SIMATIC Microbox 427B-RTX and 427B-HMI/RTX
|
The Microbox 427B is a turnkey rail-mounting PC with
excellent industrial compatibility (IP20 degree of protection)
that is available in two versions:
- Microbox 427B-RTX for control tasks
- Microbox 427B-HMI/RTX for control- and visualisation tasks
|
 |
SIMATIC Microbox 427B-RTX or 427B-HMI/RTX are the obvious
choice when the automation solution has to meet the
following requirements::
- Compact use without operator input
- Use with detached screen, e.g. SIMATIC Flat Panels
- Machine-level installation
- Use of customer-specific hard- and software
- Integration of different tasks (control, technology, data
processing) on one hardware
The specific software packages are already
installed and pre-configured:
- Software-PLC WinAC RTX on Microbox 427B-RTX
- Software-PLC WinAC RTX and HMI-Software WinCC flexible 2007 RT on
Microbox 427B-HMI/RTX
The Software PLC WinAC RTX 2005 SP2 handles the
actual control task and execution of the user program. WinCC flexible 2007 Runtime allows machine-level visualization
of up to 2048 process variables including archives and recipes. Up to 128 KB of retentive data is stored on an integral, nonvolatile
memory without an uninterruptible power supply
(UPS). Full retentivity of all process values can be achieved
with a commercially available UPS.
The integral OPC server allows open access to all process
values. Any visualization or data processing systems can be
connected to WinAC RTX via this interface. C/C++ programs
can be integrated into the PLC cycle via ODK – under real-time
conditions as well.
The Software PLC is programmed with STEP 7 via the integral
Industrial Ethernet or PROFIBUS interface. The SOFTNET-S7
Lean communications package is installed for this purpose. Three status LEDs for RUN, STOP and group faults indicate the
operating status of WinAC RTX.
