Operation of the CP 1242-7, CP 1243-1 and MD720 modem on the TeleControl Server Basic

• Connection of up to 5000 stations to one TeleControl Server Basic OPC (UA) server;
  by connecting several TeleControl Server Basic 5000 OPC (UA) servers to one OPC client, more than 5000 stations can be connected to a single control center
• Support for large projects:
  • Multi-project-capable: Several STEP 7 telecontrol projects can be organized in up to 2000 groups
  • Multi-user-capable engineering: Simultaneous configuring by several users is possible
  • Support for configuring similar S7 stations
  • Step-by-step commissioning of stations and station groups
  • Expansions during runtime without interrupting operation
  • Shared operation of stations that are connected via private (M2M contract) or public APNs, or directly via Ethernet/Internet
• Access to variables of the SIMATIC telecontrol stations via the OPC (UA) interface by means of WinCC or standard OPC (UA) clients for control systems
• Communication between telecontrol stations using the integral routing function via TeleControl Server Basic even with dynamic IP addresses
• Adjustable communication options:
  • Teleservice: STEP 7 diagnostics over the Internet;
    the mobile radio connection can be activated for teleservice either by the machine or plant operator, or via an authorized wake-up function by the programmer or maintenance technician (if this function has been enabled).
  • Permanent connection for cyclic or event-oriented transmission
  • Establishment of the mobile radio connection by the OPC (UA) client (automatic wake-up via text message) or by the SIMATIC controller as required
  • Configuration of monitoring time and time synchronization of SIMATIC stations
• The PC on which the TeleControl Server Basic software is installed must be permanently accessible via a fixed IP address over the Internet, using DSL, for example, or it must have a dedicated line direct to the mobile radio provider.
• Redundancy mode:
  • The TeleControl Server Basic can be operated redundantly in order to increase the availability of the automation data.
  • If both PCs are located in the same LAN no additional cabling is necessary for the synchronization of the redundant software packages.
  • Redundancy mode is possible under Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

Security

• Password authentication for establishment of connection by the SIMATIC station
• Optional double user authentication in the case of diagnostics via the Teleservice gateway function of TeleControl Server Basic and the CPs
• Secured data traffic between SIMATIC, the Internet and TeleControl Server Basic by means of encryption algorithms

Diagnostics

• Integrated diagnostic functions for
  • Group status signal of a project in a tree structure
  • Status of each station (mobile radio diagnostics information, PLC status)
  • Monitoring of temporary connections
  • "Wake-up" of stations that change from standby mode to online mode for diagnostics purposes
  • STEP 7 diagnostics of the SIMATIC stations via the CPs (with dynamic or fixed IP provider address) from any PC with Internet access. The connection between the SIMATIC station and the STEP 7 PC to the TeleControl Server Basic is established here. The connection between STEP 7 and the SIMATIC station is established automatically via the Teleservice gateway function.
  • Establishment of the connection between the SIMATIC controller and TeleControl Server Basic can also be optionally initiated via cell phone (authenticated).

Operation of TeleControl Server Basic together with TeleControl Professional

TeleControl Server Basic and TeleControl Professional operate with different protocols during data transmission. It is possible to combine a TeleControl Server Basic system with a TeleControl Professional system in a single SCADA system. This is carried out in the PC of the control center via the OPC (UA) server of TeleControl Server Basic.
