Overview
The maintenance engineer can process the diagnostics mes-
sages and maintenance requests of the assets on the mainte-
nance station. Via the maintenance station the engineer can ac-
cess:
• Components of the process control system, e.g. intelligent
• Components of the process control system, e.g. intelligent
field devices and I/O modules, fieldbus, controller, network
components and plant bus as well as servers and clients of
the operator systems
• Assets that do not belong directly to the process control sys-
tem, such as pumps, motors, centrifuges, heat exchangers or
control loops (passive or indirect assets). These are repre-
sented by proxy objects in which the diagnostics rules are
stored.
The maintenance station for PCS 7 asset management uses
hardware and software components of the engineering system
and operator system. As a result of the close interlacing, ES, OS
and asset management functions execute on common hard-
ware. Such a multi-functional station cannot only be used for as-
set management, but also for system engineering or HMI.
The message system, user desktop, display hierarchy and oper-
The message system, user desktop, display hierarchy and oper-
ator prompting are oriented according to the HMI philosophy of
the operator system. The diagnostics data of all assets are dis-
played on uniform faceplates whose contents depend on the in-
telligence of the respective component. This means that working
with the maintenance station is simple and intuitive – complex fa-
miliarization is not required.
The diagnostics displays structured according to the plant hier-
The diagnostics displays structured according to the plant hier-
archy with the operating states of all PCS 7 components can be
displayed on the maintenance station and also on an OS client.
However, enhanced online diagnostics functions in conjunction
with HW-Config or SIMATIC PDM can only be called from the
maintenance station.
The user management and access control for the maintenance
The user management and access control for the maintenance
station accept the SIMATIC Logon integrated in SIMATIC PCS 7.

Design
Depending on the architecture of the SIMATIC PCS 7 plant, the
maintenance station can be implemented based on a SIMATIC
PCS 7 BOX RTX/416, PCS 7 single station or client/server com-
bination.

Two MS servers can also be operated as a redundant pair of
servers. The redundant MS servers must be configured like re-
dundant OS servers and expanded by the SIMATIC PCS 7 Asset
Runtime software.

The SIMATIC PCS 7 Asset Runtime basic package already con-
tains 100 asset TAGs. These can be expanded by cumulative
SIMATIC PCS 7 Asset Runtime licenses for 10, 100 or
1000 asset TAGs (Count Relevant Licenses).
