Migration Tool Simatic® PCS 7/505 (V 6. x + V 7. x) migration to Simatic® PCS 7 Open OS (V 8. x)
Why is this migration needed? • Customer using Simatic® 505 or CTI 2500 Series® PLCs are still using Simatic® PCS 7/505 (V 6. x or V 7. x) supervision system and APT® programming tool. But Siemens® stopped supporting these systems. • Siemens® TF driver (needed for communication with H 1 adapter) is not supported by Siemens for newer Windows® version. • As a result, customers are not able to upgrade to PCS 7 V 8 or higher (including Windows® 7 or server 2008/2012). • Some customers are even using older TISTAR or PCS OSx SCADA systems, these customers too are not able to upgrade. • Manually redesigning a new SCADA system from scratch is costly and risky.
How does it work ? • APT tags are translated to Kepware® OPC server • APT object types (Valves, Motors, PID…) are created as DBA object types for PCS 7 Open OS Engineering • Old Graphics are automatically converted to PCS 7 Open OS
What are the benefits ? • Possibility to merge with existing PCS 7 V 8. x system (no extra h/w) • Ethernet TCP/IP is the preferred long term network solution • OPC is a proven communication protocol • No need to redesign your graphics (time consuming) with our graphic converter (error free and ‘minute’ conversion) • No need to rewrite your PLC programs • No need to recommission the whole system • No need to shutdown your plants for weeks • Limited training: operators control from identical graphics • Limited training: maintenance of similar and compatible PLC’s, programming language and SCADA system • Worldwide support of ENGIE® Services and NAPA International
