Overview
Standard AS 410S automation system
The AS 410S modular standard automation systems are suitable
for general use. These are always your first choice if high avail-
ability through redundancy and safety-related functions are not
relevant for the application.
In the range from 100 to approx. 2 600 PO, their performance
can be customized to meet the task at hand using expansion
cards (for more information, see the previous section of the
catalog "Modular S7-400 systems").
An AS 410S is also the base system for a fault-tolerant
(AS 410H) or a safety-related automation system (AS 410F,
AS 410FH). Your decision for the AS 410S is therefore not final,
you can remain flexible. If the task changes, the automation
system can be used differently at any time and the target system
can be expanded accordingly.

Design
Individual configuration of AS bundles
The equipment of the standard automation systems as well as
their article numbers can be individually compiled by selecting
pre-configured ordering units.
Typical combinations can be selected from tables in the section
"Ordering data". The complete range is available to you via the
SIMATIC PCS 7 AS 410 Single Station online configurator in the
Industry Mall (
www.siemens.com/industrymall
).
I/O connection via PROFIBUS DP
Several PROFIBUS DP segments with distributed process I/Os
can be operated on one standard automation system.
A PROFIBUS DP interface is already integrated in the
CPU 410-5H Process Automation. Using the configurator in
the Industry Mall or in the selection and ordering data, up to
four more PROFIBUS DP interfaces can be configured via
additional CP 443-5 PROFIBUS DP interfaces (conformal
coating).
I/O connection via PROFINET IO
Standard automation systems AS 410S can only be connected
to remote I/O stations, for example, ET 200M remote I/O stations
via the PROFINET interface (2-port switch) integrated in
CPU 410-5H Process Automation (see also chapter "Communi-
cations", section "PROFINET").
The availability of the I/O devices can be increased by a ring
topology with media redundancy (MRP). If the transmission link
in the ring is interrupted at a given location, for example, due to
a break in the ring cable or the failure of a station, the redun-
dancy manager, e.g. the CPU, immediately activates the alterna-
tive communication path.
Example for PROFINET IO communication with media redundancy
Industrial Ethernet (IE) plant bus communication
If the PROFINET interface integrated in the CPU is not used for
PROFINET IO, it can also be used for the connection to the
Industrial Ethernet plant bus. Otherwise, the AS 410S standard
automation system can be connected to the Industrial Ethernet
plant bus via a CP 443-1 (conformal coating) communication
module. The availability of the plant bus communication can be
increased with a second communication module.
Redundant power supply
If you have two separate power supply networks for your plant,
you can increase the availability of the AS 410S standard auto-
mation systems by using two redundant power supplies.
Runtime licenses
With a SIMATIC PCS 7 Industry Library Runtime license and a
SIMATIC PCS 7 AS Runtime license, the AS bundle is equipped
for 100 process objects (PO). The number of process objects
can be extended by additional Runtime licenses for 100, 1 000
or 10 000 POs. The process objects of additional Runtime
licenses can be added to process objects which already exist.
The number and type (e.g. 100 or 1 000) of additional Runtime
licenses are irrelevant with regard to the implementable quantity
framework.
