Migration packages, AS 488 S migration package

This catalog is out of date, see note on page 3

■Overview

The AS 488 S migration package is an optimized, cost-effective and lump sum offer for migration of AS 220 S/H, AS 230/

AS 230 K and AS 235/AS 235 K automation systems (AS 220 H and AS 235 H with limitations) with AS 488/TM in cabinet pack- aging system.

Scope of delivery and services

The scope of delivery and services of the AS 488 S migration package is defined as follows:

•AS 488 S automation system (cabinet system) incl. system soft- ware

•Standard conversion service

„Conversion of AS 220 S/H into AS 488 S“

-Removal of subrack with the AS 220 S/H basic unit

-Installation of AS 488 S in the associated system cabinet, connection and commissioning

-Conversion, transfer and adaptation of the application soft- ware on the basis of the standard blocks, without testing of software functions

•or standard conversion service „Conversion of AS 230/ AS 230 K or AS 235/ AS 235 K into AS 488 S“

-Removal of subrack with the AS 230/ AS 230 K or AS 235/ AS 235 K basic unit

-Installation of the AS 488 S in the system cabinet, connection and commissioning (alternate solution required for CS 275 connection when replacing AS 230 K/ AS 235 K in system cabinets)

-Transfer and adaptation of the application software on the ba- sis of the standard blocks, without testing of software func- tions The application software – providing it corresponds to the standards described in the manuals – has compatible functions and can be used further.

AS 488 S migration package

Additive supplementary components and services

Previous experience has shown that migration solutions are usu- ally extremely specific, and deviate from the standard scope of the AS 488 S migration packages. Components or system ex- pansions, e.g. with distributed I/Os on the PROFIBUS-DP, which are not included in the standard scope can either be ordered as individual options (see section on AS 488 S cabinet system) or can be the content of individual additional agreements with ad- ditive services. Additional agreements always require an individ- ual quotation. In order to simplify the production of quotations, and to improve the cost transparency, special performance packages have been defined for frequently requested additional services.

•Conversion of I/O modules (max. 5) from the basic unit/system of AS 220 S/ AS 230 K/ AS 235/ AS 235 K into the MIG II migra- tion rack and rewiring of the associated process signal cables

•Reconfiguring of CD into DI couplings

•Structure analysis of application for illegal blocks or structure faults

•Documentation of the AS 23x application software according to the block sequence (following XB) with help of

PROGRAF AS/AS+

•Hardware adaptation/conversion resulting from elimination of redundancy when converting AS 220 H/ AS 235 H systems

•Extended configuring (SYST.WART) with connection of ET 100 or S5 I/Os

•Configuration and activation of the AG/AG coupling (additional hardware required)

•Configuration and activation of the MODBUS coupling (addi- tional hardware required)

•Basic installation of PROFIBUS-DP coupling (additional hard- ware required)

•Reconfiguration and adaptation of an existing PROFIBUS-DP coupling (additional hardware required)

The necessity for packages for supplementary services may re- sult in one or all three phases of the migration process:

•Phase 1: production of quotation

•Phase 2: data conversion

•Phase 3: commissioning on site

Since it is necessary to recognize the supplementary services packages early to permit high planning accuracy, the informa- tion required for the analysis (see checklist for migration) must be available early enough.
