Introduction to the CPU 410
2.1 Area of application of the CPU 410 in SIMATIC PCS 7
SIMATIC PCS 7 and CPU 410-5H Process Automation
SIMATIC PCS 7 uses selected standard hardware and software components from the TIA
building block system for the process control system in the company-wide automation
network called Totally Integrated Automation. It offers an open basis for automation solutions
with its consistent data management, communication and configuration.
You can use SIMATIC PCS 7 to create customized and project-specific solutions tailored to
specific requirements. Further information about these customized solutions can be found in
the configuration manuals.
The CPU 410-5H Process Automation is a controller of the latest generation. This controller
is specifically designed for the SIMATIC PCS 7 control system. As with previous controllers
of the SIMATIC PCS 7 system, the CPU 410-5H Process Automation can be used in all
Process Automation industries. Highly flexible scalability based on SIMATIC PCS 7 process
objects makes it possible to cover the entire performance range from the smallest to the
largest controller in standard, fault-tolerant and fail-safe applications with just one hardware.
You must create a new configuration for use of a CPU 410-5H. The parameters of a CPU
410-5H are set to SIMATIC PCS 7 default values when a new configuration is created. Some
parameters that were previously freely assignable cannot be changed in the CPU 410-5H.
You can apply charts from existing SIMATIC PCS 7 projects.
The SIMATIC PCS 7 project
A SIMATIC PCS 7 project includes the following objects:
● Hardware configuration
● Blocks
● CFCs and SFCs
These objects are always present - regardless of the number of operator stations and
modules and their networking.
SIMATIC PCS 7 applications
You create a SIMATIC PCS 7 project on an engineering station (ES for short). A variety of
applications are available on the ES:
● SIMATIC Manager - the central application of SIMATIC PCS 7. From here, you can open
all other applications in which you need to make settings for the SIMATIC PCS 7 project.
You will set up your entire project from SIMATIC Manager.
● HW Config – configuration of all hardware of a system, e.g., CPUs, power supply,
communications processors.
● CFC editor and SFC editor - creation of continuous function charts (CFC) and sequential
control systems.
● SIMATIC PCS 7 OS in conjunction with various editors - Implementation of OS
configuration
Every application has a graphic user interface for easy operation and clear representation of
your configuration data.
