The PCS 7 agent receives messages from the process control system SIMATIC PCS7<\/a> and directs you to the Alarm Control Center<\/a> The agent enables you to respond to messages quickly and flexibly.<\/p>\n

It supports two modes: Configuration of the messages via the SIMATIC Manager<\/strong> and the Using the ACC Control for PCS 7 and WinCC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

Configuration of the message via the SIMATIC Manager<\/span><\/h3>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/span>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

In this mode, the PCS 7 agent directly uses the SIMATIC Manager and the messages configured in it.<\/p>\n

The configuration of which user text blocks the message text should consist of is freely selectable. Only an additional text block in the SIMATIC Manager is required to define the alarm group, i.e., the recipient group. Once this is done, the agent can react to alarms from PCS 7, compile the message text from various user text blocks, and send the message to the previously defined alarm group. Of course, the agent for PCS 7 can also be used to Email Alert<\/a>, one push message<\/a> or a SMS alert<\/a> to be executed.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>

The agent in use with the ACC Control for PCS 7<\/span><\/h3>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/span>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

The ACC Control enables the alarms to be configured quickly and conveniently directly in the graphics runtime.<\/p>\n

By integrating the ACC Control into the Graphics Runtime, the familiar system image is combined with the functionality of the ACC Control.<\/p>\n

Changes or adjustments in the SIMATIC Manager are superfluous thanks to the integration of the functionality of the Alarm Control Center in your system image. The employees in the control room can react comfortably and flexibly to certain system states and avoid unnecessary alarms.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/span>

Configure alarms directly and search for specific messages: A flexible search and filter function offers greater clarity. The search and filter function specifically searches all messages configured in PCS 7 and simplifies alarm configuration. For example, the messages of a subunit can be filtered, and with just a few clicks, all these messages can be assigned an alarm group from the existing alarm groups.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>
