Introduction to CPU 410-5H

2.1

Scope of application of PCS 7

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 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. The very flexible scalability based on 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 only one hardware.
The CPU 410-5H can be used with PCS 7 V8.1 or higher.
To use a CPU410-5H you must create a new configuration. The parameters of a CPU 410-
5H are set to 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
transfer charts from existing PCS 7 projects.
The PCS 7 project
Among the objects of a PCS 7 project are the following:
● Hardware configuration
● Blocks
● CFCs and SFCs
These objects are always present - regardless of the number of operator stations and
modules and their networking.
