1 Product Overview
1.1 Introduction to PC-Based Automation
The WinAC (Windows Automation Center) PC-based controllers are operated
within a standard PC and provide the same functionality as SIMATIC S7 CPUs
(hardware controllers). The controllers include
• WinLC Basis
• WinLC RTX
• WinAC Slot
WinAC Slot is a PCI slot card that is used in a PC.
The CPU 41x-2 PCI supports multiple networks and connects to distributed I/O
and/or Industrial Ethernet stations over the PROFIBUS DP or MPI interface or
Industrial Ethernet cards that you have installed in your computer.
As part of the SIMATIC family of products, die CPU 41x-2 PCI can also
communicate with STEP 7 or other SIMATIC products, such as WinCC, WinCC
flexible, ProTool Pro or other SIMATIC S7 controllers, including any of the PC-
based controllers, over PROFIBUS, MPI or Industrial Ethernet networks.
You can use the same programming languages, program structure and
programming user interface (STEP 7) as for hardware PLCs to develop your
process control solution. Programs designed for S7 controllers can run on
PC-based controllers and vice versa. The PC-based controllers also contain a
controller panel that runs on the PC. With these functions, you can use the
CPU 41x-2 PCI in a typical factory automation configuration.

Overview
The WinAC Slot 41x package includes the following components:
• WinAC controller - CPU 412-2 PCI or CPU 416-2 PCI slot PLC, two CPUs from
the S7-400 product line for PC-based applications.
• Controller panel, which represents the operating controls and displays of the
CPU 41x-2 PCI on a screen.
• WinAC Time Synchronization for synchronization of the CPU 41x-2 PCI using
a SIMATIC NET CP (Industrial Ethernet or PROFIBUS) or the PC-internal
clock.
• SIMATIC NET OPC Server on the provided SIMATIC NET CD.
CPU 41x-2 PCI (WinAC Controller)
You use the CPU 41x-2 PCI to control your process. It provides an effective
hardware solution for your automation projects. The I/O are connected via
PROFIBUS DP.
Controller Panel
The CPU is operated with a controller panel that is displayed on the PC screen.
The panel is based on the front panel of an S7-CPU and provides the
corresponding functionality.
You can also use the controller panel to read out the content of the diagnostic
buffer.
A password can be used to restrict access to the controller from the controller
panel so that only authorized personnel can change the settings.

Hardware Installation and Operating Manual, Edition 02/2006, A5E00273194-02 15
Time Synchronization (WinAC Time Synchronization)
WinAC Time Synchronization enables the real-time clock of the WinAC controller
(e.g., WinLC RTX or CPU 41x-2 PCI) to be synchronized to a central time-of-day
source. Synchronization to the following is possible:
• Central real-time transmitter via a PC communications processor (e.g.,
CP 5613 or CP 1613)
• PC-internal clock
WinAC Time Synchronization is implemented as a Windows service. The service is
started automatically when the computer is booted. Time synchronization starts if
the service was not stopped before the computer was turned off. The update
period is fixed at 10 s.
Separate documentation is available for WinAC Time Synchronization. Refer to the
online help for WinAC Time Synchronization.
Programming
The WinAC controller is configured and programmed the same as SIMATIC S7
with STEP 7. The LAD, FBD, STL, S7-SCL programming languages and all
graphical programming languages such as S7-GRAPH, S7-HiGRAPH, and CFC
can be used.
Programming can be done locally on the same PC as well as remotely via
networks or the integrated PROFIBUS interfaces.
Access to Process Data
Process data are accessed via the SIMATIC NET OPC Server. You can install this
server from the provided SIMATIC NET CD.
Interface to Display
The SIMATIC WinCC/WinCC flexible HMI system and the ProTool Pro visualization
software can be linked via an optimized interface.

Communication
If you want to perform communication via Industrial Ethernet or a PROFIBUS
subnet, a communication module (CP) must be installed in your PC.
The options for communicating with other nodes are:
• Connection to PROFIBUS DP via the integrated interface
• Connection to MPI or PROFIBUS DP via the second integrated interface
• Connection to PC via the PCI interface
• Connection to another network such as Industrial Ethernet/PROFIBUS via a
communications processor (CP)
Technology on the PC
WinAC Slot is equipped with a shared memory interface on the PCI bus. This
enables very fast data exchange between a PC application and WinAC Slot.
Development of this PC application is supported through WinAC ODK 4.1.
Multi Slot
You can operate up to four CPUs 41x-2 PCI in one PC or up to three
CPUs 41x-2 PCI together with WinAC Basis V4.1 and higher or WinAC RTX V4.1
and higher.
Each of the CPUs works autonomously, i.e., operating states are not coordinated
and the CPUs do not have any common I/O or data areas. Thus, multi-slot mode is
not the same as "multicomputing" in the S7-400.
Components
The following components are available for setting up and commissioning WinAC
Slot:

1.3 Introduction to the Controller Panel
The controller panel corresponds to the faceplate of the SIMATIC S7 CPUs.
The controller panel is a display
window on your PC that contains
the following elements for working
with the controller:
• Two operating mode selector
switch positions for changing
the operating mode of the
controller
(similar to the mode selector
switch on an S7 CPU front
panel.)
• Status indicators for the
controller
• MRES switch for resetting the
CPU
• Menus for controller
operations
Opening or closing the controller panel does not influence the state of the
controller. The status of the operator switches and the LEDs are stored in the
controller.
