SIMATIC Route Control software for RC single station, RC server, and RC client

¹⁾ Number of simultaneous material transports; at least one "SIMATIC Route Control Routes" license (for sets of 10/50) is required per project, total project limit: 300 routes

• Software product/license required
o Software product/license optional
– Software product/license not required or not available

The Route Control Software is structured such that SIMATIC Route Control can be flexibly adapted to different plant sizes and architectures (single/multi-user systems):

• Route Control Engineering (component of the SIMATIC PCS 7 Engineering System)
• Route Control Server
• Route Control Center (RCC)

SIMATIC Route Control works closely with the operator system, hence where small plants are concerned it is possible for the Route Control Center and Route Control Server to be installed not only on their own but also together with the OS software on a single station. The ordering data for the OS software can be found in the section "Operator system".

In the case of multi-user systems with small quantity frameworks it is also possible to operate the Route Control Server, Batch Server and OS Server on shared basic hardware. However, availability will be higher and performance better if they are installed on separate server hardware.

The Route Control Center (RCC) can be installed on an OS client, a batch client, or on separate RC client hardware.

In addition to the SIMATIC Route Control Server and SIMATIC Route Control Center runtime software, for a Route Control project you require separately available SIMATIC Route Control Routes (cumulative sets of 10 and 50 for the number of simultaneous material transports). Several sets of 10 and 50 SIMATIC Route Control Routes licenses can be combined up to a total project limit of 300 routes.
