The combination of modular S7-300 controllers and embedded PC technology offers more flexibility and openness for customer-specific variations to cover further new applications

Without any rotating components like af fan or hard disk, the S7-300 packaging system ensures a cutting-edge robust design

Configuration and programming can be performed with STEP 7 likewise as for the
S7-300. This simplifies commissioning and start-up for the automation personnel

The modularity and scalability offer expansion options with central S7-300 I/O modules and PC interface modules

Due to the numerous connection options, the S7-mEC can be integrated into a complete solution perfectly without great effort

As the user, you can connect both data-processing and logistics systems and also integrate technological tasks

Connection with the PC world is simplified by easy integration of PC applications into the control and the performance and openness of today's PC technology can be utilized

Retentivity of certain data areas is ensured without the need of an uninterruptible power supply

The system is immune to viruses and maloperation thanks to pre-installed software

At first sight the S7-mEC can not be identified as PC which makes the system less vulnerable to manipulation

The controller system is also available as a TÜV-certified, fail-safe version for safety-oriented applications with the fail-safe software controller WinAC RTX F. WinAC RTX F fulfills the highest safety standards as well as fulfilling the relevant standard: EN 954-1 up to Cat. 4, IEC 62061 up to SIL 3 and EN ISO 13849-1 up to PL e

on the one hand with standard S7-300 SM and other modules

and on the other hand with extension modules for additional PC interfaces (EM PC) and open PCI-104 interface (EM PCI-104)
 

Standard MS Windows embedded standard PC operating system and standard PC interfaces
