Siemens PCS 7, Руководство по установке

Страница: 42 / 156

Advantages and disadvantages
● Advantage:
Cost reduction can only be achieved in cabling overhead because otherwise the connection
of the communication nodes in the network is no different from the recommended
configuration with separate system bus and terminal bus.
● Disadvantage:
A shared bus is at a disadvantage with regard to access and error security. For example,
a targeted attack or a device error not only disturbs communication between OS servers
and OS operating stations at the terminal bus end, but also the communication on the
system bus and ultimately will lead to failure of the entire automation. These security-related
aspects need to be compared and weighed against the corresponding requirements in the
respective project.

3.9.2 Connection to the terminal bus/plant bus
Connection of OS, BATCH, Route Control and ES
You connect operator stations, BATCH stations, route control stations and engineering stations
to Industrial Ethernet using PCS 7 communication modules. The communication modules
occupy a slot in the PC or programming device (PG). You use different communication modules
depending on your requirements.
Additional information
You can find an overview of the communication modules available in the section " Components
for connection to the terminal bus/plant bus (Page 48) ".
