OS archiving

■

The central archive server (CAS) can archive approx. 

10000 process values/s from as many as 11 servers or pairs of 

servers of the SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.0 process control system. It is 

configured in a SIMATIC PCS 7 project like other stations of the 

SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system (e.g. OS server, batch 

server, route control server, all clients or OpenPCS 7 station).
The process values and messages managed in the database of 

the CAS can be visualized clearly on the OS clients. The Stor-

agePlus Viewer of the CAS can be used for data visualization on 

the OS single station. Data selection is supported by integrated 

filter functions. Messages and process values can be shown in 

table form, and process values also in graphic form. Tables of 

process values can be exported in CSV format for processing in 

other Windows applications, e.g. Microsoft Excel.
The data managed by CAS and the cataloging can be swapped 

out onto all commercially available storage media. This requires 

additional hardware and software which support the CAS oper-

ating system, e.g. a DVD writer with appropriate writer software. 

Swapping-out can be initiated either by an operator input or 

when a certain amount of the hard disk is full. 

• Archiving of messages, process values and reports of the SI-

MATIC PCS 7 V7.0

⋅

operator systems

• Archiving of batch data from SIMATIC BATCH V7.0
• Cataloging of all data
• Swapping out of all data as well as cataloging onto external 

storage media

• Reading-in of the swapped-out data and cataloging from ex-

ternal storage media

• Data visualization on the OS clients: 

- Parameterizing of views (display windows and masks) in-

cluding the selection criteria for displaying the data

- Visualizing of messages in table form dependent on filter 

functions

- Displaying of process values in table or graphic form depen-

dent on filter functions

- Visualizing a batch overview (selecting the detailed protocol 

of a batch from the batch overview is possible)

• Exporting of process values in CSV format, e.g. to Microsoft 

Excel

• Access protection with user-specific privileges, also using SI-

MATIC logon

• Configurable redundancy mode
