SIMATIC WinAC RTX F – Fail-safe S7 software controller
SIMATIC WinAC RTX F is the fail-safe SIMATIC software controller for PC-based automation and permits both standard and fail-safe control tasks to be performed on the PC.
Area of application
SIMATIC WinAC RTX F permits simple implementation of safety systems on PC-based solutions, and satisfies maximum safety requirements and compliance with relevant standards: EN 954-1 up to Cat. 4, IEC 62061 up to SIL 3, and EN ISO 13849-1 up to PL e.
The fail-safe software controller is particularly suitable for automation tasks in which, in addition to standard and fail-safe control functions, parallel data processing and the integration of the user’s own technological functions are to be implemented on one platform and the openness of Windows is to be exploited.
To ensure the high performance of the complete system the latest PC technologies such as Dual Core are supported, in which one core is used for Windows applications and the other core exclusively for SIMATIC WinAC RTX F. The integration of C/C++ programs into the WinAC RTX control program provides access to all hardware and software components of the PC, creating an extremely flexible solution. The performance of WinAC RTX F is limited only by the PC platform used.
Apart from the software-only controller, particularly rugged and ready-to-run embedded bundles are also available, preinstalled with SIMATIC WinAC RTX F and Windows XP Embedded or Windows Embedded Standard. Whether on the basis of a modular embedded controller, a DIN rail PC or a Panel PC, the application ultimately determines the choice of hardware to be used.
Standardized engineering and the easy portability of the user software between the different solutions also contribute to the overall security of investment and flexibility.To the top of the page
Benefits
With the new SIMATIC WinAC RTX F software controller, Siemens links its long-term competence in standard and safety engineering with the openness of a PC-based system.
With WinAC RTX F you can benefit from the advantages of SIMATIC Safety Integrated
System-wide integration of safety into the standard technology even in PC-based solutions: – One PC-based controller for both standard and fail-safe automation – Engineering in the familiar STEP 7 environment and with the Distributed Safety option package and choice of off-the-shelf blocks certified by the German Technical Inspectorate or blocks you have created yourself – Fail-safe communication via the globally field-proven PROFINET or PROFIBUS communication standards, with the PROFIsafe profile – Space-saving design thanks to the combination of fail-safe and standard I/Os in one station
Approval for the most stringent safety requirements, such as Cat. 4 of EN 954, SIL 3 of EN 62061 and PL e of EN ISO 13849-1, regardless of the hardware used
The safety function can be assessed quickly and conveniently using the Safety Evaluation. All safety-related data of the products is available through an integrated database.
as well as the advantages of WinAC RTX, the SIMATIC software controller
Performance of PC-typical applications and automation tasks on just one platform
Installation possible on all current x86 PCs
Ready-to-run embedded bundles, consisting of rugged, maintenance-free hardware and preinstalled, preconfigured software
Security of investment through the use of SIMATIC IPCs and embedded bundles with long-term availability
The high performance of WinAC RTX also enables high-speed control solutions to be implemented with minimal processor loading.
Utilization of the continuous innovation and performance improvement of PCs
Simple communication through integral network interfaces
Simple use of business software (e.g. Microsoft Office) and user’s own powerful software (e.g. C++, Visual Basic, Java, etc.)
Engineering As in the fail-safe SIMATIC controllers, the engineering is implemented with STEP 7 and the Distributed Safety option package. This means that existing know-how can continue to be used.
Platforms
SIMATIC WinAC RTX F executes on all x86 hardware platforms with Windows XP Professional and is optimally matched to SIMATIC Industrial PCs. Especially when used on embedded PC platforms, such as the SIMATIC IPC 427C, the SIMATIC HMI IPC 477C or the SIMATIC S7-mEC with Windows Embedded Standard 2009, economical and extremely rugged solutions can be achieved. WinAC RTX F uses the main memory of the PC and offers a program backup in the data medium (e.g. HDD, CompactFlash card, SSD). Non-cyclic data, such as production parameters or recipe data, can be stored permanently on the data medium (e.g. HDD, CompactFlash card, SSD) of the PC with the help of system functions (SFC 82 – 84). In addition, all data can be held retentively in conjunction with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Connection of the I/O
WinAC RTX F can control the distributed I/O not only via PROFIBUS, but also via PROFINET.
The I/O is connected via PROFIBUS DP at up to 12 Mbit/s via the integral DP interface of the SIMATIC IPCs or the embedded bundles. In addition, communications processors (CP 5611 A2/ 5613 A2) can also be used that support as many as four PROFIBUS lines with up to 500 slaves.
The connection to PROFINET is via Ethernet chipsets for PROFINET IO with RT:
Interface name
Chipset
Intel® Pro/1000 CT Gigabit Desktop
Intel®82574L
Intel® PRO/1000 PT dual port server adapter
Intel® 82571EB
or via a CP 1616 (PCI) or CP 1604 (PCI-104) communications processor.
The SIMATIC IPCs or the embedded bundles feature an optional integrated PROFINET interface, while it is standard for the S7-mEC RTX F.
In addition, WinAC RTX F also supports the system function isochronous mode. With isochronous mode, high-speed, time-dependent applications such as closed-loop controls can also be implemented with distributed I/O. This means that in addition to the control job other functions can be integrated into a PC or smaller, more economical PCs can be used for the same job. With the new version WinAC RTX 2010 further PROFINET functions are available e.g. shared device, media redundancy and webserver functionality.To the top of the page

A second timer is required for fail-safe communication. Most PCs already have such a timer.
Part of the SIMATIC process controller series, the S7-400 has been designed for system solutions in the fields of manufacturing and process automation. This process controller is ideal for data-intensive tasks that are especially typical for the process industry. High processing speeds and deterministic response times ensure short machine cycle times on high-speed machines in the manufacturing industry.
The most powerful Automation System within SIMATIC
Superb communication capability and integrated interfaces make the SIMATIC S7-400 process controller ideal for larger tasks such as the coordination of entire systems. The graded range of CPUs enables scalable performance and the capacity for I/O periphery is virtually unlimited. What’s more, process controller signal modules can be inserted and removed while the system is live (hot swapping), making it very easy to expand the system or replace modules.
Modular S7-410-Systems
The automation system AS 410 is the preferred system for new plants with SIMATIC PCS 7. Through the use of the innovative CPU 410-5H Process Automation the AS 410 covers the entire performance range of conventional SIMATIC S7-400 automation systems from AS 412 to AS 417. You can now adapt the performance of your controllers precisely to the task at hand at any time and without interruption – without having to allow for the usual safety reserves.
SIMATIC S7-1200 Basic Controllers are the ideal choice when it comes to flexibly and efficiently performing automation tasks in the lower to medium performance range. They feature a comprehensive range of technological functions and integrated IOs as well as an especially compact and space-saving design.Play VideoBasic Controller: Technology Integrated – Measuring length and speed with SIMATIC S7-1200Play VideoBe flexible – thanks to networking possibilitiesPlay VideoSimply well packaged – SIMATIC S7-1200 with integrated motion control functions.
