With the rugged all-round AS 410 system, the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system offers an exclusive automation system from the SIMATIC S7-400 series, which can be used in all domains due to its versatility. Depending on the requirements, you can configure it as a:

• Standard AS 410S automation system
• High availability AS 410H automation system
• Safety-related AS 410F/FH automation system

With its high-performance hardware and optimized firmware, the innovative CPU 410?5H Process Automation of the AS 410 covers the entire spectrum of conventional AS 412 to AS 417 automation systems. Its automation performance can be scaled with system expansion cards based on the number of SIMATIC PCS 7 process objects (POs) as follows:

• 100 POs
• 500 POs
• 1 000 POs
• 1 600 POs
• ? 2 000 POs (PO 2k+)

The CPU performance defined by the system expansion card can be increased with CPU 410 Expansion Packs for 100 and 500 POs. The type reduction to a single CPU offers numerous advantages. It significantly simplifies selection and configuration of the automation system as well as spare part inventory and plant expansion.
