S7-1200

SIMATIC S7-1200 is the new modular micro PLC in the SIMATIC S7 programmable controller family and comprises:

·         Controllers with integral PROFINET interface for communication between programming device, HMI or other SIMATIC controllers

·         Signal Boards for direct insertion into a controller

·         Signal Modules for expansion of the controller with input and output channels

·         Communication Modules for expansion of the controller with comunication interfaces

·         Accessories, such as Power Supplies, Switch Modules or SIMATIC Memory Cards

With its compact modular design and high performance, the SIMATIC S7-1200 is suitable for a multitude of automation applications, while being very cost effective. Its extensive instruction set enables the SIMATIC S7-1200 to solve small to medium-sized automation applications.

The perfect match of SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC with the new SIMATIC HMI Basic Panels ensures particularly efficient and easy development and commissioning of automation tasks.

SIMATIC STEP 7 Basic is the new engineering system for SIMATIC S7-1200 with intuitive handling features and includes SIMATIC WinCC Basic for configuration of the HMI Basic Panels.

Product information

SIMATIC S7-1200 Controller
First release (CPU 1211C / CPU 1212C / CPU 1214C) offers many features and functions which will help our customers to create effective automation solutions for their applications. The list below is a summary of the salient features of SIMATIC S7-1200:

·         Integral Ethernet interface

·         Integral power supply either as wide-range AC or as DC supply (85 to 264 V AC or 24 V DC)

·         Integral digital outputs either 24V DC or relay

·         Integral 24V DC digital inputs (P-reading (sink) / M-reading (source) (IEC type 1 P-reading))

·         Integral analog inputs 0-10V

·         Pulse Train Output (PTO) with a frequency of up to 100 kHz

·         Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) outputs with a frequency of up to 100 kHz

·         High-speed counters (HSC) with a frequency of up to 100 kHz

·         Modularity and scalability by connection of additional communication modules, e.g RS 485 or RS232

·         Modularity and scalability by expansion with analogue or digital signals directly on the CPU via Signal Board (while maintaining the CPU footprint)

·         Modularity and scalability with a multitude of analogue and digital input and output signals with Signal Modules (not CPU 1211C)

·         Optional memory expansion (SIMATIC Memory Card)

·         Motion Control to PLCopen for simple motion control

·         PID controller with auto-tune functionality

·         Integral real-time clock

·         Password protection

·         Time interrupts

·         Alarm inputs

·         Library functionality

·         Online / offline diagnosis

·         Removable terminals on all modules

With its many integral functions the SIMATIC S7-1200 is the innovative follow-up product for the established SIMATIC S7-200.

S7-1200 Signal Boards

A Signal Board provides cost-effective expansion for any SIMATIC S7-1200 controller, while maintaining the footprint:

·         Single-channel Signal Board analogue output

·         Combined DI / DO Signal Board with two digital inputs and two digital outputs

S7-1200 Signal Modules

SIMATIC S7-1200 can be modularly expanded with additional digital and analogues signal modules in a central configuration. This enables a flexible and space-saving adaptation to any application.

S7-1200 Communication Modules

Additionally, each SIMATIC S7-1200 controller can be expanded with up to 3 different communication modules. In addition to the integral Ethernet interface this results in a wide variety of connection options, e.g. application specific protocols, such as USS or Modbus.
