PCS 7/OPEN OS Engineering Component Option V9.0

The Database Automation (DBA) tool set is the basis for OS engineering using the SIMATIC PCS 7 engineering system which is installed with the PCS 7/OPEN OS engineering component option on the SIMATIC PCS 7 engineering station. This allows OS objects to be created for the controller quickly and easily in SIMATIC PCS 7 design. Manual inputs are required for organization of the project, the creation of static display elements, archive definition, user management, and customized adaptations.

The PCS 7/OPEN OS engineering component option contains engineering software and licenses for the integration of various different controller types/package units in the process control of the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system.

This can be used to expand SIMATIC PCS 7 engineering stations configured in accordance with Catalog ST PCS 7 (unlimited POs) to PCS 7/OPEN OS engineering stations.

Appropriate basic hardware for an exclusive PCS 7 Engineering Station (unlimited POs) can be found in the section "Industrial Workstation/IPC" of Catalog ST PCS 7.

Ordering data for the SIMATIC PCS 7 Engineering Software and for further SIMATIC PCS 7 software components can be found in the "Engineering system" chapter, "ES software" section of Catalog ST PCS 7.
