Just like the single-user system of the operator system, the cen-

tral engineering system of the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control 

system is based on the single station version of a SIMATIC 

PCS 7 industrial workstation. This is characterized by powerful 

PC technology combined with the Windows XP Professional op-

erating system. It can be used in offices or industrial environ-

ments.
One process monitor can be connected to the integral graphics 

interface. Increased user-friendliness can be achieved by con-

necting up to 4 process monitors using a special multi-VGA 

graphics card. 

■

The hardware platform for the engineering system of the 

SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system is the SIMATIC PCS 7 

Industrial Workstation of single station design. This is based on 

the SIMATIC Rack PC 547B and is already prepared for installa-

tion in 19" rack systems.
The SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstation of single station de-

sign is available in two versions which differ in their communica-

tions interface to the Industrial Ethernet plant bus:
• SIMATIC PCS 7 ES/OS RACK PC 547B BCE WXP

FastEthernet connection to plant bus with 10/100/1000 Mbit/s 

RJ45 network card and Basic Communication Ethernet (BCE) 

for communication with up to 8 automation systems (not fault-

tolerant)

• SIMATIC PCS 7 ES/OS RACK PC 547B IE WXP

FastEthernet connection to plant bus with CP 1613 communi-

cations processor (without limitations)

The CP 1613 communication integrated in the IE version 

SIMATIC PCS 7 ES/OS RACK PC 547B IE WXP is a combination 

of CP 1613 communications processor and S7-1613 communi-

cations software. When using fault-tolerant automation systems, 

the ES/OS single station requires the S7-REDCONNECT soft-

ware instead of the S7-1613 communications software. The 

S7-REDCONNECT Upgrade is suitable for upgrading the com-

munications software (for ordering data, see page 9/29).
The Windows XP Professional operating system and the 

SIMATIC PCS 7 engineering software for AS/OS are preinstalled 

on the SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstation on delivery. The 

scope of performance of the preinstalled SIMATIC PCS 7 engi-

neering software is defined by installation of the purchased soft-

ware licenses.
A 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet RJ45 port is already onboard and 

can be used for connecting to an OS LAN (terminal bus).

The scope of delivery also includes a mouse. The keyboard and 

monitor must be ordered separately (see page 2/15 and 2/17).

A multi-VGA card can be added to the engineering system. 2 or 

4 monitors can then be connected per station (see Section 

"SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstation" in Chapter "System-

neutral components").
