System Configuration For The 'Color_Gs' Project - Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 SMART Getting Started

Initial work for the project
5.1 Planning the project
5.1.3

System configuration for the 'color_gs' project

Structure
The color_gs project will be implemented on a minimum system consisting of a single
automation system with a combined engineering station and operator station. The operator
station is designed as a single station system. The following figure illustrates the system
configuration.
Description
In Getting Started, you will build a control system which contains the following components:
● Automation system (AS):
The individual components are described in the section "Requirements for performing the
Getting Started".
● Program, which controls the "color_gs" plant:
You create this program in the ES and download it to the CPU. The CPU executes the
loaded program and displays the process values.
● Operator station (OS):
The plant operator controls and monitors the plant during runtime. You can create the
process picture seen by the plant operator on the OS.
Note
Plant configuration and hardware settings that result from it need to be especially adapted
to the requirements of this Getting Started.
When you configure a real project, you will use more automation systems and also operate
the engineering station and operator station(s) on several computers. In this case, the
hardware settings will be more complex. This will no longer correspond to the Getting
Started descriptions.
