Hello Mike; PCS 7 is an integrated hardware and software package, but as far as deployment it can be setup in many ways. For the small projects, you can have a single PC used as a PLC and SCADA programmer. Generally, for a medium to large project, you would set it us as a multiproject, which means that different computers will be used for different parts of the project: the ES (engineering station) will use one (or more) computer for the programming of the PLCs logic; the OS (operating stations) will often be distributed in a server/client constellation (multiserver/multiclient applications are common in large plants). You can have dedicated alarm servers, maintenance PCs... as you need them. Have a look at the link I proposed in the earlier thread so you can have more details: https://eb.automation.siemens.com/goos/catalog/Pages/ProductData.aspx?catalogRegion=WW&language=en&nodeid=5309999&tree=CatalogTree®ionUrl=%2f#activetab=product Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
