Hi niksss, I understand your confusion... A little background info: The CPU410 has been set on the market as scalable controller. The CPU has the power equal (or little more) to a CPU417, but you decide how much you will use. This is done by ordering AS PO, which will come with the SEC card. You will need to load this AS PO in the CPU. The AS PO are swappable between CPU's. The AS PO will determine how much power the CPU has. So when your project increases, you will need to increase the AS PO as well. Remember when using redundant AS410, the AS PO must be equal on both CPU's. In case of 500 AS PO, you need to order 2x 500. Now the AS RT PO: The AS RT PO is needed for all objects with OCM capability. The AS RT PO license must be installed on the Engineering Station. For example, when you have 500 AS RT PO, you can configure 500 OCM objects in your project. During a PLC download, the system checks how much AS RT PO is needed and books them from the license. When having 250 PO configured, the system will take 250 from the 500 license, resulting of +250. The AS RT PO must be bought once and you can upgrade them by ordering extra AS RT PO (100,500,1000 quantities). |

Hi niksss, I'm glad that I could help you! To answer your question: Yes, you need to upgrade the PO on the SEC card as well. You don't need 2000, only 1800 because this is configured in your project, but having PO extra saves the trouble of upgrading the PO on the CPU anytime soon. You can easily check what your project need by checking the PCS7 License Information which you can open by right clicking the multiproject in component view. |

Hi Raja, Thank you for the rating/feedback. In the case you describe, you only need to have 100 AS RT PO. The AS RT PO are stored on the Engineering system with quantity of 100. When you download a project with 100 configured PO, the license quantity is 0.
