With SIMATIC PCS 7 TeleControl, the outstations can be integrated into SIMATIC PCS 7 so that the operator notices no difference between central or remote automation with regard to the operating philosophy and alarm response.

The OS clients of the client/server multi-user system are able to display data from RTUs and SIMATIC PCS 7 automation systems (AS) - which they receive from a server with dual-channel functionality or from two separate servers - together in one process image. Display is primarily on faceplates for process objects such as motors, valves etc., but also by means of trend curves and messages.

If the PCS 7 TeleControl OS server is of redundant design, the redundant pair of PCS 7 TeleControl OS servers matches all internally generated information, e.g. alarm states and results of calculations.

The communication mode between the control center and RTU depends on the type of WAN, the configuration of the telecontrol communication, and the support by the telecontrol protocol.
