Product Overview
Advantages of the
Compared with a standard PC, the PG 760 PII programming device of the
PG 760 PII SIMATIC family has numerous advantages:
1-2
You can develop, debug and document user programs for SIMATIC S5
and SIMATIC S7 programmable logic controllers with the PG 760 PII
without the need for specific additional hardware or software.
The robust design and practical functions of the PG 760 PII make it
particularly suitable for office use. The PG 760 PII meets the specific
requirements of industrial environments such as noise immunity,
robustness, and simple startup.
The PG 760 PII has all the SIMATIC interfaces necessary for a desktop
device. These are:
– Programming interface for SIMATIC S5 and SIMATIC S7 memory
cards in credit card format.
– TTY interface (max. 1000 m) as COM1
– Floating MPI/DP interface for connection to S7 programmable
controllers. The new MPI/DP is connected to the PCI bus and is
compatible with the CP5611. Thus it is much more efficient than
before.
The PG 760 PII is supplied with all the necessary system and
programming software already installed on the hard disk in compressed
format.
Since WINDOWS 95 is already installed, you can use the PG 760 PII as a
stand-alone PC workstation, and run all the standard software available on
the market that requires MS-DOS or Windows 95.
The PG 760 PII is fitted as standard with a CD-ROM drive, thus
permitting easy updating of STEP 5 and STEP 7 software and of
WINDOWS 95.
The drive is operated via the second IDE interface (secondary IDE).
The programming device has plenty of room for further hardware
expansion, particularly when it comes to adding on extra disk drives.
Thus the PG 760 PII can be used both as a complete personal computer
and an efficient network server.
6 ISA slots and 2 PCI slots are available for expansions. A
high-performance graphics card is inserted in the third PCI slot. The front
panel contains a 5 1/4" slot; a second 3,5" hard disk drive can be
retrofitted. A further drive can also be connected to each IDE interface on
the basic module.
Thus the device can be customized to meet your individual workplace
needs and become a maximum performance computer.
