Dear Sirs,

I would like to ask your help in the configuration of a small SCADA system, mostly regarding the licences/CPs needed.

We have 4 x CPU 1214C with 4 x SIMATIC WinCC Runtime Advanced 512 (6AV2104-0DA04-0AA0).

The 4 CPUs will be further more connected to a main SCADA PC (SIMATIC IPC627D 6AG4131-2AA10-0BX0) having SIMATIC WINCC RT PROFESSIONAL, 2048 (6AV2105-0FA04-0AA0) licence.

1. On the SCADA PC we are planning to use the integrated Ethernet interfaces to connect to the CPUs. Do we need additional licences or CPs for this? (ex: cp1612, or SIMATIC NET licences)

2. On the 4 local RT Advanced systems we are planing to use the integrated network cards found in the existing non industrial PCs. Do we need additional licences or CPs for this? (ex: SIMATIC NET licences)

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your help.

Regarding the issue on the maximum number of connection, i found that CPU 1214C can handle 16 dynamic connections (3 would be from RT Professional and 2 from RT Advanced). I attach a cutout from the datasheet. If you could confirm me that this is the connection limit you were talking about, i would be grateful.

Have a nice day.
