Siemens S7-1200 PLC

SIMATIC S7-1200 is the controller for open-loop and closed-loop control tasks in mechanical equipment manufacture and plant construction. It combines maximum automation and minimum cost. Due to the compact modular design with a high performance at the same time, the SIMATIC S7-1200 is suitable for a wide variety of automation applications. Its range of use extends from the replacement of relays and contactors up to complex automation tasks in networks and within distributed structures. The S7-1200 also increasingly opens up areas for which special electronics was previously developed for economical reasons.

S7-1200 is available with a range of inputs and outputs, the CPU1211C comes with 10 integral inputs and outputs, has 14 integral inputs and outputs and the CPU1212CCPU1214C has 24 integral inputs and outputs. All of the versions have the option of either a 24V DC supply or 85..264V AC making them ideal for any application. The S7-1200 can be also be purchased in a S7-1200 Starter Kit which contains a S7-1200 CPU 1212C AC/DC/Relay (6ES7212-1BD30-0XB0), Step 7 Basic CD V10.5, Digital Input Simulator SIM 1274 (6ES7274-1XH30-0XA0, 6ES7274-1XF30-0XA0), SIMATIC Industrial Ethernet TP Cord, SIMATIC S7-1200 Documentation Collection CD and Information Material all contained its own carry case.

The consistently modular design of the S7-1200 makes it extremely flexible. A wide range of S7-1200 Digital and Analog Modules are available that allow individual expansion of the CPU. S7-1200 Communication Modules are also available for ASCII, USS Drive Protocol and MODBUS. There is also a Communication Module for unmanaged systems.
