Hello winarko; Yes it is true that the PCS 7 system is built around S7-400 automationn systems. Have a look at the introduction on PCS 7 automation hardware from the Siemens Industry Mall: https://eb.automation.siemens.com/goos/catalog/Pages/ProductData.aspx?language=en&nodeid=10023491&tree=CatalogTree®ionUrl=/#topAnch&activetab=product& Why? Memory size, processing speed, availability of fault-tolerant (fully redundant) systems, and everything else that makes the S7-400 family the high-end of Siemens automation equipment. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |

Hi, S7 300 are not suitable for PCS 7 in general. S7 300 are not supporting the systemblock ALARM_8P (and others) wich is used in the most PCS 7 libriarys. There are possibilitys to use S7 300 CPUs, but you have to use special libriarys. The is a application example wich is showing exactly what you are looking for. http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/50708061 |

He want to have PCS 7 without a 400 CPU. It is right, that the Industry Library contains 3 Libraries: - a panel library for WinCC flexible - a Library for 300 CPUs (for engineering, you need CFC engineering) - a Library for 400 CPUs The Library for 300 CPUs is running in 300 CPUs and also in 400 CPUs @Silent Bob: Is it possible to use PCS 7 without 400 CPUs? I think, with the IL it is possible, but I am not 100% sure. |

You can use PCS 7 Box, or PCS 7 mEC. |

Hello Roman Thanx, you are right. I forget, that the PCS 7 box and PCS 7 mEC are also released with PCS 7. Ok, both has the PCS 7 name inside (it is not to overlook ) |
