SIMATIC Modular PLC'S
Chapter - 11
SIMATIC modular PLC'S are optimized for control tasks and can be adapted to meet application requirements by adding modules for Power, Input/Output (I/O), Communications, and Special functions.
Siemens products in this category are listed as follows and shown in accompanying figure.
SIMATIC S7-300
SIMATIC S7-400
SIMATIC S7-1200
SIMATIC S7-1500
SIMATIC ET 200 with integrated CPU
Each of these PLC models is available in a variety of configurations and with many options.
SIMATIC S7-300 PLC'S
SIMATIC S7-300 PLC'S have a space-saving modular design. S7- 300 CPU'S are available in
Standard
Compact (C)
Standard S7-300 CPU'S range from the CPU 312 designed for entry- level applications to CPU 319-3 PN/ DP designed for the highest performance range.
Some standard CPU'S, like CPU 315-2 PN/DP shown in the accompanying graphic, have integrated PROFINET and PROFIBUS DP ports. S7-300 Compact CPU'S, shown here, have on board I/O and technology functions.
The specific technology functions included depend on the CPU model, but high-speed counting and pulse generation are examples of functions included in all models.
S7-300 Failsafe CPU'S are used in applications where it is essential to guarantee the functional safety of machines or plants.
They satisfy maximum safety requirements and comply with the relevant international standards.
S7-300 Technology CPU'S have built-in features for motion control applications.
- S7-400 PLC'S have high processing speeds and are especially suitable for data-intensive tasks such as coordinating overall plants and controlling lower-level systems. S7- 400 CPU'S are available in
Standard
Failsafe (F) and
- Standard S7-400 CPU'S range from CPU 412-1 in the medium performance range to CPU 417-4, which is designed for the high performance range.
- As shown in the accompanying graphic, S7- 400 CPU'S install in a rack along with other modules.
- S7-400 Failsafe CPU'S, including CPU 416F-3 shown in the accompanying graphic, are used in applications where it is essential to guarantee the functional safety of machines or plants.
- S7-400 High-availability CPU'S incorporate early fault detection features and diagnostic capabilities and CPU redundancy that minimize the probability of system failures.
- In the event of a CPU failure, the redundant CPU takes over the process.
