Preface
Purpose of the Documentation
This documentation provides detailed information about the WinAC Slot software
and hardware that includes the CPU 412-2 PCI and the CPU 416-2 PCI. You install
the WinAC Slot software and documentation from the installation CD.
The CPU 412-2 PCI and the CPU 416-2 PCI are the programmable logic
controllers (PLCs) for the Windows Automation Center (WinAC). A CPU 41x-2 PCI
is a card that fits in a PC in a PCI slot for 3/4-length cards. The CPU 41x-2 PCI is
part of the WinAC family of PC-based controllers. You can also use SIMATIC
products with PC-based controllers, such as WinCC flexible.
The PC-based controllers use a PROFIBUS DP network to communicate with
distributed I/O, such as an ET 200M. In addition, you can use PG/OP
communication (PROFIBUS, MPI, or Industrial Ethernet) to connect the PC-based
controllers to STEP 7 or to another computer.
