Use of the system expansion card
The system expansion card (SEC) is inserted in a slot at the back of the CPU.
With the SEC, the CPU 410-5H is scaled according to the maximum number of loadable
process objects. More detailed information about the scaling concept can be found in the
section Scaling and licensing (scaling concept) (Page 32).
The CPU cannot be operated without the SEC.
SECs are available with the following number of POs:
●
0
You must store the required number of POs on this SEC before the first use.
●
100
●
500
●
1000
●
1600
●
2k+ (unlimited)
You can expand the number of POs without replacing the SEC. The procedure is described
in the
PCS 7 process control system, Service support and diagnostics (V8.1) manual.
