The OS standard software is adapted to the SIMATIC PCS 7 

Industrial Workstations offered (OS single station, OS server and 

OS client).
The OS standard software for OS single stations and OS servers 

can be adapted to plants of various size by means of the number 

of process objects (PO). The number of POs can be increased 

at any time by adding more PowerPacks in order to allow for 

higher requirements of system expansions.
You can also implement redundant system configurations with 

OS single stations and OS servers. See page 5/16 for details.
The engineering of the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system 

is usually concentrated in a separate engineering system. In the 

case of OS single stations used for small plants, engineering 

and operator functionality can be combined in one station, ex-

cept with redundant systems (for engineering software, see Sec-

tion "Engineering system"). 
The high-performance cyclic buffer archiving system integrated 

as standard in OS single station and OS server for short-term ar-

chiving of up to 512 variables can be expanded to 1500, 5000 

or 10000 variables using SIMATIC PCS 7 Archive PowerPacks. 

Furthermore, the variables of the SIMATIC PCS 7 archive itself 

can also be accumulated for the short-term archive within the ex-

pansion limit of 10000 variables (Count Relevant Licenses). 
The short-term archive can also be combined with a long-term 

archive. See page 5/19 for details.
The OS standard software of OS single stations and OS clients 

can be expanded by SFC visualization and the safety matrix 

viewer.

 A process object (PO) is a synonym for an operable and observable 

block with approx. 30 to 50 individual OS variables (parameters). 

When licensing, an average of 50 OS variables is calculated for one 

PO.
