Redundant Process Data Transfer with the SIMATIC PN/PN Coupler, driver library and SIMATIC PCS 7

In this application example you will learn how the process redundant data exchange via two separate SIMATIC PN/PN couplers (each with S2 redundancy). There are big advantages by using the driver library “PCS 7 PN/PN PN/MF Coupler Software”. As the library uses the driver concept of PCS 7 APL and supports the function “Generation module drivers”, the effort and risk involved in project planning, engineering, and commissioning is significantly reduced.

This application example describes the following use cases:

Integration of two PN/PN couplers with S2 redundancy

Data exchange via driver library “PCS 7 PN/PN PN/MF Coupler Software” (9LA1110-6CG20-0AA0)
Configuration of the symbol table
Templates for data transmission of analog and digital data sets
Test environment of the test setup

Benefits of implementing a AS-AS communication as in this application example:

Reduction of effort and risk in project planning and commissioning through the generation of drivers by the Driver Wizard
Galvanic isolation of networks
Fast PROFINET communication via the process image
Advantages when loading hardware of redundant PCS 7 systems
