Notes on the use of other basic hardware and non-SIMATIC software

Siemens guarantees the compatibility of hardware and software for system configurations based on components in this catalog.

The system test confirms that the system software of the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system can be run on the SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstations offered in this catalog. Despite comprehensive tests, it cannot be excluded that the function of a SIMATIC PCS 7 system could be disturbed or inter- fered with as a result of additional non-SIMATIC software, i.e. software which has not been explicitly approved for SIMATIC PCS 7.

If you use hardware other than the basic hardware offered in this catalog, or additional non-SIMATIC software, this is at your own risk. If compatibility problems arise as a result of these hard- ware/

software components, the support provided for elimination thereof is not free of charge.

The licenses for plant bus communication via Industrial Ethernet, i.e. for Basic Communication Ethernet (BCE) and CP 1613 com- munication are bound to the SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Worksta- tions. Depending on the selected type of communication, the SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstations for single stations and servers are delivered either with a BCE license or CP 1613 li- cense. If you are not using SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.0 on SIMATIC PCS 7 Industrial Workstations, you additionally require a SIMATIC PCS 7 BCE V7.0 license (Order No. 6ES7 650-1CD07- 2YB5) for all single stations or servers which are connected to the plant bus via a standard network card and not via a CP 1613.
