■Function

WinAC Slot 416 V4.0

Through use of the WinAC Slot 416 V4.0, it is possible for the au- tomation program in the Slot CPU to execute completely auton- omously from the SIMATIC Box PC and its Windows operating system. Therefore the system can be restarted even if the SIMATIC Box PC is switched off or faulty. 24 V DC from a sepa- rate source is connected to the Slot CPU to provide a power sup- ply independent of the PC. Neither software faults on the PC side, nor a power loss, nor rebooting of the PC have an effect on execution of the automation program in the Slot CPU.

If one of the following events occurs, the automation program is immediately informed and can thus react accordingly, e.g. by in- termediate storage of production data and transfer of the system to a defined status:

•Shutting-down of the Windows operating system

•Fault in the Windows operating system ("blue screen")

•Failure of PC-internal communication

•Switching-off of the PC (Separate 24 V DC supply required)

With the SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX 416, the process I/O is connected via the two PROFIBUS DP ports of the WinAC Slot 416 V4.0. In conjunction with SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.0, the WinAC Slot 416 V4.0 also permits changes to the configuration during operation (CiR). The type and scope of online modifications depend on the process I/O used.

Since SIMATIC PDM can only access field devices on the PROFIBUS DP via the onboard CP 5611 communications pro- cessor, an additional link is required between the DP port and the CP 5611. The plug required belongs to the scope of delivery of the SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX 416.

Use with SIMATIC BATCH

SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX 416 systems can also be used for automa- tion of batch processes with SIMATIC BATCH. The capacity of SIMATIC BATCH is limited to 10 UNITs (instances of plant units) in this case. The following SIMATIC BATCH option packages can be executed on the SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX in addition to the SI- MATIC BATCH Server Basic Package for up to 10 UNITs:

•Batch Control Center

•Recipe System

•Batch Planning

•Hierarchical Recipe

•ROP Library

•Separation Procedures/Formulas

Use with SIMATIC Route Control

SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX 416 systems are not only suitable for auto- mation of batch processes with SIMATIC BATCH, but also for control of material transports with SIMATIC Route Control. The capacity of SIMATIC Route Control is limited to 30 simultaneous material transports in this case. The SIMATIC Route Control Server and SIMATIC Route Control Center runtime software is then executed on the SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX 416. The Route Con- trol Engineering is also possible on a SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX 416 all-in-one system.
