Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be
used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property
damage.

Purpose of this documentation
This documentation provides information regarding SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX. It explains the areas
of application, components, installation options and commissioning.
Industrial PC for small plants
A SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX is an industrial PC for small plants. It can encompass the functions of
a PCS 7 process control system (engineering, automation, operator control and monitoring)
when used in conjunction with distributed I/O. Due to the capability of integrating an automation
system, there are two versions of the SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX PC:

WinAC RTX
What is WinAC RTX?
WinAC RTX is a software package for a PC-based automation system. This software package
contains the Windows Logic Controller RTX (software PLC WinLC RTX).
Connection of I/O
WinAC RTX can control distributed I/O both via PROFIBUS and via PROFINET .
By means of an integrated data record gateway, WinAC RTX 2010 (V4.6) enables direct
access to field devices that are connected via a communication processor at the fieldbus.
The isochronous mode system function is supported. This feature enables you to realize fast,
time-dependent applications, for example, closed loop controls, with distributed I/O.
PCS 7 Advanced Process Library with WinAC RTX
The following setting is required for all relevant block types (see Additional information) when
using the "PCS 7 Advanced Process Library (APL)":
For each block instance of one of these block types used in the application, bit number 22
should be preset with "1" at the "Feature" I/O.
