SIMATIC CONTROLLER – Common strengths in detail
The seamless integration of SIMATIC controllers into the common TIA Portal engineering framework permits the integrated storage of data, the smart library concept, and a uniform operating philosophy. This makes the use of universal functions particularly easy.
Each controller can be set up and wired differently.
The SIMATIC controller portfolio offers modular, compact, and PC-based CPUs.
The integrated system diagnostics with efficient fault analysis and fast troubleshooting cuts commissioning times and minimizes downtimes in production.
Faults are uniformly indicated in the engineering on the HMI, in the webserver, and in the display of the SIMATIC S7-1500.
Fail-safe SIMATIC controllers offer the greatest possible level of integration: one controller, one communication system, and one engineering for both standard and fail-safe automation.
Technology functions for metering and measuring tasks, closed-loop control, and motion control are integrated into all SIMATIC controllers.
Technology CPUs are used for particularly demanding motion control tasks.
Intellectual property and the investment it represents are safeguarded by the integration of know-how protection, protection against copying and manipulation, and additional password protection for access to program contents.
Take Control of Communication with the SIMATIC S7-1200
The modular SIMATIC S7-1200 controller forms the core of the Siemens portfolio for basic but very precise automation tasks. The controller is modular and compact, versatile, a secure investment, and perfectly fits a wide variety of applications.
