Note The process control system, described here, is called BRAUMAT.
The name BRAUMAT is well known in the field of breweries.

Note For configuring the communication you should divide between the following
aspects:
- used control-family SIMATIC S7
- the type of coupling between OSes and ASes

Each possible combination of this parameter leads to a own system-typical

plant configuration. This extends from simple structures, like e.g. one PCU
coupled to one IOS, up to very complex configurations with e.g. 16 or more
PCUs coupled via a redundant H1-Bus to several Server - IOSes plus several
Client-IOSes which are tied via a normal Ethernet.
A Server-IOS is connected directly with the PCUs, whereby a Client–IOS can
only communicate via Server-IOS via TCP/IP with the PCUs.
The communication is organized in channels. These communication programs
are supplied either with a default or with a plant-specific configuration. Special
path settings, configuration files and parameter assignments are required for
the relevant system configuration.

Note BRAUMAT supports the multiclient mode, which has a significant impact on
the several INI files. A user-friendly configuration tool is now available for
configuring the multiclient (see chapter Plant configuration with ‘SiteCfg’ -
Application ).

Note For the coupling between AS and OS or OS and OS the application PCU-
Server is necessary.
This application should run on every Server or Client.
The application is automatically started with the start of BRAUMAT/SISTAR
Classic.
The PCU Server has two particular tasks:
- It makes the necessary functions available for the Client-Server via TCP/IP
- It administrates a sequence of Server functions. The Server functions are
coupled as so-called 'Miniports' to the PCU-Server.
The PCU-Server may be expanded functionally by the functions of the
Miniports. The Miniports are implemented as Windows DLLs.
