Product Announcement:
SIMATIC S7 - modular Embedded Controller
(S7-mEC RTX)
SIMATIC S7-mEC RTX is a modular controller in S7-300 design
with the latest embedded PC technology.
This embedded
controller combines the advantages of the tried and tested
modular S7 controller with PC technology in one new device. |
 |
SIMATIC S7-mEC RTX stands out due to:
-
Maximum ruggedness without fan or hard disk
-
Modularity and scalability, e.g. central expansion with
S7-300 I/O
-
Commissioning as for S7-300 by automation specialists
In addition S7-mEC RTX offers:
-
Standard Windows XP embedded PC operating system and
standard PC interfaces
-
Latest embedded PC technology
-
Openness in software and hardware (integration of standard
Windows XP applications and standard PCI 104 cards)
The modular embedded controller is particularly suitable for
applications in which both control and data processing are of
major importance.
The most important applications of the
S7-mEC RTX are in special and series machine building, which
apart from the control task also integrate additional automation
tasks, e.g. HMI, on one hardware platform. This means
that centralized expandability with the standard SIMATIC I/O is
still possible. In addition, the performance and openness of
current PC technology can be fully exploited.
In addition to Windows XP Embedded, S7-mEC RTX has an integrated
controller execution level system. Programming and
diagnostics – as with all other SIMATIC controllers – are performed
with STEP 7. The I/O bus interface enables signal modules
(SM) and interface modules (IM) to be operated.
Operator control and monitoring can be performed with installed
HMI Runtime on a SIMATIC Thin Client which has access
to S7-mEC RTX data by means of standard TCP/IP mechanisms.
Distances of 100 m or more can be spanned without
difficulty. For machine-level visualization, WinCC flexible Runtime must
be installed on S7-mEC RTX.
