Application and functions
1.5 Requirements for operation
Software for telecontrol communication and TeleService
The CP is configured in "Telecontrol" mode.
● For the telecontrol communication
The telecontrol server requires the "TCSB" (TeleControl Server V3) software in the
master station.
● For TeleService
For TeleService a switching station is required between the CP and the engineering
station (with STEP 7 in the version specified above).
This is either the telecontrol server or a TeleService gateway:
– When using telecontrol communication, the telecontrol server is the switching station.
– To use TeleService without a telecontrol server, the "TS Gateway" software is required
