System connections for S7:

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are of key importance in the world of automation. And industrial communication forms the nerve center in this respect. SIMATIC NET CPs for PLCs adopt a key role in industrial communication.
They offer the following advantages:

CPs for all formats of SIMATIC, e.g. SIMATIC S7-300/-400.
By means of open communication with standards, SIMATIC can communicate with any other device.

Possible uses

The SIMATIC NET communications processors can be used for applications in factory and process automation.

Openness

Thanks to its openness in accordance with international standards, different components are able to work with each other.

Robustness

The communications processors are all designed for use in rough industrial environments with a wide range of temperatures. The CPs perform communication tasks for the terminals and take up few of their resources.

Certificates and approvals

They are certified for marine use (ABS), enabling them to be used in ships or offshore installations.

A standard feature of the CPs is S7 communication (Client, Server, Multiplexing), S5-compatible communication and PG/OP communication; additional communications services are available depending on CP type.
