means that safety-related communication
does not depend on the bus system and the lower-level network components.
The engineering for safety functions and standard functions is
carried out with the same engineering tools (STEP 7) sup-
ported by off-the-shelf FBs with certification from the German
Technical Inspectorate (TV).
In a SIMATIC Controller the safety technology is thus seam-
lessly integrated into standard automation. This simplifies op-
eration of the overall plant for the operating personnel, and
training costs as well as engineering costs are reduced.
Thanks to the fine-grained structure of the failsafe I/Os, safety
technology is only applied where actually required. Combin-
ing safety components and standard components is no prob-
lem, as well as the coexistence of safety-related and non-safe-
ty-related programs in one controller. Thanks to the open
standards PROFIBUS, PROFINET and PROFIsafe, it is easy to
connect the failsafe fieldbus devices of other manufacturers.
Product range
For the primary applications in manufacturing and process au-
tomation, SIMATIC Safety Integrated offers a scalable range of
failsafe controllers, all using shared I/O and communication.
All important standards and regulations are complied with, for
example:
IEC 61508 (up to SIL 3), IEC 61511,
EN 954-1 (up to Category 4),
NFPA 79-2002,
NFPA 85.
The relevant TV certificates document compliance with the
standards and regulations. Thus the worldwide use of SIMATIC
Safety Integrated for the protection of people, machines, and
the environment is made possible.
For factory automation, the CPUs 315F, 317F and 319F of
the S7-300, CPU 416F of the S7-400 and the IM 151-7 F CPU
and IM 151-8F PN/DP CPU of the ET 200S are available.
They are based on the respective standard CPUs. Various pro-
tective mechanisms have been added to their hardware and
operating system for executing safety programs. The entire
programming of the safety-related program is done by STEP 7
in the standard languages LAD and FBD. The software pack-
age "S7 Distributed Safety" supports configuration of failsafe
I/Os and programming using preconfigured, certified blocks.
The fault-tolerant CPUs 412H, 414H and 417H of the S7-400
are available for use in the process industry.
Safety-oriented applications in the process industry require
the software package "S7 F-Systems". One CPU can solve fail-
safe applications with SIL 3. For expanded system availability,
two redundant CPUs can be used to meet demands for fail-
safety and fault-tolerance. Program design is carried out with
the Safety Matrix or Continuous Function Chart (CFC) as well
as certified function blocks. "S7 F-Systems" supports the con-
figuration of the safety-related I/O and programming of the
logic.

Fault tolerance
Chemical industry
Fault-tolerant systems
enable operation without downtimes
As the degree of automation increases in industrial plants, the
availability of the implemented systems becomes more and
more important. Automation system faults or disturbances re-
sult in unproductive and therefore expensive downtimes on
the one hand and high restart costs on the other. Thanks to
their redundant structure, fault-tolerant automation systems
can ensure that the production process continues even after a
fault has occurred.
In addition, systems of this type also support operation of the
plant without requiring the presence of supervisory or main-
tenance personnel. The higher purchase prices of fault-toler-
ant systems are negligible when compared with the potential
for savings in the event of a fault.
Airports
The master controller (Station A) controls the fault-tolerant
area under no-fault conditions. The backup controller (Station
B) also has access to this fault-tolerant area. If the master fails,
the backup controller takes over control of the fault-tolerant
area.
The fault-tolerant area is therefore available even in the event
of a fault. Both controllers can also operate standard I/O with-
out demands for high availability, i.e. one controller can con-
trol the normal area as well as the fault-tolerant area.
Configuration of a fault-tolerant system
The S7-400H is a high-performance solution for all processes:

Integrated web server for diagnostics from any location
CPUs with an integrated PROFINET interface of S7-300/400 of-
fer web server functionality and permit diagnostics from any
location via the Industrial Ethernet network. Any web clients
such as PCs, Multi Panels or PDAs can use a standard Internet
browser and have read-access to the diagnostics data of a PN-
CPU that functions as a server for the web pages. For this pur-
pose, a web client must first be linked to a PN CPU via Indus-
trial Ethernet. Thus access to CPUs is not restricted to the stan-
dard method using STEP 7. Diagnostics can also be imple-
mented via the Internet depending on the respective IT infra-
structure of the company.
Access via Industrial Ethernet network to PN CPU with web server
The following diagnostic information, for example, can be
called up via the network:
Module identification of CPU
(e.g. station name, module name, order number, firmware
version)
Operating status of the CPU
(e.g. status of the mode selector switch)
Diagnostics buffer of CPU with plain text entries
Tag status and tag tables configured in STEP 7
Module status
(status of the station, e.g. modules in the rack and nodes
connected via bus)
Configured plain text messages
(signaling of system error)
Ethernet parameters and statistics
(IP address, MAC address, sent packages)
Display of the network topology
Representation of a PN-CPU in the Internet browser (example here: S7-400)
The web server integrated in the CPU offers the following ad-
vantages:
User-friendly access to diagnostics information of the CPU
during start-up and operation from any location. This in-
creases the plant availability and minimizes downtimes.
No additional hardware or software is required:
- The web pages are accessible via the integrated PROFI-
NET interface of the CPU.
- Each standard Internet browser, e.g. Internet Explorer,
can display the web pages.
Optimized display even for Multi Panels and Personal
Digital Assistants (PDA) with lower resolution
There is a graded security concept for the web server:
For security reasons, the CPU only has read-access to the
web server, i.e. it is not possible to write data to the CPU
using web mechanisms.
If read-access is to be authorized, the CPU can be protected
against unauthorized access by using a SCALANCE S mod-
ule.
If the web server function of the CPU is not required, the inte-
grated web server can also be switched off completely when
configuring using the configuration software STEP 7.

Isochronous mode
High-speed and precise processing operations
SIMATIC S7-400, S7-300 and WinAC RTX also enable decen-
tralized automation solutions to access the important applica-
tion area of high-speed processes and to achieve maximum
precision.
Applications subject to such requirements include:
Motion Control
Synchronous operation
Closed-loop controls
Software-based cam control systems
Measuring at several measuring points
Speed and
Flow measurement
This makes faster production possible while simultaneously
increasing quality. This is enabled by the isochronous mode
system function (not on fault-tolerant CPUs).
The principle of the isochronous mode
This refers to synchronization of signal acquisition and output
by means of distributed I/Os, signal transmission over PROFI-
BUS and program processing with the cycle of the equidistant
PROFIBUS. The result is a system which acquires and process-
es its input signals and outputs its output signals at constant
intervals. S7-400, S7-300 and WinAC RTX thus ensure exact
reproducibility and defined process response times, as well as
equidistant and synchronous signal processing with decen-
tralized I/O devices.
The exact chronological reproducibility of all processes allows
even fast processes to be handled safely. A comprehensive
range of components which support the isochronous system
function is available to solve many applications in the areas of
motion control, measuring and controlling.
Distributed automation structure with isochronous, deterministic time charac-
teristics (OB = Organization block)
Features
The user program is synchronized with I/O processing. Syn-
chronized means all processes are coordinated over time,
and all input data are acquired at a defined point (Ti). The
output data also become effective at a defined point (To).
The input and output data are synchronized with the sys-
tem cycle right up to the terminals. The data of one cycle
are always processed in the next cycle.
The input and output data are processed equidistantly.
Equidistance means all input data are always read in at the
same intervals and output data are always output at the
same intervals.
All input and output data are transferred consistently. Con-
sistency means all the data of the process image belong to-
gether logically and chronologically.

Operator control and monitoring
Panels Operator panels to suit all demands
Using SIMATIC HMI, our comprehensive solution for operator
control and monitoring, you can master the process and keep
your machines and plants running optimally. Regardless of
the industry or application, SIMATIC operator panels provide
the interface between man and machine and offer maximum
transparency. Rugged, compact and versatile they may be
integrated into any production and automation system at any
time. Key words such as mobile or stationary, Touch or Key,
PROFIBUS or Industrial Ethernet/ PROFINET indicate diversity.
SIMATIC Panels are available as pure HMI devices and as Multi
Panels with embedded operating system for additional system
resources. They are scalable in price and performance as well
as in their degree of openness and expandability.
The performance power of the SIMATIC Panels is crucially
determined by their software: SIMATIC WinCC flexible. WinCC
flexible permits the configuration of all SIMATIC Panels user-
friendly and with a clear structure. WinCC flexible is scalable
to match the different performance levels of the panels.
SIMATIC Panels communicate via open interfaces with just
about any automation system. The combination with SIMATIC
Controllers generates special benefits: The shared database
dispenses with the need for coordination when configuring,
thus saving time and money. During operation, SIMATIC Pan-
els support especially effective system diagnostics and so con-
tribute to increased plant availability.

WinCC flexible is available in several versions with progressive
levels of price and performance, which are optimally tailored
to the individual classes of operator panels.
WinCC flexible is the logical further development of SIMATIC
ProTool/Pro. Existing ProTool projects are compatible and can
simply be taken over and used for a project with WinCC flexi-
ble, thereby guaranteeing security of investment.
Reusable objects can be stored in a structured format in librar-
ies. WinCC flexible already provides a host of scalable and dy-
namically variable objects. Faceplates can be constructed
from simple image objects on a customer-specific or project-
specific basis. Changes to these faceplates only have to be
performed at one central location.
The fundamental structure of an HMI project can be deter-
mined with a few mouse clicks at the start of the project with
support from configuration wizards. Table-based editors sim-
plify the generation and processing of similar types of object,
e.g. for tags, texts or messages.
Complex configuration tasks such as the definition of motion
paths or the setup of the fundamental operator prompting
system are simplified by means of graphical configuration.

SIMATIC ET 200
SIMATIC ET 200S the all-rounder with the comprehensive
range of products for distributed automation
SIMATIC ET 200S with PROFINET interface and I/O modules
SIMATIC ET 200S is the multifunctional, highly modular I/O
system with IP20 degree of protection that can be exactly tai-
lored to the automation task. Thanks to its rugged construc-
tion, it can also be used under conditions of high mechanical
stress.
Various interface modules are available for interfacing to the
PROFIBUS and/or PROFINET bus systems. Interface modules
with an integral CPU
1)
transfer the computing power of an S7-
300 CPU directly into the I/O device. They take the load off the
central controller and the fieldbus and facilitate a rapid re-
sponse to time-critical signals.
The interface modules with CPU functionality can be used in
stand-alone mode as well as for distributed automation solu-
tions with a medium-sized program. They correspond to a CPU
314 and enable distributed preprocessing of the production
data locally even in the fail-safe version. They communicate
with the higher-level programmable controller over the coex-
istent MPI/PROFIBUS DP slave interface.

Distributed automation solutions frequently involve not just
digital and analog signals, but also technological functions,
motor starters, frequency converters or a pneumatic inter-
face. The bit-modular ET 200S offers a comprehensive module
range to implement the tasks:
Technology modules
Motor starter
Frequency converter
Pneumatic interface
IO-Link sensor modules
Fail-safe modules (I/O, PM)
DP master module

SIMATIC ET 200pro modular and multifunctional
SIMATIC ET 200pro is an extremely small, rugged and high-
performance I/O system with IP65/67 degree of protection. It
does not require a control cabinet and can be directly mount-
ed on the machine. Its modular and time-saving structure al-
lows flexible, customized, distributed automation solutions to
be implemented.
ET 200pro can be connected to well-proven fieldbuses such as
PROFIBUS or to PROFINET, the open Industrial Ethernet stan-
dard for company-wide automation.
SIMATIC ET 200pro with PROFINET interface and I/O modules
The interface module IM154-
8 CPU with CPU functionality
is based on the CPU 315-2
PN/DP and offers the same
quantitative framework and
functions. The IM154-8 CPU
has two communication in-
terfaces,
one combined MPI/PROFI-
BUS DP interface, and
one PROFINET interface
with three ports.
The IM 154-8 CPU supports both PROFINET IO (up to 128 IO
devices can be connected) and PROFINET CBA, as well as
PROFIBUS DP (as master for up to 124 slaves).
The IM 154-8 CPU is not only compatible with the programs of
the S7-300 CPUs, but it also offers a high degree of data reten-
tivity (protection against voltage failure). A separate LED
signals maintenance alarms. Modules can be replaced easily
thanks to the Micro Memory Card. Firmware can be updated
over the network.
Furthermore, a web server functionality for information, sta-
tus, diagnostics, clock synchronization via the Ethernet (NTP)
is available. The open Ethernet communication (TCP/IP, UDP,
ISO-on-TCP) permits reliable and high-speed data exchange.
Isochronous mode is possible on the PROFIBUS.

SIMATIC S7-300: The modular controller for innovative
system solutions in the manufacturing industry
SIMATIC S7-300 is the best-selling controller of the Totally
Integrated Automation spectrum with a host of successful ref-
erence applications worldwide from the most varied industrial
sectors, such as:
Manufacturing engineering
Automotive industry
General machine construction
Special-purpose machine manufacturing
Standard mechanical equipment manufacture, OEMs
Plastics processing
Packaging industry
Food, beverages and tobacco industries
Process engineering
SIMATIC S7-300 for innovative system solutions in the manufacturing industry
Highlights
The SIMATIC S7-300 has been designed for innovative system
solutions with the focus on manufacturing engineering, and
as a universal automation system, it represents an optimal so-
lution for applications in centralized and distributed configu-
rations:
The ability to integrate powerful CPUs with Industrial
Ethernet/PROFINET interface, integrated technological
functions, or fail-safe designs make additional invest-
ments unnecessary.
The S7-300 can be set up in a modular configuration
without the need for slot rules for I/O modules. There is a
wide range of modules available both for the centralized
and the distributed configuration with ET 200M.
The Micro Memory Card as a data and program memory
makes a backup battery superfluous and saves mainte-
nance costs. In addition, an associated project, including
symbols and comments, can be stored on this memory
card to facilitate service calls.
The Micro Memory Card also enables simple program or
firmware updates without a programming device. The
Micro Memory Card can also be used during operation
for storing and accessing data, e.g.
for measured value archiving or recipe processing.
In addition to standard automation, safety technology
and motion control can also be integrated in
an S7-300.
Many S7-300 components are also available as a SIPLUS
version for extreme ambient conditions, e.g. extended
temperature ranges (-25 +60 C) and for use where
there is corrosive atmosphere / condensation.

Design
Design
The S7-300 enables space-saving and modular configura-
tions. In addition to the modules, only a DIN rail is required for
hooking in the modules and screwing them into place. This
results in a rugged and EMC-compatible design. The build-as-
you-go backplane bus can be expanded by simply plugging in
additional modules and bus connectors.
The varied range of the S7-300 can also be used for central ex-
pansions or the construction of distributed structures with
ET 200M; thereby producing very cost-effective spare parts
handling.
Expansion options
If the automation task requires more than 8 modules, the cen-
tral controller (CC) of the S7-300 can be expanded using ex-
pansion units (EUs) Up to 32 modules can be used in the cen-
tral rack and up to 8 per expansion unit. Interface modules
(IMs) handle communication between the individual racks au-
tonomously. In the case of plants covering wide areas,
CCs/EUs can also be installed at greater distances from each
other (up to 10 m).
In a single-tiered configuration, this results in a maximum
configuration of 256 I/O, and in multi-tiered configurations up
to 1024 I/O. In distributed configurations with PROFIBUS DP,
65536 I/O connections are possible (up to 125 stations, such
as ET 200M via IM 153). The slots are freely addressable, that
is, there are no slot rules.
The extensive range of S7-300 modules is also used in distrib-
uted automation solutions. The ET 200M I/O system that has
the same construction as the S7-300 can be connected via In-
terface modules not only to PROFIBUS but also to PROFINET.

CPU range
A graded CPU range with a wide performance range is avail-
able for configuring the controller. Thanks to their high pro-
cessing speed, the CPUs enable short machine cycle times.
The narrow module width results in a compact controller de-
sign or a small control cabinet.
The CPUs are available from a width of only 40 mm.
Fail-safe CPUs are available for safety-oriented applications.
The PROFIsafe profile for safe communication via PROFIBUS
and PROFINET allows the integration of safety-related func-
tions into standard automation environments.
Compact CPUs with widths of 80 or 120 mm also offer integral
I/O and integral technological functions. This onboard I/O
(digital/analog) and the technological functions save addition-
al investments in other modules.
Six performance classes of the S7-300 CPUs
1)
Connections stand for internal resources of the CPU for the communication with PGs/OPs
and over blocks. The standard bus communication and the PtP coupling do not require con-
nections. The PN CPUs offer 8 or 32 (CPU 319) additional connections for TCP/IP, UDP, and
ISO-on-TCP.
Applications include the following:
High-speed counting/measuring with direct access to the
hardware counter
Simple positioning with direct control of the
MICROMASTER frequency inverter
PID control with integral function block
This range is rounded off by a special technology CPU with
powerful technological functions, especially for motion con-
trol.
Together with the integral digital I/O and equidistant and iso-
chronous mode on PROFIBUS DP, off-the-shelf, PLCopen-com-
pliant motion control functions enable the flexible motion
control of several (even linked) axes.
Micro Memory Card
The Micro Memory Card is a compact medium that meets the
highest industrial requirements, especially ESD protection and
mechanical ruggedness.
The system-tested Micro Memory Card allows more write cy-
cles than conventional memory cards and offers know-how
protection because the serial number can be read out by the
program.
High performance CPU 319-3 PN/DP with integrated PROFINET interface
Useful additional functions:
Simpler and faster upgrade due to firmware update via net-
work.
Resetting of all settings to the factory settings using the
hardware switch (Reset to Factory).

Module range
The multi-facetted module range of S7-300 allows modular
customization to suit the most varied tasks. S7-300 supports
multi-facetted technological tasks and offers exhaustive com-
munication options. Apart from the CPUs with integrated
functions and interfaces, there is a wide range of special mod-
ules in S7-300 design for technology and communication.
Technology
Function modules are intel-
ligent modules that inde-
pendently execute the
technological tasks and
thus reduce the load on the
CPU. They are used when a
high level of accuracy and
dynamic response is re-
quired.

Point-to-point connection
Point-to-point link via communications processors (CPs) is an
extremely powerful and low-cost alternative to bus systems.
The advantage of point-to-point links over bus systems is es-
pecially pronounced when only a few (RS 485) devices are to
be connected to the SIMATIC S7.
The CPs can also economically connect third-party systems to
the SIMATIC S7. Thanks to the great flexibility of the CPs differ-
ent physical transmission media, speeds or even customized
transmission protocols can be implemented.
The CPs have a rugged plastic housing with LEDs for displaying
operating states and faults.
For each CP, there is a configuring package on CD with elec-
tronic manual, parameterization screen forms and standard
function blocks for communication between the CPU and the
CP.
The configuring data are stored in a system data block stored
in the CPU. When modules are replaced, the new module is
therefore immediately ready for use.
The interface modules for the S7-300 are available in three
versions, each with one interface for the different physical
transmission media.

Module range
Signal modules
Signal modules are the interface of the SIMATIC S7-300 to the
process. A host of different digital and analog modules pro-
vide exactly the inputs/outputs required for each task.
Digital and analog modules differ as regards the
number of channels, voltage and current ranges, electrical
isolation,
diagnostics and alarm functions, etc.
In all the module ranges named here, SIPLUS components are
also available for extended temperature range -25...+60 C
and corrosive atmosphere/condensation (www. si e-
mens. com/ si pl us). In addition, there are fail-safe modules
for safety-oriented applications.
Easy installation
The sensors/actuators are connected through front connec-
tors. These are available for the following connection meth-
ods:
Screw connection
Spring loaded
Fast Connect (insulation displacement )
When a module is replaced, the connector is simply plugged
into the new module of the same type; the wiring is retained.
The coding of the front connector avoids mistakes.
Fast connection
Connection with SIMATIC TOP connect is even simpler and
faster (not for the onboard I/O of the compact CPUs). Preas-
sembled front connectors with single cores and a complete
plug-in modular system comprising a front connector module,
connecting cable and terminal block are available.
High packing density
The high number of channels on the modules provides for the
space-saving design of the S7-300. Modules are available with
8 to 64 channels (digital) or 2 to 8 channels (analog) per mod-
ule.
Simple parameterization
The modules are configured and parameterized using STEP 7,
and there are no inconvenient switch settings to be made. The
data are stored centrally and, following module replacement,
they are automatically transferred to the new module so that
no setting errors can occur. No software upgrade is required
when using new modules. A configuration can be copied as
often as required, e.g. for standard machines.
Diagnostics, interrupts
Many modules additionally monitor signal acquisition (diag-
nostics) and the signals from the process (process interrupt).
This makes it possible to react immediately to process errors,
e.g. wire breaks or short circuits, and any process event, e.g.
rising or falling edge at a digital input. The response of the
controller can easily be parameterized in STEP 7.
Parameterization of an analog input module
Special modules
For test and simulation, the simulation module can be
plugged into the S7-300. It enables simulation of encoder sig-
nals via switches and indicates output signals via LEDs.
The module can be plugged in anywhere regardless of slot
rules. The dummy module reserves a slot for an unconfigured
signal module. When the module is installed later, the me-
chanical configuration and address assignment of the overall
configuration remain unchanged.
On the following page you will find criteria for selecting the
appropriate signal module for each application.

Power generation and distribution
Paper and printing industries
Woodworking
Textile manufacture
Pharmaceuticals
Food, beverages and tobacco industries

Use in a brewery...
Highlights
The following features make the SIMATIC S7-400 the
most powerful PLC:
The S7-400 is especially suitable for data-intensive
tasks in the process industry. High processing speeds
and deterministic response times guarantee short
machine cycle times on high-speed machines in the
manufacturing industry. The high-speed backplane bus
of S7-400 ensures efficient linking of central I/O mod-
ules.
The S7-400 is used preferably to coordinate complete
plants and to control lower-level communications lines
with slave stations; this is ensured by the high commu-
nication performance and the integral interfaces.
The power of the S7-400 is scalable thanks to a graded
range of CPUs; the capacity for I/O is almost unlimited.
The power reserves of the CPUs enable new functions
to be integrated without further hardware investment,
e.g. processing of quality data, user-friendly diagnosis,
integration into higher-level MES solutions or high-
speed communication via bus systems.
The S7-400 can be structured in a modular way without
any slot rules; there is a widely varied range of modules
available both for centralized configurations and dis-
tributed structures.
The configuration of the distributed I/O of the S7-400
can be modified during operation. In addition signal
modules can be removed and inserted while live (hot
swapping). This makes it very easy to expand the sys-
tem or replace modules in the event of a fault.
The storage of the complete project data including sym-
bols and comments on the CPU simplifies service and
maintenance calls.
Safety technology and standard automation can be
integrated into an S7-400 controller; the plant availabil-
ity can be increased by the redundant set-up of the
S7-400.
Many of the S7-400 components are also available in a
SIPLUS version for extreme environmental conditions,
e.g. for use where there is an corrosive atmosphere/
condensation. For further information, visit:

Design
Modularity
An important feature of the
S7-400 is its modularity. The
powerful backplane bus of
the S7-400 and the DP com-
munication interfaces that
can be plugged directly onto
the CPU allow the high-per-
formance operation of many
communication lines.
This makes it possible, for ex-
ample, to have one commu-
nication line for HMI and pro-
gramming tasks, one for
high-performance and equi-
distant motion control com-
ponents, and one "normal"
I/O fieldbus. Additionally re-
quired connections to
MES-/ERP systems or the Internet via SIMATIC IT can also be
implemented.
The S7-400 can be expanded centrally or in a distributed con-
figuration depending on the task. Add-on devices and inter-
face modules are available centrally for this purpose.
Distributed expansion is possible over the PROFIBUS or PROFI-
NET interfaces integrated in the CPUs. If required, communi-
cation processors (CPs) can also be used.
Design
An S7-400 system basically comprises a rack, power supply,
and central processing unit. It can be installed and expanded
in a modular way. All modules can be positioned freely next to
the power supply plugged in on the left. The S7-400 has a rug-
ged design without a fan. Signal modules can be hot-
swapped.
A multi-faceted module range can be used for central expan-
sions as well as for simple configuration of distributed topolo-
gies with ET 200. This results in very cost-effective spare parts
handling.
Simple installation of the SIMATIC S7-400 through hooking in the modules
In addition to the standard mounting racks, aluminum mount-
ing racks with 9 and 18 slots are also available. These alumi-
num racks are highly resistant to unfavorable environmental
conditions, and they are more rigid and around 25% lighter.

Design
Expansions
Centralized expansion
In a centralized expansion, additional mounting racks are con-
nected direct to the central controller. Distances of up to 100
m can be bridged while still providing the full performance of
the backplane bus. Over shorter distances, the power supply
can also be looped through. Mounting racks with 4, 9 or 18
slots are available as central rack. Up to 21 expansion units,
also with 18 or 9 slots for S7-400 modules, can be connected
via interface modules.
Distributed expansion
PROFIBUS or PROFINET are used for decentralized expansion.
For this purpose, the S7-400 permits the connection to the
bus systems via the interfaces integrated in the CPU. There is
a host of I/O modules in different degrees of protection (e.g.
IP20, IP65/67) available for this. They can be used to adapt the
S7-400 to the most varied tasks.

CPU range
There is a graded range of CPUs from the entry-level CPU right
up to the high-performance CPU for configuring the control-
ler.
All CPUs control large quantity structures; several CPUs can
work together in a multicomputing configuration to boost
performance. Thanks to their high processing speed and de-
terministic response times, the CPUs enable short machine cy-
cle times.
The different CPUs are distinguished by, for example, work
memory, address range, number of connections and execu-
tion time. As well as the standard CPUs, there are also two fail-
safe and three fault-tolerant CPUs available.
Seven performance classes of the S7-400 CPUs
Multicomputing
Multicomputing, that is, the simultaneous operation of sever-
al CPUs in one S7-400 central controller, offers users different
benefits:
The overall performance of an
S7-400 can be shared by means of multicomputing. For ex-
ample, complex tasks in technologies such as open-loop
control, computing or communication can be split and as-
signed to different CPUs. Each CPU is assigned its own, local
I/O for this purpose.
Some tasks can also be disconnected from each other in
multicomputing, that is, one CPU processes the time-criti-
cal process tasks and another handles the non-time-critical
tasks.
In multicomputing operation, all CPUs behave like a single
CPU, that is, when one CPU goes to STOP, the others are also
halted. The actions of several CPUs can be coordinated selec-
tively by instruction via synchronization calls.
In addition, data exchange between the CPUs takes place at
extremely high speed via the "global data" mechanism.
Performance
The S7-400 is characterized not only by short response times,
but also by large performance reserves. Extremely short re-
sponse times can be achieved in this way even when simulta-
neous communication is required or other unforeseen loads
occur. This makes specified response times possible, for exam-
ple the response time of an output signal to a change in an
input signal.
Additional functions can also be integrated without any fur-
ther hardware investment. Examples of new functions include
the saving and processing of quality data, user-friendly diag-
nostics or vertical integration into higher-level MES solutions.
The improved communication performance enables high-
speed communication over Industrial Ethernet as well as effi-
cient connection of the field level via PROFIBUS, for example
with isochronous tasks.
Diagnostics
The intelligent diagnostics system of the CPUs continuously
monitors the functional capability of the system and the pro-
cess, and registers faults and specific system events; the user's
own diagnostics messages can also be added.
The diagnostics can be used to determine whether the mod-
ule's signal acquisition (in the case of digital modules) or ana-
log processing (analog modules) is fault-free. When a diag-
nostics message is pending (e.g. "No encoder supply"), the
module triggers a diagnostics interrupt.
The CPU then interrupts execution of the user program and
runs the relevant diagnostics interrupt block. Process signals
can be monitored, and responses to signal changes can be
triggered via process interrupts.

Memory concept, buffering, special functions
Data/program memory
All CPUs of the S7-400 have a separation between data mem-
ory and program memory. This division of the work memory
provides a performance boost of 100% in some constellations.
Whereas a standard processor has to access its RAM at least
twice, the S7-400 special processor accesses the code memo-
ry and data memory simultaneously in the same cycle. There
are also separate code and data buses for this purpose. This
provides the user with additional performance power!
The size of the work memory is determined CPU that can be
selected from a finely graded range of CPUs.
The integral load memory (RAM) is sufficient for small to me-
dium-sized programs. For larger programs, the load memory
is enlarged by plugging in RAM or FEPROM memory cards (64
KB to 64 MB).
With the 64 MB RAM memory card, it is possible to store the
contents of the entire work memory of even the largest CPU.
This RAM memory is backed up using a battery of the power
supply. RAM memory cards are used especially in cases where,
for example, the user program has to be modified frequently
during the startup phase. RAM memory cards enable faster
saving than FEPROM memory cards, and any number of write
cycles.
For retentive storage without backup battery, there are plug-
in FEPROM memory cards available whose data are retained
even after the card has been disconnected.
Backup battery
The power supply modules of the S7-400 have a battery com-
partment for one or two backup batteries, depending on the
type. If the supply voltage via the backplane bus fails, this bat-
tery backs up the set parameters and the memory contents
(RAM) in CPUs and parameterizable modules and thus permits
a restart of the CPU after a voltage failure using the saved pa-
rameters. Both the power supply module and the backed-up
modules monitor the operating voltage and indicate when the
battery is empty.
Memory types of the SIMATIC S7-400
Special functions
The S7-400 CPUs have some highly useful special functions:
Simpler and faster upgrade due to firmware update via net-
work
Resetting of all settings to the factory settings using a hard-
ware switch (Reset to Factory)
Additional write-protection (for e.g. no component down-
load from PC to CPU) via a system function
Optional know-how protection by reading the serial num-
ber of the memory card, so that it is ensured that the pro-
gram runs only with the particular memory card
An integrated data record gateway permits integrated access
to data records across different bus systems and network
boundaries e.g. a control-level PC can communicate via PROFI-
NET with a lower-level S7-400 controller and the field devices
connected to it via PROFIBUS.

Configuration in RUN
Changes to the configuration during operation
Modifications or expansions are also required during opera-
tion of a plant (section), such as implementation of additional
sensors or actuators, reparameterization of I/O modules (e.g.
choosing of other interrupt limits). Possible applications are
non-stop requirements, that is, in continuous processes that
cannot be shut down or whose production cannot be inter-
rupted: process plants or manufacturing plants with high re-
start costs.
With SIMATIC S7-400, hardware configuration changes can be
carried out during operation of a plant without any adverse
effects. CiR (Configuration in RUN) enables plant expansions
and conversions during the operational phase.
Benefits
CiR enables plant expansions and optimizations. Expansion
and conversion of a plant can be made during operation of
the process. These changes to the plant are reaction-free.
This means expansions and conversions can be carried out
faster and at lower cost.
In addition, modifications in RUN enable an extremely flex-
ible response to process changes and process optimiza-
tions.
The time needed for the conversion of plants with no non-
stop requirements can also be reduced through changing
and reconfiguring during RUN because the plant does not
have to be re-initialized or synchronized due to hardware
configuration changes.
Application
Changes to the hardware configuration in RUN are possible
with distributed I/O. All standard CPUs of the S7-400 can be
used, as well as the S7-400H fault-tolerant CPUs in stand-
alone operation.
CiR processes can be carried out with the following DP
masters:
CPU via integral Interfaces
CP 443-5 ext (from V5.0)
IF 964 DP interface module
S7-400H CPUs in redundant configurations can be modified
during operation using the H-CiR function.
Functions
The following hardware configuration changes can be carried
out during plant operation:
Addition of distributed I/O nodes (PROFIBUS DP and PROFI-
BUS PA slaves), e.g. for establishing an additional process
line
Adding of I/O modules in the ET 200M distributed I/O sys-
tem, e.g. for implementing additional sensor technology
Undoing changes, that is, field devices (DP/PA slaves) and
modules that have been added can be removed again
Reparameterization of I/O modules in the ET 200M I/O sys-
tem, e.g. replacing parts when using a sensor with another
specification, or for selecting other interrupt limits

Module range
The multi-facetted module range of S7-400 allows modular
customization to suit the most varied tasks. S7-400 supports
multi-facetted technological tasks and offers exhaustive com-
munication options. There is a wide range of special modules
in S7-400 design technology and communication.
Technology
Function modules are intelligent modules that independently
execute the technological tasks and thus reduce the load on
the CPU. They are used when a high level of accuracy and dy-
namic response is required.

Point-to-point link
Point-to-point link via communications processors (CPs) is an
extremely powerful and low-cost alternative to bus systems.
The advantage of point-to-point links over bus systems is es-
pecially pronounced when only a few (RS 485) devices are to
be connected to the SIMATIC S7.
The CPs can also easily link third-party systems to the SIMATIC
S7. Thanks to the great flexibility of the CPs, different physical
transmission media, transmission rates or even customized
transmission protocols can be implemented.
The CPs have a rugged plastic housing with LEDs for displaying
operating states and faults.
For each CP, there is a configuring package on CD with elec-
tronic manual, parameterization screen forms and standard
function blocks for communication between the CPU and the
CP.
The configuring data are stored in a system data block stored
in the CPU. When modules are replaced, the new module is
therefore immediately ready for use.
With the S7-400 point-to-point link modules, adaptation to
the physical transmission media is achieved by plugging in the
relevant interface submodules, without the need for external
converters.

Module range
Signal modules
Signal modules are the interface of the controller to the pro-
cess. A host of different digital and analog modules provide
exactly the inputs/outputs required for each task. Digital and
analog modules differ as regards the number of channels,
voltage and current ranges, electrical isolation, diagnostics
and alarm functions, etc.
However, the S7-400 signal modules are only a subset of the
modules that can be connected to the S7-400 via PROFIBUS
DP. Centrally connected signal modules can be connected and
disconnected during operation. This makes module replace-
ment extremely easy.
In all the module ranges listed here, SIPLUS components are
also available for corrosive atmospheres/condensation.
(www.siemens.com/siplus)
Easy installation
The sensors/actuators are connected through front connec-
tors. When a module is replaced, the connector is simply
plugged into the new module of the same type; the wiring is
retained. The coding of the front connector avoids mistakes.
The S7-400 is also able to detect whether the front connector
is plugged in.
Fast connection
SIMATIC TOP connect makes connection even simpler and
faster. Preassembled front connectors with single cores and a
complete plug-in modular system comprising a front connec-
tor module, connecting cable and terminal block are available.
High packing density
The high number of channels on the modules is a reason for
the space-saving design. For example, modules with 8 to 32
digital channels or 8 to 16 analog channels are available.
Simple parameterization
The modules are configured and parameterized using STEP 7,
and there are no inconvenient switch settings to be made. The
data are stored centrally and, following module replacement,
they are automatically transferred to the new module so that
no setting errors can occur. No software upgrade is required
when using new modules. A configuration can be copied as
often as required, e.g. for standard machines.
Diagnostics, interrupts
Many modules additionally monitor signal acquisition (diag-
nostics) and the signals from the process (process interrupt.
e.g. edge evaluation) This makes it possible to react immedi-
ately to process errors, e.g. wire breaks or short circuits, and
any process event, e.g. rising or falling edge at a digital input.
The response of the controller can easily be programmed with
STEP 7. On the digital input modules, several interrupts per
module are possible.

appropriate signal module for each application.

SIMATIC S7-400H
Hot standby with SIMATIC S7-400H
The SIMATIC S7-400H is a
controller with two H CPUs of
the same type; in the event
of a fault, changeover takes
place from the master sys-
tem to the standby station. It
is suitable for fault-tolerant
processes with hot standby
requirements (processes
with changeover times short-
er than 100 ms).
Synchronization
The method of event-driven synchronization supports fast and
bumpless changeover to the redundant CPU in the event of a
fault. It resumes processing at the point of interruption with-
out any loss of information or interrupts. The operating sys-
tem ensures that all commands, which if executed indepen-
dently would produce different states in the two systems, op-
erate in synchronism. No programming or parameterization
has to be performed by the user for this purpose.
Features of the SIMATIC S7-400H
Design
The central devices can be configured in two different ways:
When the subunits have to be completely separated from each
other for availability reasons, it is appropriate to use two stan-
dard racks (UR1 and UR2). Each rack accommodates one CPU
and one power supply (PS). If extremely high availability is re-
quired, two redundant power supply modules can be used.
The distance between the two racks can be up to 10 km. Two
CPUs, each with either a single or a redundant power supply,
are plugged into the UR2-H rack with a segmented backplane
bus. This supports an extremely compact configuration.
I/O
Depending on the type of connection, the following I/O com-
ponents can be used:
All PROFIBUS slaves for single-sided connection
ET 200M for switched and redundant connection
Topology of the S7-400H with two controllers and the associated I/O
(standard and fault-tolerant)
Engineering
Programming is possible, as in the case of a standard system,
in all STEP 7 programming languages. The programs can easily
be ported from standard systems to a redundant system and
vice-versa. When the program is loaded, it is automatically dis-
tributed onto the two redundant CPUs. The functions and con-
figurations specific to redundancy are parameterized using
the S7 H-Systems option package (integrated into STEP 7 Ver-
sion 5.3 or higher). The planning engineer is free to concen-
trate solely on controlling the process.
Diagnostics/module replacement
Apart from the standard diagnostic functions, the following
functions are also available:
With the integrated self-diagnostics functions, the system
detects and signals errors before they can affect the pro-
cess. They enable the faulty components to be identified
and replaced quickly which speeds up repairs.
All components can be replaced during normal operation
(online repair). When a CPU is replaced, all the current pro-
grams and data are automatically reloaded. It is also possi-
ble to modify the program during normal operation, e.g.
changing and reloading function blocks
Changes can also be made to the configuration during nor-
mal operation, e.g. adding or removing DP slaves or mod-
ules, changing the memory configuration of the CPU.

Fault-tolerant CPUs
Three CPUs are available for the SIMATIC S7-400H to suit dif-
ferent performance requirements.
Apart from high volumes, the H-CPUs are also characterized by
high performance.
This is not only visible in a high processing speed, but also in
a large communication output. Furthermore, an integrated
memory type that detects and automatically corrects memory
cells corrupted through external influences is also used. The
H-CPUs now also permit a firmware update via the network.
Sync modules
The three H-CPUs are connected by means of fiber-optic cables
and "Sync modules" that can be directly plugged into the CPU.
This means that no slot in the rack is lost and that communi-
cation is extremely fast. The Sync modules can be replaced
with the voltage applied.
There are two types of Sync modules:
For Sync cables up to 10 m in length
For Sync cables up to 10 km in length with the CPUs 414-
4H or 417-4H for applications in which the subunits have to
be set up at some distance

I/O interface
The I/O can be connected to suit the availability requirements.
The following types of connection are available:
1. Single-sided connection (normal availability) for
all PROFIBUS slaves, e.g. ET 200M, ET 200S, ET 200eco
2. Switched connection (increased availability) for ET 200M
3. Redundant connection (fault-tolerant) for ET 200M
These configurations can also be mixed.

Y link
With the help of the Y link, a subordinate I/O station with var-
ious field devices can be easily connected to a redundant
PROFIBUS DP system, e.g. an S7-400H with two DP master sys-
tems.
In the event of a fault, the Y link switches over the complete
I/O line bumplessly to the active bus channel of the redundant
H system.

Redundant I/O
Principle of redundant I/O
Redundant I/Os are input and output modules that are redun-
dantly configured and operated. Maximum availability is of-
fered by the implementation of redundant I/O because in this
manner, failure of a CPU, a PROFIBUS line and a signal module
is compensated for. During normal operation, both modules
are active, i.e. in the case of redundant inputs, the values of
the shared sensor are read in by two modules, the result is
compared and made available to the user as a unified value for
further processing.
Principle of redundant I/O
In the case of redundant outputs, the value calculated by the
user program is output by both modules.
In the event of a fault, e.g. if one of the two input modules
fails, the defective module is no longer addressed, the fault is
signaled and processing continues with the intact module
only.
Following repair, which may be carried out online, both mod-
ules can be addressed again.
Numerous signal modules of the S7-300 (for distributed con-
figurations with ET 200M) are available for redundant opera-
tion. The prerequisite is STEP 7, Version 5.3 or higher with the
option package "S7 H systems" integrated.
Scalable availability
The availability is scalable in accordance with the redundant
I/O configuration:
1. Each module in a separate rack with redundant connection
to PROFIBUS
or
2. Each module in a separate rack with single connection to
PROFIBUS
or
3. Both modules in one rack.

Communication
High availability also applies to communication. Depending
on the network topology, redundant connections can be cre-
ated and activated automatically in the event of a fault.
Highly available communication is implemented in the S7-
400H using double CPs that are connected to the PC using the
software package S7-REDCONNECT.
In the event of a fault, the highly available communication link
takes over automatically and invisibly as far as the user is con-
cerned.

The bus is safely installed and not at risk of failure. Failure of one component per
device will be tolerated.
The same configuration as in Figure 1, but the bus is redundantly configured,
i.e. failure of the bus can also be tolerated.

SIMATIC Embedded Automation
Introduction
SIMATIC Embedded Automation combines different tasks:
Control
Operator control and monitoring
Data processing
Communication
on one shared, compact and rugged embedded platform.
Strict real-time requirements are also met.
In addition, this platform is flexible and can be effectively in-
tegrated into an overall solution. Including close links with
data processing or logistics systems, as well as connection to
technological tasks such as vision systems.
Thanks to their fan-free and disk-free design, the SIMATIC Em-
bedded Automation products can be used direct at the ma-
chine in harsh environments.
Customized versions increase flexibility and openness even
further, and tap into additional application areas.
SIMATIC Embedded Automation facilitates automation solu-
tions based on Multi Panels or embedded PC hardware.
The SIMATIC Embedded Automation products are combina-
tions of hardware and software that have been pre-config-
ured as turnkey solutions for specific automation tasks. They
combine the openness of PC-based controllers with the rug-
gedness of conventional controllers. In addition, they boast
flexible software installed on powerful, scalable hardware in
an open, compact combination.
The devices do not require fans and standard memory cards,
e.g. Compact Flash, SD or Multi Media Cards, are used instead
of a hard disk. Microsoft Windows XP Embedded or Windows
CE are used as operating system.
The products can be supplied with display, operator control el-
ements, technology, and HMI software already integrated,
along with interfaces to fieldbuses and Industrial Ethernet.
This provides a rugged, compact and low-cost device for data-
intensive tasks.
Spare parts are available for five years due to the short service
life of the chip sets, operating systems, and service packs
used. This is significantly more than for standard PCs, but not
as long as for classic SIMATIC products.
SIMATIC Multi Panels likewise require no fans or hard disks and
use Microsoft Windows CE as the operating system. They are
characterized by their high industrial capability and security
against viruses and are used predominantly at the machine
level. SIMATIC Multi Panels with WinAC MP optimally combine
both control and HMI functions in one device.

Modular Embedded Controller in S7-300 design
SIMATIC S7-mEC is a modular embedded controller in S7-300
design with the latest embedded PC technology. This embed-
ded controller combines the advantages of the tried and test-
ed modular S7 controller with PC technology in one new de-
vice.
On the one hand, SIMATIC S7-mEC stands out due to:
Maximum ruggedness without fan or hard disk
Modularity and scalability, e.g. central expansion with S7-
300 I/O and additional PC interfaces
Commissioning as for S7-300 by automation specialists
On the other hand, S7-mEC offers:
Standard Windows XP embedded PC operating system and
standard PC interfaces
Latest embedded PC technology
Openness in software and hardware (integration of stan-
dard Windows XP applications and standard PCI-104 cards)
The modular embedded controller is particularly suitable for
applications in which both control and data processing are of
major importance. The most important applications of the S7-
mEC are in special and series machine building, which apart
from the control task also integrate additional automation
tasks, e.g. HMI on one hardware platform. This means that
centralized expandability with the standard SIMATIC I/O is still
possible. In addition, the performance and openness of cur-
rent PC technology can be fully exploited.
S7-mEC consists of one Embedded Controller (EC 31) which
can be
constructed on the one hand with S7-300 SM modules
and on the other hand with expansion modules.
EC31 is available in the following functional versions:
EC31-RTX with software controller
EC31-HMI/RTX with HMI Runtime software and software
controller
In addition to Windows XP embedded, EC31 has an integrated
controller execution level system. Programming and diagnos-
tics as with all other SIMATIC Controllers are performed
with STEP 7. The I/O bus interface enables signal modules
(SM) and interface modules (IM) to be operated for the multi-
tier rack configuration.
WinCC flexible Runtime is already installed on the EC31-
HMI/RTX version in order to perform machine-level visualiza-
tion tasks on a ready-to-run basis.

nisms. Distances of 100 m or more can be spanned without
difficulty.
EC31 can be expanded with a vast range of different standard
PC modules:
The expansion module PC (EM PC) offers several interfaces,
including an Ethernet interface with separate IP address
and two slots for memory cards.
The expansion module PCI-104 (EM PCI-104) has three

SIMATIC Embedded Automation SIMATIC WinAC MP for Multi Panels 70
SIMATIC WinAC for Multi Panels
SIMATIC WinAC MP is the new software controller running un-
der Windows CE for the SIMATIC Multi Panels 277 and MP 377.
WinAC MP is ideally suited to small and medium-size applica-
tions in which maximum performance is not essential. WinAC
MP is a good alternative for price-sensitive applications, in
which the stability and ruggedness of a hardware solution are
still essential.
WinAC MP is very closely aligned with a hardware CPU and is
installed on the rugged and fanless Multi Panels.
The smaller version is optimized for MP 277.
The larger version is optimized for MP 377.
The Multi Panels with touch or key functionality are available
with display sizes between 8" and 19" and offer both real-time
and deterministic behavior via Windows CE.
WinAC MP uses familiar tools such as STEP 7 (V5.4/SP1 or high-
er ) and WinCC flexible (Standard or higher from Version
2007). This means that a switch is possible at any time with-
out any training overhead for new tools. The user interface of
WinAC MP is also supplied in the form of a "SIMATIC HMI
example project". Standard and high-feature ET 200 modules
(from I/O modules to technology modules) are connected as
I/O via PROFIBUS.
Timers, counters, flags and data blocks are retentive as in the
case of a hardware CPU . This is ensured by the multi panel
hardware without uninterruptible power supply (UPS). All
data (operating system, HMI data, PLC data, archive, recipes,
licenses, etc.) can be transferred with one keystroke to a stan-
dard memory medium (SD card, Multi Media Card, USB stick).

PC-based control with SIMATIC WinAC
SIMATIC WinAC (Windows Automation Center) is the PC-
based control system from Siemens. Thanks to their short in-
novation cycles and favorable price/performance ratio, PCs
are used today not just in the office world but also increasing-
ly for automation tasks such as operator control and monitor-
ing and data processing. Frequently, this does not exhaust the
resources of these increasingly powerful devices. So why not
open-loop and closed-loop control with the PC as well?
Thanks to the ruggedness of industrial PCs, this is no problem.
And the openness of the PC allows simple connection of all
the necessary hardware and software components. Optimal
system integration on the one hand, and openness to third-
party components on the other are not a contradiction with
Totally Integrated Automation (TIA). So what could be more
obvious than to solve all tasks in a single device and thus uti-
lize the benefits of PC-based technology within TIA?
A SIMATIC S7 is integrated into the PC to produce a cost-opti-
mized total solution in which all the components are available
from a single source, if desired. Developers and users profit
here from the experience and the global service network of
the market leader Siemens and from the high quality of the
SIMATIC products and systems. PC-based controllers are con-
figured and programmed with the STEP 7 standard software,
in exactly the same way as S7 Controllers. User programs can
run on a PLC (programmable controller) or a PC according to
customer wishes, and finished S7 programs can be adopted
for PC-based solutions.

Operator interface of SIMATIC WinAC RTX
Increased flexibility and openness
The WinAC RTX software controller is used when high perfor-
mance, high data volumes and at the same time hard real
time are required for the automation task. The optimized run-
time system supports the processing of extensive and de-
manding PC applications in parallel with the control task. It
runs under Windows XP Professional or Embedded and uses
the real-time core Interval Zero RTX to ensure real time and
deterministic behavior.
Real-time behavior means the response to process events
takes place within a specific time. The priority of the control
program compared to the Windows applications running in
parallel can also be specified.
Deterministic behavior means the control program is exe-
cuted in a fixed cycle and any Windows applications running
in parallel will be interrupted if required such as in drive con-
trols, for example. The time remaining after execution of the
control program at the end of the cycle time is available to
Windows.
Deterministic behavior of WinAC RTX through a constant cycle time with reserve
for Windows after execution of the control program
Open, PC-based control based on Windows
WinAC RTX enables control on the PC. WinAC RTX the
SIMATIC S7 in the PC is eminently suitable when, in addition
to control and visualization functions, tasks with high data
volumes and high-speed technological functions have to be
solved on a PC platform.
The SIMATIC HMI software is ideal for visualizing an integrat-
ed total solution within the scope of Totally Integrated Auto-
mation (TIA):

SIMATIC PC-based Controllers 73
WinCC and WinCC flexible can be connected via a SIMATIC
interface in order to exploit the advantages of the shared data-
base, such as convenient configuration and simple alarm
handling. PG/OP communication allows connection of
SIMATIC programming devices and operator panels.
WinAC RTX offers open data interfaces for vertical and horizontal integration of
other applications
WinAC RTX offers an open data interface to the standard soft-
ware of the office world for vertical integration on the basis of
OPC (OLE for Process Control). In the case of visualization and
data processing, simple and symbolic access to the process
data can be made via this open interface. The integral SIMATIC
NET OPC server enables vendor-independent communication
with all OPC client applications, such as visualization systems
from other manufacturers.
In addition, WinAC RTX also enables simple horizontal integra-
tion of technological applications such as barcode readers, im-
age processing, measured value acquisition, and numerical
controls. A supplementary product (ODK, Open Development
Kit) is available for this purpose. The integration of C/C++ pro-
grams into the WinAC RTX control program provides access to
all hardware and software components of the PC, creating a
very flexible solution.
WinAC RTX can be used on SIMATIC PCs and on most commer-
cially available PCs with the Professional versions of Windows
XP. The latest PC trends and operating system versions are
supported.
The performance of WinAC RTX can be scaled across the PC
platform. Applications range from machine-level control tasks
with rugged embedded PCs to high-end applications on PCs
with the latest technology.
In particular, the use on embedded PC platforms such as the
SIMATIC Microbox PC 427B with Windows XP Embedded re-
sults in cost-effective and very rugged solutions. The
Microbox PC 427B is characterized by its diskless and fanless
operation.
Use of SIMATIC know-how
WinAC RTX is programmed with the usual SIMATIC program-
ming tools with STEP 7 or, if required, also with the field-
proven engineering tools, such as the IEC 61131-3-compliant
languages S7-SCL (textual high-level language) or S7-GRAPH
(graphical configuring for sequential controls). All configura-
tion information for a PC-based application are created, man-
aged and saved centrally. In doing so, both centralized engi-
neering via Industrial Ethernet or PROFIBUS and engineering
on target are possible, with STEP 7 then installed direct on the
control PC.
WinAC RTX is code-compatible with SIMATIC S7, i.e. program
sections created for SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 can continue
to be used in WinAC RTX and vice versa. Existing investments
in software are thus protected. In conjunction with the famil-
iar and field-proven configuring using STEP 7, accumulated SI-
MATIC know-how can be used extremely well with WinAC
RTX.
Simple integration of technological functions
SIMATIC WinAC RTX enables simple integration of technolog-
ical functions for, say, counting, positioning and closed-loop
control tasks.
On the one hand, there are intelligent function modules of
the SIMATIC ET 200 distributed I/O devices available for this
that are connected via PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET IO.
On the other hand, different SIMATIC software packages en-
able the solution of simple technological tasks. Examples in-
clude Standard PID Control for general closed-loop control
purposes, and Easy Motion Control with its block library in ac-
cordance with the PLCopen Motion Control standard for tra-
versing linear or rotary axes.

Use of the PC resources and retentivity behavior
With WinAC RTX software controllers, your PC-based automa-
tion solution benefits from the high performance of modern
PCs. High processor clock rates result directly in a high-perfor-
mance solution. Using the PC work memory effectively re-
moves any size restrictions on your user programs.
WinAC RTX uses the main memory of the PCs and offers pro-
gram backup on the hard disk. Non-cyclic data such as produc-
tion parameters or recipe data can be stored permanently on
the PC's hard disk with the help of system functions (SFC 82
84).
On exiting, WinAC RTX saves all the data declared as retentive
to the hard disk. In order to ensure a defined shutdown of the
software controller in the event of an unexpected failure of
the PC voltage supply, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS,
e.g. SITOP DC UPS) can be used.
SIMATIC PCs with integrated, non-volatile memory enable up
to 128 KB of retentive data to be stored in the event of voltage
dip, regardless of the file system.
For SIMATIC PCs without integrated, non-volatile memory, the
WinAC NV128 plug-in card is available. This enables up to 128
KB of retentive data to be stored. Depending on the version of
the PC, however, the use of a UPS may be necessary.
Communication and diagnostics across all levels
WinAC RTX offers the full scope of performance of S7 commu-
nication with S7 controllers and other WinAC stations over the
PROFIBUS and Industrial Ethernet / PROFINET networks. Any
data areas can be sent and received with S7 Communication.
WinAC stations are handled identically to other S7 CPUs here.
WinAC RTX supports several independent PROFIBUS interfaces
(e.g. CP 5613) and a PROFINET subnet. Thanks to this and to the
activation / deactivation of PROFIBUS slaves, networks can be
constructed with great flexibility. Intelligent field devices with
complex functions can be integrated via PROFIBUS DP V1.
Direct access can be made to all IO devices and their compo-
nents from a central control desk across network boundaries
using WinAC RTX, especially for diagnostics purposes even
for remote diagnostics via Teleservice. This powerful routing
function indicates the status of the individual (sub)modules of
the slaves distributed on-site, that is, faults can be diagnosed
precisely in the control room.
For diagnostics purposes, direct access to the I/O level of the I/O devices is pos-
sible from the control desk using WinAC RTX

Connection of the I/O
WinAC RTX can control the distributed I/O not only via PROFI-
BUS, but also via PROFINET.
The I/O is connected via PROFIBUS DP at up to 12 Mbit/s via the
integral DP interface of the SIMATIC PCs or via communication
processors (CP 5611 A2/5613 A2). Up to four PROFIBUS lines
can be operated with up to 500 slaves.
In addition it is possible to connect the I/O via PROFINET.
This requires either the integrated Ethernet interface of the
SIMATIC PC or a CP 1616 (PCI) or CP 1604 (PCI-104) communi-
cations processor.
In addition, WinAC RTX also supports the system function iso-
chronous mode with the PROFIBUS interfaces. With isochro-
nous mode, high-speed, time-dependent applications such as
closed-loop controls can also be implemented with distribut-
ed I/O. This means that in addition to the control job other
functions can be integrated into a PC or smaller, more eco-
nomical PCs can be used for the same job. WinAC RTX can operate one PROFINET and up to three PROFIBUS subnets for
connecting the I/O

Open Development Kit (ODK)
Integrating special tasks
PC-based solutions typically include technological tasks such
as image processing, measured value acquisition and numer-
ical controls. The new WinAC option Open Development Kit
(ODK) allows flexible use of all PC resources from the control
program via three different interfaces in order to provide
high-performance expansion of the PLC functionality. All the
operating system functions and system resources of Windows
are available to the programmer for this purpose, also provid-
ing access to external hardware and software components.
An ODK application is developed with a standard development
environment for C-/C++ programming, such as Microsoft Visual
Developer's Studio. This provides the application developer with
the familiar environment tailored to Windows applications.
C++ programming knowledge is not required for integrating
such applications into the WinAC control program. The ODK
applications can be used like normal system functions in the
STEP 7 program.
Developers of C++ applications can get support from the
WinAC Competence Centers:
www.siemens.com/pcbasedautomation/cc
WinAC ODK offers three interfaces for the following applications:
Custom Code Extension Interface (CCX) for calling your
own C/C++ programs from the WinAC control program
Shared Memory Extension Interface (SMX) for high-speed
WinAC data exchange with Windows applications
Controller Management Interface (CMI) for integrating the
WinAC Panel functionality into a Windows application
Custom Code Extension Interface (CCX)
ODK includes an application wizard and a class library for simple
programming in Microsoft Visual C++. The C++ program running
outside WinAC is called via the CCX from the PLC program with
the help of two system functions (SFC 65_000, SFC 65_001). The
C program can be executed in three different ways:
Synchronously, that is, processed as part of the PLC cycle
Asynchronously, that is, started by the PLC program and
terminated in the background
Continuously, that is, processed parallel to the PLC program
This allows diverse applications to be implemented.
Some examples include:
Connection of fieldbus cards to WinAC
Integration of robot control software into WinAC
Direct access to Windows file system
Implementation of special communications protocols
Complex calculations for control of the quality of packaging
film
Operator interface of the application wizard with class libraries and C++ program

Open Development Kit (ODK)
Shared Memory Extension Interface (SMX)
Via SMX, ODK supports the development of applications re-
quiring data exchange between Windows applications such as
Visual C++ and the WinAC PLCs, as is the case, for example, in
closed-loop control or image processing tasks. This data ex-
change is especially fast via the a dual-port RAM (DPR) or
shared memory, accessed by both the external C++ program
and the PLC program. ODK includes libraries for reading and
writing to this DPR according to the polling method. From the
viewpoint of the WinAC PLC, the DPR represents a 4KB I/O area
that can be accessed with load/transfer commands.
Typical applications of the SMX:
Connection of motion control systems
Connection of systems for measured data acquisition and
analysis
Transfer and backup of large volumes of production and
quality data
Direct and high-performance integration of an order data-
base
The Shared Memory Extension Interface (SMX) enables data exchange between
software controllers and Microsoft applications
Controller Management Interface (CMI)
With ODK, the function of the WinAC Panels can be integrated
into a Windows application (see figure). For this purpose, the
CMI provides the application with the following functions of
the WinAC Panel:
LED status
Start and stop of the PLC
Subsequent loading of programs
Application examples:
Integration of the WinAC Panel into an HMI application
Remote operation of the PLC
Implementation of specific user rights
