WinAC Realtime is a PC based automation product from Siemens. It runs on the real-time extension system provided by VenturComo for Windows NT 4.0. The WinAC Realtime control task can be independent of the Windows_NT operating system. When the NT system fails, WinAC Realtime can continue to run or choose to shut down safely. WinAC Realtime uses Step_7 for configuration and programming, and also supports S7_Charts (flow chart) programming, making it easier to use Siemens PC-based control. WinAC Realtime connects field I/O via Profibus DP, with a maximum communication speed of 12M. WinAC Realtime optimizes the Profibus_DP driver to ensure system determinism in high-speed control tasks.
The WinAC RTX is a PC‑based automation solution that runs on Windows NT 4.0 with a real‑time extension, providing precise and fast control tasks. It integrates computing functions, ActiveX controls for VB/VC/Excel, OPC server capabilities, and can be configured with Step_7 or S7 Charts.
Key features include independent real‑time control, high‑speed Profibus DP communication up to 12 Mbit/s, and open architecture for integration with motion, video, or other applications.
