SIMATIC C7 compact control system –
PLC and Operator Panel in a single unit
Want to implement a complete machine control with operator
panel in a single device?
The SIMATIC C7 compact control systems have been optimized
precisely for such applications and combine a controller from
the S7-300 family with integral inputs/outputs and a SIMATIC
Panel in a single device. This makes it possible to implement
complete, yet still expandable, machine controls in the smallest
possible space and at low cost (hardware and engineering
outlay). |
 |
 |
| The controller section comprises a CPU, I/O and interface for
expanding the I/O; a line-oriented or pixel-graphics OP is used
as the operator panel, depending on the type.
Highlights
As a compact control system – PLC and OP (operator panel)
in a single unit – SIMATIC C7 offers the following decisive
benefits:
- Space savings: the compact design reduces the installation
space required direct at the machine.
- Time savings: the turnkey complete solution reduces
the engineering overhead for design, installation and
wiring, for example.
- Cost savings: purchase costs are up to 20% lower than
those for a comparable modular solution – the control
cabinet can frequently be smaller or can be dispensed
with entirely, or the C7 unit is integrated direct into the
operator panel.
- Flexibility: thanks to easy expandability with all S7-300
modules, the C7 devices are open to extensive and demanding
automation solutions.
- System integration: as a component part of Totally Integrated
Automation, SIMATIC C7 is optimally integrated
into the Siemens automation environment.
