Highlights
-
Scalable and Flexible Design
Up to eight Signal Modules
can be connected to the
largest CPUs. One Signal Board
can be connected to all CPUs,
allowing you to customize
the CPUs by adding digital or
analog I/O to the controller
without affecting its physical
size. The modular concept
provided by the SIMATIC S7-
1200 allows you to design a
controller system to exactly fit
your application needs.
-
Memory
Up to 50 KB of integrated
work memory is provided with
a floating boundary between
the user program and user
data. Up to 2 MB of integrated
load memory and 2 KB of
integrated retentive memory
are also provided.
-
Communication
Up to 3 Communication
Modules can be added to
any of the SIMATIC S7-1200
CPUs. The RS485 and RS232
Communication Modules
provide the connection for
performing Point-to-Point
serial communication. This
communication is configured
and programmed using
extended instructions or
with the library functions,
USS drive protocol and
Modbus RTU Master and Slave
protocols, which are included
within the STEP 7 Basic
engineering system.
-
Integrated PROFINET Interface
The integrated PROFINET
interface is used for
programming, as well as
for HMI and PLC-to-PLC
communication. Additionally,
it supports communication
with third-party devices using
open Ethernet protocols. This
interface features an RJ45
connector with auto-crossover
functionality and
provides for data transmission
rates at 10/100 Mbit/s.
It supports up to 16 Ethernet
connections and the following
protocols: TCP/IP native,
ISO on TCP, and
S7-Communication.
-
Integrated Technology Functions
High-speed inputs
The new SIMATIC S7-1200
controller comes with up
to 6 high-speed counters.
Three inputs at 100 kHz and
three inputs at 30 kHz are
integrated for counting and
measuring.
