Siemens: SIMATIC Basic Controllers (S7-1200 Series)
Always the right Controller: for plant or machine building, for production or process technology, for stand-alone or highly complex applications. Siemens offers the perfect control solution for every application - PLC or PC-based.
The range of SIMATIC Controllers starts from logic modules to Basic, Advanced and Distributed Controllers all the way to Software Controllers.
SIMATIC controllers from Siemens – The intelligent choice for your automation task
SIMATIC controllers from Siemens provide you with controllers for cost-effective automation solutions on all performance levels – with consistent functionality and standardized interfaces, perfectly optimized for applications with requirements ranging from simple to complex.
In addition to best performance, the new controller generation provides the advantage of scalability and functional consistency thanks to the uniform engineering in the TIA Portal and best-in-class solutions in terms of security and safety.
SIMATIC Controller System Overview
SIMATIC controllers offer the intelligent choice for your automation task
Every machine or plant has individual requirements for system performance and application complexity. With its extensive range of controllers, Siemens offers the perfect control solution for each application.
The Basic Controllers S7-1200 for simple and stand-alone applications, the Advanced Controllers
S7-1500 for medium and complex applications, the Distributed Controllers ET 200SP for decentralized applications and the Software Controller S7-1500 for PC-based applications.
All Basic, Advanced and Distributed Controllers are also available as fail-safe versions for implementation of fail-safe applications.
SIMATIC Controllers and their Advantages
SIMATIC controllers are convincing due to their user-friendliness, scalability and functional consistency. The selection provides the optimum controller for each application.
User programs for SIMATIC controllers are largely identical in design and handling. Once written, they can be easily implemented–from small to large and vice versa.
Thanks to the consistent engineering in the TIA Portal, the wide-ranging software and hardware functions can efficiently solve any automation task.
Basic Controller SIMATIC S7-1200 delivers convincing results thanks to his comprehensive range of technological functions and integrated IOs, as well as featuring a compact, space-saving design.
The Basic Controllers are the intelligent choice for everyday automation task within the scope of small und stand-alone Projects. Basic Controllers are projected and programmed within Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Portal. For more complex tasks, SIMATIC
S7-1500 Advanced Controllers seamlessly continue the functionality of the SIMATIC
S7-1200 series, so you could benefit from maximum engineering efficiency.
SIMATIC S7-1200: Easily adapted to suit your needs
Automation solutions must be compact, scalable and flexible. S7-1200 CPUs are available as standard and failsafe versions. They are scalable in terms of their performance and are equipped with integrated IOs, integrated PROFINET interface for programming, HMI connections, distributed IOs and distributed drive architectures. The S7-1200 can be optimally adapted to your individual requirements by means of pluggable signal modules and communication modules.
