Also connecting IQ to box pc is not as simple , you need to use or profibus or profinet. Eric

Hello Viral, I will Suggest to use Simatic PLC. But what is your application? viralpatel we can configure redundant/fault tolerancesystem with WinAC also i don't understand this This is an information or question???

S7-mec rtx is equivalent in most applications, the S7-400 as the structural profinet with the S7-300. This - plus. But it is impossible redundancy, to establish the functional modules FM. there are restrictions on communications processors - is a minus. These basic limitations in the application. if they do not matter. It is possible to choose

I don't think a PC based solution can be as robust as a PLC. But if you want to grab some field data and create reports, databases etc, then WinAC may be an appropriate solution.
