Hi, Before you can use the new bought PO's on the SEC card, you must upgrade it online. There are a few steps you must follow: 1. Transfer the expansion PO's to the CPU (via ALM) and create a PO activation file 2. Send the PO activation file to Siemens through a Support Request 3. Within 48 hours, you will receive an email with a PO release file 4. Transfer the release file to the SEC card of the CPU using ALM See the following page about the CPU410. You can download the manual which describes the steps above. It starts at page 65 of the V9.0 manual. |

Hi, With the CPU410, you have the fastest and best CPU , however you can scale it according to your needs. The idea is that you don't have to replace the CPU for a better one, but buy AS PO which are stored on a SEC (System Expansion Card). If you have 500 PO in your project, you need 500 AS PO. Apart from AS PO, you have runtime PO which are stored on the ES and you need one PO for each object: An PO is a valve or motor or... that can be controlled in the OS or is a SFC or is an alarm block. These OS objects are booked to your CPU from the license on your ES. You have 100, so if you have 200 PO on the project, you need to buy 100 more. The AS PO are sufficient. |

Hi, you need 300 additional AS PO of number 2. Then you have 400 in total and after downloading, you have 400-339=61 left. It's advisable to order more AS PO because your program can grow rapidly.you also need OS PO and those should be equal to AS PO and you need to put those license on the PC station of the server. If you have a redundant OS server, you need 2x 1000 OS PO. If you have a redundant AS, you need to order 2x 400 AS PO. Those should always be equal |

Hi, I'm behind my laptop, so it's easier to explain rather the phone. But.... To use the CPU410, you need PO licenses which are stored on the SEC card and they determine the performance of your CPU. It's sort of scalable. You have the best CPU out there, but you need to pay to use full functionality in the form of PO's. PO's are stored on the SEC card, which can be expanded by buying additional PO. There is a specific procedure for this which I explained in my first post (Create release file, wait for activation file, upload to CPU through ALM manager). Additional, for every AS object in your program, you need AS runtime PO. You need to buy both licenses: PO (stored on SEC) and AS runtime PO. You have bought 1000 PO, which is sufficient for the 339 PO you have in your project. You have only 100 AS runtime PO, so you need to upgrade the AS runtime PO. The AS runtime PO are stored on your ES station and are booked to the CPU when downloading the program. These PO are depleted when downloading. If you have 400 PO, and 339 is configured, you have 61 PO left on your ES. 1 AS PO is determined as follows: - a SFC or - blocks with one of the following properties: 1. Instance that can be controlled or monitored (s7_m_c attribute) 2. Instance that can generate alarms 3. Instance not part of the driver library Beside the AS runtime PO, you need equivalent OS runtime PO for your OS server which works the same way as AS runtime PO. These are stored on the OS server (ALM) and are depleted as well. I hope it's a bit more clear?

No, you do not need double OS runtime PO when using single server, only in case of redundant server system. The same goes for the redundant CPU, if you have it, you need double the amount of AS runtime PO and also double the amount of PO (SEC). The amount must be the same. You cannot have a redundant CPU with 500 and 1000 PO. It is explained in detail in the PDF I enclosed. Good that it is clear. Good luck with your project!! |
