3.1 Basics for operation the SIMATIC S7-1500 Software
Controller on a IPC
In order to be able to operate a software controller on an IPC, the IPC has to have
a computing unit with at least two computer cores. This is down to the fact that one
computer is only used for the SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller and the other
one for the Windows operating system.
In addition, a separate partition has to be created for the controller on the hard
drive. It has to be made sure that the DiagBase program is suitable to the software
controller version. This ensures the correct functionality of the S7-1500S. What
version is required for what controller can be found in the appropriate manual.
Information on installation and handling of software controllers on IPCs can be
found in the entries with entry ID
The Profinet port X1 is used for the communication in the network by the IPC after
installing the controller and X2. The project is loaded via port X2. When the IPC
starts, the operating system and the software controller are started up in parallel.

Basics SITOP PSU8600 power supply

To start off with, the SITOP PSU8600 consists of the basic device. It is available
with one or four outputs. If the number of outputs of the basic device is not enough,
up to four additional expansion modules CNX8600 can be connected. The number
of outputs is increased by four each.
In order to be able to maintain the power supply for as long as possible in the event
of a power failure/breakdown, and to ensure a data backup, up to two buffer mod-
ules BUF8600 can be connected. They differ in their buffer capacity and thus their
construction width. The specification is based on the time during which the buffer
module can maintain the power supply with a load current of 40 A and a supply
voltage of 24 V.
The different modules can be arranged individually next to each other on a DIN rail.
The supply and communication is through the System Clip Link which is located on
the top of the main module. The input voltage of the basic device is 400 V.
Material damage/soiling
NOTICE
The sockets on the top carry a voltage of up to max. 60 V and therefore should
be provided with the protective covers included. This prevents material damages
and unnecessary soiling.
