Connection of redundant OS single stations / OS servers on the plant bus

The operator systems (single stations or servers) communicate 

with the automation systems via the Industrial Ethernet plant bus. 

The following special points must be observed for redundant 

configurations:
• BCE communication via Ethernet network card 

10/100/1000 Mbit/s is generally also sufficient for redundant 

operator stations. Up to 8 automation systems can be con-

nected per pair of servers in this manner.

• Communication using CP 1613 is only required in the follow-

ing cases: 

- Connection of a subordinate fault-tolerant automation sys-

tem

- More than 8 stations are required per OS.

• An operator station with CP 1613 is delivered with the S7-1613 

software. If a subordinate fault-tolerant automation system is 

to be connected, the S7-REDCONNECT software is required. 

In this case, the S7-REDCONNECT upgrade must be ordered.

• If an operator station with BCE communication is to be up-

graded for operation with a subordinate fault-tolerant automa-

tion system, the S7-REDCONNECT software is required in ad-

dition to the CP 1613 communications processor.

• If the plant bus is to be designed as a redundant dual ring, you 

require two interface modules (2 x Ethernet network cards 

10/100/1000 Mbit/s or 2 x CP 1613) per OS single station / 

OS server.

You can connect clients and servers to a non-redundant terminal 

bus (OS-LAN) using the onboard Ethernet interface or a desktop 

adapter network card. With a redundant terminal bus where two 

rings are connected together via two pairs of switches, each sta-

tion must be connected to both rings using a SIMATIC PCS 7 

redundant terminal bus adapter package. The SIMATIC PCS 7 

redundant terminal bus adapter package consists of server and 

desktop adapter network cards (for details on the configuration, 

refer to the Manual "SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.0 fault-tolerant process 

control systems").
