PCS 7 PoT
PCS 7 ES provides powerful engineering tools, for example:
• SIMATIC Manager: project creation, library creation, project management and

diagnostics, etc.
• Multi-project: In the SIMATIC Manager, you can create projects (single projects)
or multi-projects. A multi-project contains one or several projects and a master
data library.
• Master data library: A master data library is associated with a multi-project.
Different from other system or application specific libraries, a master data library
is within a multi-project and collects all function types used in the multi-project.
• Component View: Used for adding and engineering new stations such as ES,
AS and OS.
• Plant View: Used for design Plant Hierarchy (PH) of plants.
• Process Object View: During engineering, you create many objects. The
Process object view contains all the engineering aspects of a project. You display
these objects and edit them in the view.
• HW Config: Hardware Configuration Environment for an AS. Used for

configuration of CPUs, communication processors, peripheries and field buses,
etc.
• NetPro: Configuration Environment for communication between AS and AS, as
well as, AS and OS.
• Configuration Console: With the Configuration Console, you can change the
settings of PC Network adapters.
• Station Configurator: It displays the actual PC configuration found and set up
for PCS 7 systems.
• SIMATIC NET: NetPro, Configuration Console, and Station Configurator are
interfaces of the SIMATIC NET. SIMATIC NET is a platform to configure network
and bus systems used in a SIMATIC project.
• CFC: Continuous Function Chart. Used for design of libraries, automation logic,
interlocks, algorithms and controls, etc.
• SFC: Sequential Function Chart. Used for design of sequential controls, logic and
interlocks, etc.
• SCL: Structured Control Language. Used for programming of algorithms and
creation of function blocks, etc.
• IEA: Import Export Assistant. Used for generation of control models, process tag
types and replicas.
• WinCC: Windows Control Centre. PCS 7 operator interfaces and visualisation.

• Graphics Designer: Design of plant pictures, graphic objects and animations.
• Web Navigator: With PCS 7 OS Web you get the facility to monitor and control
the process via internet or intranet.

Page 1 - 2
PCS 7 PoT
Engineering of PCS 7 projects on an ES can be divided into two phases namely AS

engineering and OS engineering.
AS engineering covers the design of the plant hierarchy, function blocks, CFCs,
SFCs, configuration of hardware and communication components.
OS engineering covers the design of plant operating interface with operating
functions and plant pictures, as well as the configuration of the archive and protocol
(s. Capital 1.5)
A lot of system functions from AS engineering are automatically available for OS

engineering with the function: “Compile OS”.
1.3 AS: Automation Station

A PCS 7 automation station comprises of the following modules:
• Module Rack (Rack)

• Power Supply (PS)
• Central Processing Unit (CPU)
• Communication Processor for plant bus (CP for Ethernet) (optional)
• Communication Processor for field bus (CP for PROFIBUS DP) (optional)
• Input and output modules (optional)
The CPU, comprising of hardware and firmware, processes an S7 program, which is

downloaded from the ES via the plant bus and programs. PCS 7 AS contains the
CPUs, which are from Siemens SIMATIC S7 400 series. They can communicate with
the field level via an internal PROFIBUS DP interface or via a/several CPs .
A typical example of automation systems with a link to Distributed I/Os is shown in

Picture 1.2.
Picture 1.2: An automation station

Page 1 - 3
PCS 7 PoT
The S7 program, which is processed in the CPU, consists of a continuous processing

sequence of the cascaded blocks.
What are blocks? Which blocks are there in PCS 7?

“Block” is an important concept in PCS 7. A summary of the blocks used in the
system is listed in Table 1.1.
Block Brief Description of Function

OBs determine the structure and the processing sequence of
Organisation block (OB)
the user program.
System function block (SFB) SFBs and SFCs are integrated in the S7 CPU and allow you
System function Call (SFC) to access some system functions.
FBs are blocks with a program and a "memory" to store
Function block (FB) variables.
You can design your own FBs.
FCs contain program routines for frequently used functions.
Function Call (FC)
FCs have no memory.
Instance data block Instance DBs are associated with blocks when an FB/SFB
(instance DB) is called. They are created automatically during compilation.
DBs are data areas for storing user data. Furthermore, the
Data block (DB) data that are not assigned to a function block, can
also be defined as global DBs (shared data) and used globally
by any blocks.
System data (SDB) SDB contains the data of HW configuration.
Table 1.1: Blocks of PCS 7
Note
The abbreviation SFC is for the Sequential Function Chart (editor or charts). The
System Function Call will not use the abbreviation. However, you will see objects
such as SFC4, SFC265, SFB35, etc. in the PCS 7 system and they mean the system
Functions (System Function Call / Block ).
1.4 Field devices

A big advantage of PCS 7 systems is the seamless integration of various field
devices and instruments into their central control systems using field bus technology.
Siemens itself and various device-vendors, as members of PROFIBUS User
Organization (http://www.profibus.com), provide ranges of drives, transmitters,
sensors, and instruments, which are compliant to the PROFIBUS DP protocols.
PROFIBUS DP supports intrinsically safe instrumentation and has interfaces to other
field bus systems, such as PROFIBUS PA, HART protocol and foundation field bus.
Picture 1.3 shows an overview of the field level of a PCS 7 AS.

Page 1 - 4
PCS 7 PoT
Picture 1.3: PCS 7 field level
1.4.1 PROFIBUS DP and PROFIBUS PA

PROFIBUS DP is designed to replace the traditional parallel signal transmission with
24 volts in manufacturing automation and also for analogue signal transmission with
4 – 20 mA or Hart in processing automation. PROFIBUS DP overcomes the distance
from a PCS 7 AS to a field zone with baud rates up to 12Mbit/s. Within a field zone,
the PROFIBIS PA profile defines the parameters and behaviour of typical field
devices such as measuring transducers or positioners. The PA profile is suitable for
analogue signal transmission with additional status, service and diagnosis
information.
Benefits are obvious when comparing the PROFIBUS technology to conventional

cabling technology. Separation, terminal and distribution devices are replaced by one
PROFIBUS system. It is efficient to install the bus systems because of availability of
the graphic interfaces and comprehensive diagnostic tools. With fibre optic wiring,
long distance communication, e.g. between buildings, becomes feasible. The
simplicity of PROFIBUS significantly reduces commissioning and servicing efforts.
Picture 1.4 shows the simplicity of using PROFIBUS technology.

Page 1 - 5

Picture 1.4: Simplicity with PROFIBUS DP and PA
1.4.2 PCS 7 Engineering tools for field devices (PDM)

SIMATIC PDM (Process Device Manager) can be integrated into the PCS 7
engineering systems or used as a stand-alone console. SIMATIC PDM is a tool for
commissioning, maintenance, diagnostics and display of field devices and
automation components. Picture 1.5 shows the software environment where you can
calibrate a device, set devices addresses on the bus and communicate online with a
device.
Picture 1.5: Parameterization and communication with devices using PDM

Page 1 - 6
PCS 7 PoT
PCS 7 system also provides library functions to integrate devices into automation
design. Picture 1.6 shows that the reading of a pressure transmitter is cyclic read into
the CFC via the function block PA_AI and the value is displayed at OS.
Picture 1.6: Field devices integrated with the PCS 7 engineering tools
1.5 PCS7 OS: Operator Station

In the simple case, a PCS 7 OS is a computer to operate the process plant and
simultaneously assume the administration/maintenance and archiving functions for
the process valves and messages, named as OS Single Station.
In a distributed system, OS is differentiated between OS Client and OS Server. OS
Client is used to operate the plant in a control room. OS Server assumes all the
administration/maintenance and archiving functions.
(1) OS engineering
OS engineering is conducted at an ES. An OS project, as one part of an ES project

can be configured by the following functions:

Page 1 - 7
PCS 7 PoT
• Design of graphic objects (buttons, slides, trends, faceplates etc.).

• SFC Visualization: Automatic graphic map of SFC operation sequence in the OS
runtime system.
• Design of data archives (variables and messages) and long-term data storage.
• Design of reports: Printing-out of system and process data.
• User administration: Allocation and control of authorisation accesses of users
for different operational roles.
• Redundancy: Configuration of a second equivalent OS server that is coupled
with the primary server. If one of the two server computers fails, the second
server assumes the administration/maintenance of the entire system. After the
server which failed is brought back into service, the contents of all message and
process archives are copied and synchronised.
• Time Synchronisation: One OS acts in run-time as a time master and controls
the time synchronisation of all other OS and AS connected to the plant bus and
terminal bus with the current time.
• Lifebeat Monitoring: Lifebeat Monitoring is used to constantly monitor the
individual systems (OS and AS) and visualises the results as screen displays in
the OS runtime system.
• Asset Management: In addition to Lifebeat Monitoring automatically generated
diagnosis pictures contributes to better maintenance of the plant and makes it
available to provide the data to superordinate management systems.
• Connection to other applications. PCS 7 OS provides open interfaces for user
solutions. This makes it possible to integrate PCS 7 OS into complex, company-
wide automation solutions, e.g. OPC or OLEDB.
It is possible to create 3 kinds of different OS projects.
(1) Single-user project

A single-user project is used for a stand-alone operating station. It is for small
systems where server and client functions are combined on one PC. Depend on
request engineering and operation can also be combined on a single station.
(2) Multi-user project

A multi-user project is used in the Server/Client environment. It is a project with an
own database, for an OS server station, it is possible to supply OS client stations with
the project data.
(3) Client project

A client project is also used in the Server/Client environment. It is a project without
own database, for an OS client station, it is possible to connect themselves to an OS
server station.
OS projects will be downloaded to the corresponding stations after OS

engineering.

Page 1 - 8
PCS 7 PoT
(1) OS server
An OS server provides the connected OS clients with the process values in process
pictures and passes the instructions of operators on to the function blocks in
assigned Ass. An OS server can be accessed by up to 32 clients, named as Operate
Station. Normally, OS server is not used to operate the plant. Depending on the
license one OS server can access up to 85,000 process objects, which can be
allocated on up to 32 ASs.
If plants project needs several OS servers, OS servers are arranged according to

plant hierarchies. One or more areas of the hierarchy are assigned to an OS server.
This is fundamentally different from SCADA systems where OS servers are arranged
according to archives, for example, message (alarms) server, process - trend
(process variables) server, and picture (graphic objects) server. Picture 1.7 shows
the distribution of PCS 7 OS servers according to the plant areas.
OS server 1 OS server 2 OS server 3
Plant Plant Plant

Hierarchy Hierarchy Hierarchy
Branch 1 Branch 2 Branch 3
Raw material unit Reaction unit Cleaning unit
Picture 1.7: PCS 7 OS servers
(2) Redundant OS server

Here, the redundancy is at the OS level. PCS 7 provides redundancy at all levels, for
example, at the AS level, plant bus level and peripheral level, etc.
Two OS servers can form a redundant pair of servers with one of them designed as
standby server. Both server of this pair are functionally identical and are running in
parallel during normal operation. Each server has its own process connections and
data archives. The AS sends the process data and messages to both redundant
servers. If one server fails, the clients will automatically switch from the failed server
to the other active server.
After the failed server comes back online, the redundancy will perform archive
synchronisation for the down time. The archive gap caused by the failure will be filled
by transferring the missing data to the server which was failed. This action equalises
the servers.
(3) OS client
An OS client communicates with the assigned OS server via terminal bus. Clients
have no direct access to the plant bus and ASs. They access project data on OS
servers only via a so-called server package.

1.6 The Plant bus and the Terminal bus

The plant bus and the terminal bus are realised with Industrial Ethernet, an efficient
area and cell net for the industrial area according to international Standard 802.3
(Ethernet). Bus structures with optical rings are particularly suitable due to their
stability and high availability.
For medium-sized and large plants with high requirements, SIMATIC PCS7 use
modern Gigabit and FastEthernet technology. It combines the high security of the
optical rings and the scalable performance by switching technology and high
transmission rates up to 1 Gbit/s.
Transmission media could be:

• Industrial Twisted Pair (ITP)
• Fibre-optic cable (FOC)
Picture 1.8 shows a possible network structure in PCS 7:
Picture 1.8: Industrial Ethernet and OLM

Page 1 - 10
PCS 7 PoT
The following switches are predominantly used in SIMATIC PCS 7:

• SCALANCE X414-3E with two Gigabit-Ethernet ports for design of plant bus
and OS-LAN (terminal bus) with redundant, optical Gigabit ring technology;
permits maximum communications performance, especially with very large
plants with comprehensive quantity frameworks and wide communication
networks.
• SCALANCE X208 with 8 ports for transmission rates up to 100 Mbit/s,
suitable for electrical Industrial Ethernet structures with linear, star or ring
topology (ring together with SCALANCE X-400 as redundant manager).
• SCALANCE X204-2 with 2 optical and 4 electrical ports for transmission rates
up 100 Mbit/s, suitable for optical Industrial Ethernet structures with linear or
ring topology (ring together with SCALANCE X-400 as redundant manager).
The plant bus and the terminal bus are best separately laid out in PCS 7. Normally,
there are one or several switches per control cabinet, where the communication
modules of AS, ES or OS are connected via a patch cable.
CP443-1 is used as AS communication module. In the simple case, a standard
network adapter is used as ES and OS communication module. For high
performance CP 1613 is used in plant bus.
For communication on the plant bus, the designed S7 connections of individual

stations are downloaded based on MAC address or TCP/IP address.
With PCS 7 you can configure the plant bus and the terminal bus as a redundant
network. The following redundancy concepts can be combined with each other:
Electrical or optical ring structure: One ring comprises of at least 2 switches,

whereby one assumes the function of redundant manager. It tolerates an error, for
example, an injury or breakup on a cable.
Redundant ring: A complete backup structure of an existing ring is built. Two rings
are coupled on the terminal bus. On the plant bus it is better to separate these two
rings.
Software SIMATIC S7 REDCONNECT (plant bus): If a fault-tolerant AS is in use,
S7 REDCONNECT can switch between 2 or 4 designed connections automatically.
Therefore a S7 connection fault-tolerant is created instead of a S7 connection. A
further prerequisite is that a CP1613 as network adapter is necessary in each OS
server or OS single station.
Redundant connection of terminal bus: Every OS on the terminal bus is
connected to a redundant ring structure with 2 network adapters. The two Intel
Network adapters are combined into team with a TCP/IP address, so that the station
can also be reached via the terminal bus in case of one Network adapter failed.

Page 1 - 11
PCS 7 PoT
1.7 From engineering to process operation

After the engineering phase of a project, the S7 program (AS-specific data: DBs,
FCs, FBs, and OBs etc.) is downloaded from an ES to AS to be executed. The OS
part of the project (OS-specific data: pictures, messages, archives and server
packages) is downloaded to OS servers and clients. The OS project is then activated
on the servers and clients. Now an operator can operate and monitor the process
with PCS 7 OS runtime system.
2. PCS 7 software system

2.1 Basic data
PCS 7 system capability is related to handling of process objects, variables and data
archives.
One process object (PO) means one AS function block (FB) with an OS faceplate.
The following relations are valid for a PCS 7 system and provide an approximation of
project data volume.
1 Process Object (e.g. motor, valve, control loop and SFC)

≈ 1 function blocks + faceplate
≈ 25-50 OS variables
No. of notes on the plant bus 1024

No. of clients accessing one OS server 32
No. of OS servers or pairs of server 12
No. of PO in an AS app. 500 depending on the scan cycle
No. of PO in a project 60,000
Table 1.2: PCS 7 system capability data
2.2 Software licensing

PCS 7 systems (AS + OS) are scaled according to the number of process objects
while OS runtime is based on the number of variables. The tier of the software
packages is listed in Table 1.3 where each of the licenses includes an archiving
license for 512 variables.
AS/OS license Max. Number of OS variables

250 PO 8000
2,000 PO 64000

3. Totally integrated automation (TIA)

SIMATIC PCS 7 system is a platform supplying the complete spectrum of automation
components in the process, hybrid and discrete (manufacturing) industrial sectors.
With application and innovation of new technologies, industry specific control
systems which were divided are merging and overlapping. PCS 7 is capable to
supply hardware and software components across the industrial sectors.
Picture 1.9: Industrial sectors and control systems
SIMATIC PCS 7 system is the core of Siemens concept for totally integrated
automation (TIA). Picture 1.10 shows the coverage of SIMATIC PCS 7 and relations
to other Siemens systems. Industrial networks (Plant bus and PROFIBUS) and field
devices are fully integrated into and covered by SIMATIC. The SIMATIC IT is the
Siemens product at the Management Execution System (MES) level. Through
SIMATIC IT PCS 7 systems can be connected to the enterprise level (ERP).
