Upgrade Teleperm XP S5 to S7 (SPPA T2000)
Easy replacement of SIMATIC S5 HW
An upgrade of a redundant Automation Processor from SIMATIC S5 to the proven SIMATIC S7 with FUM I/Os can be easily achieved with Release 8.1 of SPPA-T2000. The main difference between SIMATIC S5 and SIMATIC S7 based Automation Processors is the bus which runs to the FUM-racks. With SIMATIC S5 the so called “Parallelbus” was used for the communication to the FUM-racks and has been changed now to the worldwide standardized PROFIBUS with the introduction of SIMATIC S7. To support the communication by PROFIBUS a new interface module, the IM616, is available for the FUM racks and replaces the IM614 there.
To upgrade the hardware of an Automation Processor the old SIMATIC S5 rack has to be removed and to be replaced by the SIMATIC S7-400H rack with the CPU417H, the Parallelbus to the FUM racks has to be substituted with PROFIBUS and the IM614s in the FUM-racks have to be replaced by the new interface module IM616. An upgrade kit for standard cabinets will be available shortly to ease up the swap out of the hardware. Release 8.1 of SPPA-T2000 includes all current FUM modules such as FUM210, FUM230, FUM232, FUM280, FUM 511 and FUM531.
Please note that Release 8.1 supports both the SIMATIC S5 and the SIMATIC S7 based Automation processors on the same plant bus making partial upgrades or even extensions possible.
Minimal Engineering effort
The necessary changes on the engineering side are minimal. The function charts (FUP) themselves are not affected by a straight swap out since the same function block library is available for the S7 based Automation Processors. However the topology charts needs to get adapted to reflect the new SIMATIC S7 components.
Enhancements to OM650
With the integration of SIMATIC S7 to SPPA-T2000 a new powerful protocol was launched on the plantbus for the communication among the SIMATIC S7 based Automation Processors. This requires a dedicated Processing Unit (PU) to enable the communication with the SIMATIC S7 based Automations Processors. An Upgrade to Release 8.1 of SPPA-T2000 comprises always an upgrade of the OM system including PU, SU and OT.
New powerful ES680 and DS670
With Release 8.1 the Engineering System (ES680) has been completely innovated to support the SIMATIC S7 based Automation Processors. This affects the DS670 as well since the DS670 runs now together with the ES680 on the new SUN Solaris platform.
