Configuration Of The Network Connections - Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 Configuration Manual

Configuration of the network connections

Introduction
Once the stations have been arranged and configured, the connections between the ES/OS
server and the automation systems, as well as those between the automation systems
themselves, are configured and downloaded to the individual stations.
The CPs of the relevant stations must be connected to the plant bus for these connections to
be loaded. The ISO protocol is used for process communication.
The OS clients are also connected to the terminal bus like the OS servers. The terminal bus
is not configured in PCS 7 as it is already configured in full via the Windows control panel.
Example
For this example, the network configuration is as follows:
● 2 AS
● 1 ES
● 1 redundant OS server pair
● 4 OS clients
