Configuration

General marginal conditions/limitations

The conversion of an AS 220 S/AS 230/AS 235 into an AS 488 S is carried out 1:1, i.e. the respective basic unit in the existing TELEPERM M cabinet (without I/O modules for AS 220 S and AS 235, or without extension unit EE1 for AS 230) is replaced by a migration rack with the AS 488 S with compatible functions. Expansions or extensions carried out simultaneously, as well as modifications and adaptations which do not belong to the stan- dard scope of the conversion services, e.g. the new wiring of I/O modules inserted in a basic unit GE, will be charged separately.

Existing TELEPERM M extension units EE (max. 7) or ES 100 K extension systems (max. 8) can be connected to the AS 488 S. In the case of mixed configurations of extension units and exten- sion systems, max. 8 (2 x 4) EE/ES 100 K are permissible per AS 488 S. The following assignments are possible per I/O bus:

Three extension units and one ES 100 K extension system

At least one extension unit and up to three ES 100 K extension systems

Up to 3 extension units in the basic cabinet, or up to four exten- sion units in the extension cabinet of an AS 230 or AS 235 sys- tem. The ribbon cable must be replaced when using 3 or

4 extension units for AS 230.

Ordering Data

The migration of existing automation systems using AS 488 S mi- gration packages is a complex process comprising a quotation and ordering phase with detailed clarification based on a check- list, the data conversion phase, delivery and commissioning on site, and the return of licensed components. The planning and coordination of such a migration requires intensive contact as well as exact arrangements and agreements between all in- volved parties.

The following information is basically required for ordering AS 488 S migration packages by DP system or fax:

Order No. and quantity of migration packages including de- tailed information on the migration rack (MIG I or MIG II) and on the CPU (CPU 486-3 with 75 MHz or CPU 488-3 with 120 MHz)

Type of AS 220, AS 230 or AS 235 automation system to be mi- grated in each case

Quantity and length of connecting cables 6DS8 215-8... re- quired for connection of the AS 488 S to a CS 275 local bus is- land. One conversion package is required per connecting cable

Dates for conversion and commissioning work on site

Quantity and language of AS 235 system software description and of supplementary system documentation for AS 488/TM.

Only those TELEPERM M/ME I/O modules listed in Catalog PLT 112 and published on the TELEPERM M site on the Internet (including any subordinate SIMATIC S5 I/Os from Catalog PLT 111) can be used in the extension units/systems. Please ob- serve the limitations!

Additional information is available in the Internet under:

http://pcs.khe.siemens.de/index.asp?Nr=2644

Two versions of the migration rack are available for conversion to AS 488 S. Migration rack II, Order No. 6DS2 410-0XX00- 4XX0, is equipped with 5 I/O module slots as an extension to mi- gration rack I, Order No. 6DS2 410-0XX00-2XX0, which has no I/O slots. When using the migration rack I, the I/O modules in- serted in the basic unit of the AS 220 S or in the AS 235 system must be converted into existing extension units/systems, or they are omitted. On the other hand, up to 5 I/O modules – with one or two I/O buses – can be operated in a migration rack II if the process signal cables are reconnected.

The AS 488 S migration rack is available in two CPU versions (75/120 MHz). Thus two performance levels are available.

The replaced basic units or the central components, i.e. the li- censed components of the automation system, must be returned to Siemens AG.
