How can I connect PCS 7 controllers and Triconex PLCs? I need reliable communication with redundancy and response time under 1sec. Eventually I would like to see Sequnece of events in my PCS 7 Operator station.

 

I suggest you implement OPC alarm & events from matrikon which they had connectivity software between Triconex PLC and DCS like Yokogawa CS3000. I guess PCS should support OPC via Ethernet to external devices. You can implement redudancy with Matrikon server for Alarm/Events too. Check it out with your local Matrikon distributor which they would very much like to assist you.

Triconex offers an Embedded OPC module....meaning there is no need for an external Bill Gates PC running an OPC server.

 

Here is a gateway for PCS 7 and Triconex. It works for S7 as well.
