Differences from other Step 7-programmable controls ® Saia-Burgess has implemented all the CPU operating system functionality as firmware components. We do not use any “miracle chips”. We are therefore dependent on nobody, but our customers gain the advantage of rapid change/ enhancement to the operating system.
Saia-Burgess Controls AG Introduction Documentation For applications that go beyond this, please contact us at: pcdsupport@saia-burgess.com 1.2.2 CPU comparison The instruction set and component addressing for the PCD1.M137 are comparable with the Siemens CPU 412. With the PCD2.M127/M157/M177/M487 controls, the instruction set is roughly equivalent to the Siemens CPU 414.
