1-2
You can develop, debug and document user programs for SIMATIC S5
and SIMATIC S7 programmable logic controllers with the PG 760
without the need for additional hardware or software.
The robust design and practical functions of the PG 760 make it
particularly suitable for office use. The PG 760 meets the specific
requirements of industrial environments such as noise immunity,
robustness, and simple startup.
The PG 760 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 S5 and S7 programmable
controllers.
The PG 760 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 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 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 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. 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.
