S = Step 5="version". So S7 is the new version of Step5. Now you could combine ProcesControlSystemStep7 to PCSS7.......looks a bit like PVSS. I hope some day we get a PCS9...sounds nice . But then again it's my idea on it and you never know what's the real reason . Nice question!!! p.s. Why the name Sunn7 ?
