The PCS 7/APACS+ OS software offered for migration of APACS+ operator systems is tailored to the architecture of the SIMATIC PCS 7 operator system. It supports both single station systems as well as multi-user systems in client-server architecture.

Data from different systems can be displayed in one process image on the OS clients of a multiuser system, both from APACS/QUADLOG controllers on the M bus and from the SIMATIC PCS 7 automation systems on the Industrial Ethernet. The multi-client architecture of the operator systems enables a client to retrieve data from different servers.

With smaller client-server systems it is possible to use a PCS 7/APACS+ OS server with dual-channel functionality. This implements the communication with the APACS/QUADLOG controllers and the SIMATIC PCS 7 automation systems via two separate communication channels.

Notes:

The PCS 7/APACS+ OS V8.2 runtime software is based on the SIMATIC PCS 7 operator system V8.2.
