SIMATIC WinAC RTX is the SIMATIC software controller for PC-based automation solutions and permits real-time capable, deterministic control functions to be carried out on the PC.
Range of application
SIMATIC WinAC RTX is particularly suitable for automation tasks where, in addition to control functions, it is necessary to solve true real-time, a high data volume, and fast technological functions on a PC platform. The optimized runtime system supports the processing of extensive and demanding PC applications in parallel with the control task.
In order to optimize the capacity utilization, state-of-the-art technologies such as Multi Core are used – for example one core for Windows applications and one for the SIMATIC WinAC RTX.
Optimum access to PLC runtime data like image processing, data logging, etc. is carried out by means of the WinAC option Open Development Kit (ODK). ODK applications are beeing programmed in a standard high-level language. The integration is done by means of one of the interfaces
Custom Code eXtension (CCX) calls high-level language routines from the WinAC control program
Shared Memory eXtension (SMX) exchanges data fast between WinAC and the Windows application
Controller Management Integration (CMI) provides the WinAC control panel functions for own PC applications
The performance of SIMATIC WinAC RTX can be scaled across the processor performance. Applications range from machine-level control tasks with rugged embedded PCs to high-end applications on PCs with newest processor technology (e.g. SIMATIC IPC).To the top of the page
Benefits
Multi-discipline through solving PC-typical applications (business software like e.g. MS Office and own, proprietary user programs in C++, VB, etc.) and automation tasks in just one system
Openness through installation on standard PC hardware platforms
SIMATIC Embedded bundles: Robust turnkey products, with preinstalled Windows operating systems and SIMATIC WinAC RTX
Investment security through the use of long-term available Industrial PCs while utilizing the continuous PC innovations and performance advancements at the same time
Simple communication through low-cost, integrated network interfaces
Reduced training effort through Engineering in the familiar SIMATIC STEP 7 environment
SIMATIC STEP 7 is the one engineering software for all, the modular SIMATIC controllers S7-300/S7-400 and the software controller WinAC.
Platforms SIMATIC WinAC RTX runs on standard PCs with MS Windows XP and embedded operating systems and is optimally matched to SIMATIC industrial PCs. Use on embedded PC platforms, such as the SIMATIC IPC 427C or the SIMATIC HMI IPC 477C, results in especially affordable and extremely robust solutions. SIMATIC WinAC RTX uses the main memory of the PCs and offers program backup on the hard disk/flash drive. Non-cyclic data, such as production parameters or recipe data, can be stored permanently on the memory of the PC with the help of system functions. In addition, all data can be held retentively in conjunction with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Connection of the I/O SIMATIC WinAC RTX 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 via communication processors (CP 5611 A2/5613 A2). You can operate up to four PROFIBUS lines with up to 500 slaves. In addition it is possible to connect the I/O via PROFINET. This requires either the integrated Ethernet interface of the SIMATIC IPC or a communication processor CP 1616 (PCI) or CP 1604 (PCI-104). Furthermore WinAC RTX 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.

Operator control and monitoring via SIMATIC interface
Industrial PCs are becoming more important in the field of automation. Typical PC applications range from human machine interfacing to data processing. Frequently, these tasks do not need the full PC computing performance. So why not utilize currently unused resources by turning your industrial PC into a PC-based controller? A compatible PLC software empowers any industrial PC to perform as a PC-based controller – also as a fail-safe controller. Siemens offers a comprehensive range of solutions for this
PLC Software from Siemens
When using a PC based controller, users rely on the ruggedness and open architecture of industrial PCs, coupled with the powerful SIMATIC WinAC software PLC. A SIMATIC S7 is integrated into the industrial PC as a software PLC and the PC-based controller is configured and programmed with STEP 7 in exactly the same way as a normal S7 controller. All the automation components are integrated into a single industrial PC, resulting in a complete and cost-effective solution. SIMATIC WinAC RTX F is the first failsafe software PLC with TUEV Certification.
Distributed Controller based on SIMATIC ET 200 pro
Control next to the machine in IP65/67
Via interface modules the ET 200 pro is connected to the bus system, either the proven fieldbus PROFIBUS or PROFINET the leading Industrial Ethernet Standard. ET 200pro Interface Modules are offered with CPU functionality in standard or failsafe variants.
SIMATIC ET200pro CPU 1516pro
The
ET 200pro distributed I/O system is being expanded with CPU 1516pro-2
PN and CPU 1516pro F-2 PN. The new CPUs are based on the S7-1500 CPU
1516-3 PN/DP and offer two PROFINET IO communication interfaces.
The
CPUs 1516pro-2 PN Standard and Fail-safe have a PROFINET IO interface
with three PROFINET ports. The three ports have the same properties. In
addition, you can implement a ring redundancy (MRP or MRPD) with ports 1
and 2. Ports 1 and 2 with M12 cable gland, as known from the IM154-8
PN/DP CPUs, are connected to the CPU by means of a connection module.
Port 3 is a RJ45 socket that is permanently integrated into the CPU
enclosure behind a porthole.
The 1516pro-2 PN and 1516pro F-2 PN
CPUs support PROFINET IRT through this PN interface and thus permit
short, predictable response times, even faster, deterministic data
exchange with IO devices and a high immunity to interference from
non-real-time data communication.
Highlights
Configuration limits & functionality same as S7-1500 CPU 1516-3 PN/DP
Firmware Version V2.0
Station width up to 1m or up to 16 modules
Support of all currently available ET 200pro IO modules
Two PROFINET IO interfaces – X1 with 3 port switch (2 x M12, 1 x RJ45) PROFINET RT and IRT / IO Controller for up to 256 IO-Devices / I-device – X2 with1 Port (1 x M12) PROFINET RT / IO controller for up to 32 IO devices / I-device
Shared device for up to 4 controllers
Media redundancy with MRP and MRPD
Open Ethernet communication (TCP/IP, UDP, ISO-on-TCP)
OPC UA server (data access)

You’ll achieve the highest productivity and product quality in your production process by using SIMATIC S7-1500 with its fast backplane bus, PROFINET performance, shortest reaction times, and a command processing time of up to 1 ns in the CPU.
Therefore the PROFINET interface with deterministic time behavior provides reproducibility and precision in the μs timeframe.
