SIMATIC S7-1200 CPU overview

The S7-1200 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, communi-cation 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.

The compact SIMATIC S7-1200 system consists of different CPU performance classes: CPU 1211C, CPU 1212C, CPU 1214C, CPU 1215C and CPU 1217C and 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.

SIMATIC S7-1200 CPU Design and functions

System Flexibility and Modularity:

Modular board concept provides the ability to add additional I/Os without increasing the CPU’s footprint. So if your application calls for a single RTD input just add the correct signal board and this reduces space and cost. Integrated PROFINET/Ethernet interface eliminates the need for additional proprietary programming cables and no Ethernet expansion module; which reduces space and cost.

Powerful Integrated Functionality:

Extensive built-in technology like motion control I/O, PID controllers, High Speed Counting I/O, and Analog I/O eliminates the need for additional specialty modules reducing space and cost. Simple configuration tools are used for both Motion and PID control functions; which saves engineers considerable development time. Rapid realization of your application is achieved with integrated control panels that dramatically reduce start-up and commissioning time.

Engineering Usability:

Intelligent drag and drop between editors allows engineers to be much quicker during development. This intuitive functionality saves considerable time and overall engineering costs. Single engineering framework for Logic, HMI and Networking with common navigation, icons, and menus are consistent throughout all views. This makes it easy to learn and even easier to maintain saving you time.

SIMATIC Memory Card

SIMATIC memory cards have a Windows file system and comply with the necessary industrial requirements. The memory card can be written to and read in a PC with standard SD slot and then used again for operation in a CPU.

Even without the STEP 7 Basic software and without knowing the IP address you can delete the IP address and reset your S7-1200 up to and including firmware V2.1.2 to the factory settings using the SIMATIC MC memory card.

SIMATIC S7-1200 SIPLUS CPUs

SIPLUS S7-1200 - Tougher than the Standard

Individually adapted products, systems and solutions for any aspect in automation and drive engineering, for a reliable operation under difficult to extreme conditions.

Depending on the application, for example, we prepare the devices for:

Ambient temperatures from -40/25°C to +60/70°C
Condensation, increased humidity, increased degree of protection (dust, water)
Extraordinary medial load e.g. pollution gas atmosphere
Increased mechanical load
Various voltage ranges that differ from the standard ranges
Sector-specific solutions

We provide highest operational safety based upon Siemens standard devices.

Only the best are good enough.

In the SIPLUS extreme line we only offer devices which successfully passed the additional in-factory quality testing.
This dual-selection approach ensures safety against early failure.
