PCS 7 TeleControl blocks for system-conformant operator 
control and monitoring
The RTUs are integrated into the PCS 7 TeleControl Operator 
System by means of the PCS 7 TeleControl blocks such that 
there is no difference for the operator with regard to operat-
ing philosophy and alarm behavior for the central or remote 
automation functions. 
The blocks required for data conditioning and display are 
saved in a library. These blocks support SIMATIC PCS 7 compli-
ant operator control by means of symbols and faceplates, as 
well as the hierarchy of SIMATIC PCS 7 fault messages.
In addition to blocks for processing of process data, the 
library also contains blocks for diagnostics and for control 
of communication. If necessary, the supplied basic library can 
be extended by new script-based block types specific to the 
project by using the DBA Type Editor.
Long-term archiving and 
logging
The PCS 7 TeleControl Operator System includes a high-perfor-
mance cyclic archive based on Microsoft SQL Server for time-
limited saving of process values and messages/events. Data 
from this cyclic archive can be exported time-controlled or 
event-controlled to a long-term archive (StoragePlus/central 
archive server). 
The logging system of the PCS 7 TeleControl Operator System 
supports the display and evaluation of data recorded during 
operation by means of various predefined types of protocol 
which can also be matched individually:
• Message sequence report
• Message and archive log
• Measured value log
• Operator input log
• System message log
• User  log
The logs saved in EMF format can be previewed on the screen, 
and can be printed manually or time- or event-controlled.
In order to comply with statutory directives and standards it 
may be necessary to provide special proof, e.g. proof of con-
formity with the ATV M260 standard for sewage treatment 
plants. The SIMATIC PCS 7 add-on product ACRON equipped 
with additional functionalities for long-term archiving and 
logging provides excellent support for this purpose.
