Station Synchronization
Operator station and
maintenance station
PCS 7 internal synchronization
The time master can be on one of the following networks:
● On the terminal bus
● On the plant bus
BATCH station In the case of installation without OS, no synchronization via PCS 7.
You have the following options for synchronization, for example:
● Synchronization via DCF77-client
● Synchronization via the domain controller as the time master on the
terminal bus
Route Control station
SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX PCS 7 internal synchronization is possible. The method used depends
on the product variant (Page 35) (operator station or AS)
