Product overview

The PSB modules are conceived for an EMS that is equipped with the EMS400S plant
controller. Operating in combination with an S7-1200 CPU, the PSB modules act as a plant
segment controller and carrier controller.
Communication in the EMS is handled by the "PSB-S modules" and "PSB-C modules".
These modules set up the connection for communication between the stationary and mobile
sections of the unit. The PSB-S module is assigned to the stationary system section. The
PSB-C module is part of the carrier controller and, therefore, the mobile part of the EMS.
The PSB modules are technology modules of the SIMATIC S7-1200 product series.
A PSB-S module supports communication with the EMS carriers. Up to three independent
plant segments of an EMS can be connected to one PSB-S module. The PSB-S module is
designed for communication with up to 30 PSB-C modules per plant segment.
The PSB-S modules in combination with a CPU form the EMS400S plant segment controller.
The EMS400S carrier controller consists of a CPU and a PSB-C module.
