1.2
Automation task
A 24 V power supply from the SITOP portfolio is to be implemented in a SIMATIC
PCS 7 system for the automation technology and the external peripherals. If
possible, the power supply must be designed on a failsafe basis. The system
operating personnel must be able to monitor the status of the 24V power supply on
the PCS 7-Operator Station.
1.3
Principle of operation
The 24 V power supply of the PCS 7 automation technology is implemented using
SITOP modular power supply units and the associated expansion modules or using
the SITOP PSU8600 power supply system.
The application example shows how to configure the hardware in the SIMATIC
Manager and to easily integrate it into the PCS 7 control system. Default blocks
from the PCS 7 Advanced Process Library and product-specific blocks are used for
the AS program.
You can download the library containing the pre-configured process tag types and
the product-specific blocks for SITOP UPS1600 and SITOP PSU8600 in the item
entitled
SITOP Library for SIMATIC PCS 7
The enclosed demo project gives you a comprehensive overview of configuration
and the way of functioning.
