Use of the SIMATIC S7-1200 as a low-cost, modular RTU with SINAUT ST7 telecontrol protocol in new systems
Investment protection through use in existing ST7 systems
Flexible options for connecting to IP-based networks or classic WAN networks
Selection of the WAN network type via TS modules that are plugged in to the left of the CP
High availability of the connections due to possible redundant design of the communication paths (parallel operation of Ethernet and the second WAN interface via TS modules)
Fully automatic time stamp: To enable subsequent and correct archiving of process data in the control system, all data frames are assigned a time stamp at their place of origin.
Alarms: Operating personnel informed immediately of alarms, statuses and values from the process via e-mail or SMS.
Simple and economical engineering: Cyclic or event-controlled transfer of measurements, setpoints or alarms can thus be implemented in only a few operations and without programming effort.
Remote diagnostics: Saving of traveling and maintenance costs due to economical remote maintenance, diagnostics, control and monitoring via the Internet
Industrial Security: Protection against data manipulation and third-party access through IT security functions such as firewall (Stateful Inspection) and secure connections (VPN with IPSec).
