CP 1243-1 PCC Siemens

Область применения



The application areas of the CP 1243-1 PCC can be found in the Plant Data Service programs:

Обзор



The CP 1243-1 PCC (Plant Cloud Connect) is a communication processor for the safe connection of the SIMATIC S7-1200 via the public infrastructure (Internet, DSL) to a Siemens Operation Center.

The connection to an Operation Center is made in the context of Siemens Plant Data Services, such as Energy, Asset or Process Data Analytics (http://www.industry.siemens.com/services/global/de/pds)

The CP reads the data provided for the services from the CPU and transmits it via a safe connection to the Operation Center. In order to obtain a prediction about the status of your plant, or your devices, the Operation Center collects and analyzes the plant information received in this way. By means of the integral firewall, the CP permits protected access to the S7-1200.

Дизайн



The CP 1243-1 offers all the advantages of the S7-1200 design:

  • Rugged, compact plastic enclosure
  • Easily accessible connection and diagnostics elements, protected by front flaps
  • Removable terminals
  • Simple mounting on the mounting rail of the S7-1200
  • No external power supply necessary
  • Ethernet interface with industrial retaining collar

The CP 1243-1 PCC is plugged into the left-hand system bus interface of the S7-1200.

The interface to the Siemens Operation Center is established by means of a secured connection.

Completely configurable application through "data point configuration"

Using the "data point configuration" feature in STEP 7 eliminates the need for any programming effort for the transfer of data to the Operation Center.

The data of the CPU relevant for the Plant Data Services is selected by means of user-friendly "item browsing" in STEP 7. In a clearly-arranged menu, the data transfer parameters are then assigned to the data points selected in this way. The cyclic or event-controller transfer of measurements, setpoints or alarms can thus be implemented in only a few operations and without programming effort.

Data backup

Data losses are prevented by the data buffering mechanisms integrated in the product.

In the event of a connection failure, up to 64,000 time-stamped values are buffered. When the connection returns, the buffered values are automatically transferred to the control center in the right order.

Diagnostics

The CP 1243-1 PCC offers comprehensive diagnostic options for a quick and informative analysis of the station status. Elementary diagnostic information about the connection to the Operation Center is signaled directly via LEDs at the CP.

Using STEP 7, comprehensive information can be retrieved, such as facts about the connection history, buffer status, and the transferred measured values.

Remote maintenance

For remote access from the control center to the substation, the CP provides a remote maintenance port in parallel with process operation. This ensures access for monitoring and program changes.

Stateful Inspection Firewall

By using a firewall, the S7-1200 can provide additional protection against unauthorized access and manipulation attempts. The firewall filters data packets and checks the communication connections in accordance with the filter list. Both incoming and outgoing communication can be filtered based on IP and MAC addresses.

Особенности



Using the Plant Data Services of Siemens, production and process data is captured, filtered and structured and thereby converted into a specific added value. The intelligent analysis of this data plays a crucial role in this process. As a global market leader in the field of industrial automation and drive technology, Siemens can draw on a unique fund of practical experience and on the profound industrial competence of its global network of experts.

Main focus of Plant Data Services:

  • Targeted data recording and meaningful analyses using Energy Analytics
  • Asset Analytics permits the condition monitoring of running systems
  • Integrated security solutions from Industrial Security Services

The use of the CP reduces the expenditure necessary to transmit the data securely to the Operation Center:

  • Fully automatic time stamp
    To enable subsequent and correct archiving of process data in the control system, all data frames are assigned with a time stamp at their place of origin.
  • Fast and flexible data communication
    The operating personnel is informed immediately by alarms, statuses and values from the process.
  • Simple and low-cost engineering
    The cyclic or event-controller transfer of measurements, setpoints or alarms can be implemented in only a few operations and without programming effort.
  • Remote diagnostics
    Saves traveling and maintenance costs due to cost-effective remote programming, diagnostics, control and monitoring via the Internet
  • Industrial Security
    Protection of automation networks and secure data exchange by means of the integrated firewall.

Дальнейшая информация



Technical requirements/compatibility

CPU: An S7-1200 CPU with firmware version 4.1 or higher is required for operation.

Engineering: STEP7 V13 SP1 is to be used for the configuration, if necessary with the Hardware Support Package.

Plant Data Services: The CP is to be used exclusively as part of a Siemens Plant Data Service application. No other cloud platforms are currently supported.
