Free graphic configuring

SIMATIC TDC is configured with the Windows-based graphical SIMATIC tools STEP 7, CFC and optionally SFC. The software package D7-SYS supplements the CFC engineering tool with the function blocks for SIMATIC TDC as well as the high-performance operating system.

GlobalDataMemory

For complex automation tasks, it may be necessary exchange data between CPUs in several racks. For this purpose, a GlobalDataMemory (GDM) can be used as a central memory for coupling a maximum of 44 racks.

Via this memory, data can be exchanged across racks between all CPUs in the system. This means that more than 800 CPUs can be used in a system.

GDM consists of a rack in which only GDM modules can be inserted. It can thus be operated in a special, particularly fast mode.

Service and commissioning

Service and commissioning are performed directly from the graphic configuration interface STEP 7 and CFC.

Programs of other processor modules

CFCs for the SIMADYN D modules PM5, PM6, for the FM 458-1 DP application module, or for the technology module T400 can be transferred very easily to the CPUs of the automation system SIMATIC TDC.
