Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 Series CPU — The Basic Controller – All in
one!
The new modular SIMATIC S7-1200 controller is at the core of our
new offering for simple but highly precise automation tasks. The
SIMATIC S7-1200 controller is modular and compact, versatile, a
secure investment, and is perfectly suited to a whole range of
applications. The S7-1200 CPUs with Safety Integrated handle both
standard and safety-related tasks. A compact design with integrated
IO, communication interfaces that meet the highest industry
requirements and a range of powerful integrated technological
functions make this controller an integral part of a comprehensive
automation solution.
SIMATIC S7-1200 Basic Controllers are the ideal choice when it
comes to performing automation tasks in the low to mid-performance
range with maximum flexibility and efficiency. They deliver
convincing results thanks to their comprehensive range of
technological functions and integrated I/Os, as well as their
compact, space-saving design. Thanks to standardized remote control
protocols, you can connect SIMATIC S7-1200 controllers directly to
your control center without any programming effort.Scalable performance and functionality for consistent and efficient
engineering: the SIMATIC S7-1500 devices seamlessly continue the
functionality of the SIMATIC S7-1200 controllers. This makes
subsequent expansions easier and more cost-effective.
Features:- Complex wiring of the safety function (for feedback and possible
functional dependencies)
- Fault diagnosis only possible by means of onboard LEDs and not on a
central HMI panel
- Reduced effort required for wiring:
- All information (e.g. signal states and diagnoses) is already
available in the system
- Efficient fault diagnosis centrally on an HMI panel
- Compact construction with integrated I/Os and flexibility due to
the board concept
- Security thanks to protected access to the CPU and program copy
protection
- Incorporated functions and flexible connection of drives
- System diagnostics indicate error messages in plaintext in the TIA
Portal on the HMI or web server
- Efficient engineering With SIMATIC STEP 7 Basic in the TIA Portal
- Fail-safe CPUs for the execution of standard and safety-related
programs
- Flexible integration into all network structures PROFINET,
PROFIBUS, AS-i, IO-Link, CANopen or even connection to remote
control centers
- Use in extreme ambient conditions as SIPLUS S7-1200 version
- Early detection of mechanical damage
S7-1200 Version Features: - The compact SIMATIC S7-1200 system consists of different CPU
performance classes:
- CPU 1211C, CPU 1212C, CPU 1214C, CPU 1215C and CPU 1217C
- The Failsafe versions: CPU 1212FC, CPU 1214FC and CPU 1215FC
- Each of these may be expanded according to the machine requirements
- The S7-1200 CPUs can be expanded with up to three communication
modules (CM) and eight signal modules (SM)
- Signal modules and signal boards can be integrated in order to
expand the digital or analog IOs without affecting the physical
size of the controller
- Signal modules can be connected to the right side of the CPU to
further expand the digital or analog IO capacity
- CPU 1212C accepts two, CPU 1215C and CPU 1217C accept eight signal
modules
- All SIMATIC S7-1200 CPUs can be equipped with up to three
communication modules on the left side of the controller – this
enables seamless serial communication and the use of various
distributed IO devices
