SIMATIC PCS 7/90 OS Runtime Component Option V9.0

Using the SIMATIC PCS 7/90 OS Runtime Component Option, a SIMATIC PCS 7 Operator Station of single station version or server variant configured in accordance with the ST PCS 7 catalog can be expanded with specific SIMATIC PCS 7/90 OS software for operation and monitoring of Bailey controllers (PCUs). One SIMATIC PCS 7/90 OS Runtime component add-on is required for each SIMATIC PCS 7/90 OS single station or SIMATIC PCS 7/90 OS server. Two are required for each redundant SIMATIC PCS 7/90 OS single station or SIMATIC PCS 7/90 OS server pair.

SIMATIC PCS 7/90 OS clients are based exclusively on the SIMATIC PCS 7 OS software client.

Suitable basic hardware for a SIMATIC PCS 7 operator station as a single station, server or client version can be found in the section "Industrial Workstation/IPC" of the ST PCS 7 catalog.

Ordering information for the SIMATIC PCS 7 OS software and for accumulative SIMATIC PCS 7 OS runtime software licenses for expanding the runtime PO volume can be found in the "Operator System" section of the ST PCS 7 catalog.

Note on COM interfaces of redundant single stations or servers

Note that each of the following functions use a COM port in each station with redundant SIMATIC PCS 7/90 OS servers or SIMATIC PCS 7/90 OS single stations:

• Optimization of the internal communication via RS 232 connection between the two redundant stations
• RS 232 connection of the Bailey Plant Loop/INFI-NET per Computer Interface Unit (CIU).

If the basic hardware of the redundant stations does not include two COM ports, you have the following alternatives:

• Use of an additive interface expansion card
• Optimization of the internal redundancy communication via a separate Ethernet connection instead of the serial RS 232 connection (for details, see the SIMATIC PCS 7 manual "High-availability process control systems")

The following upgrade packages are available for upgrading a SIMATIC PCS 7/90 OS operator station:

• SIMATIC PCS 7/90 OS Runtime Upgrade Package V8.x to V9.0
  for upgrading a SIMATIC PCS 7/90 OS single station, a SIMATIC PCS 7/90 OS server or a redundant pair of SIMATIC PCS 7/90 OS servers
• SIMATIC PCS 7 OS Client/SFC Visualization Upgrade Package V8.x to V9.0 for upgrading a SIMATC PCS 7/90 OS client (see ST PCS 7 catalog, section "Update/Upgrade Packages").
