Overview Application The SIMATIC S7-1200 is the controller for open-loop and closed-loop control tasks in mechanical equipment manufacture and plant construction. It combines maximum automation and minimum cost. Due to the compact modular design with a high performance at the same time, the SIMATIC S7-1200 is suitable for a wide variety of automation applications. Its range of use extends from the replacement of relays and contactors up to complex automation tasks in networks and within distributed structures. The S7-1200 also increasingly opens up areas for which special electronics was previously developed for economical reasons. Application examples include, for example: Function The S7-1200 is characterized by: The SIMATIC S7-1200 meets national and international standards: Design The SIMATIC S7-1200 family consists of the following modules: Mechanical features Device features Communication The SIMATIC S7-1200 is equipped with different communication mechanisms: PROFINET interface The integral PROFINET interface permits communication with: The following protocols are supported: The following can be connected: Connection between PG and CPU of SIMATIC S7-1200 Connection between Basic Panel and CPU of SIMATIC S7-1200 Connection of several devices via CSM 1277 Ethernet switch Point-to-point interface, freely-programmable interface mode Communication modules permit communication via point-to-point connections. The RS232 and RS485 physical transmission media are used. Data transmission is carried out in the "Freeport" mode of the CPU. A user-specific, bit-oriented communication protocol is used (e.g. ASCII protocol, USS, or MODBUS). Any terminal equipment with a serial interface can be connected, e.g. drives, printers, bar code readers, modems, etc. Point-to-point connection via CM 1241 in programmable interface mode Technical specifications General technical specifications Degree of protection IP20 acc. to IEC 529 Ambient temperature Operation (95% humidity) horizontal installation 0 ... 55 °C vertical installation 0 ... 45 °C Transportation and storage -40 ... +70 °C with 95% humidity 25 ... 55 °C Insulation 5/24 V DC circuits 500 V AC test voltage 115/230 V AC circuits to ground 1500 V AC test voltage 115/230 V AC circuits to 115/230 V AC circuits 1500 V AC test voltage 230 V AC circuits to 5/24 V DC circuits 1500 V AC test voltage 115 V AC circuits to 5/24 V DC circuits 1500 V AC test voltage Electromagnetic compatibility Requirements of the EMC directive Noise immunity acc. to EN 50082-2 Test acc. to: IEC 801-2, IEC 801-3, IEC 801-4, EN 50141, EN 50204, IEC 801-5, VDE 0160 Emitted interference acc. to EN 50081-1 and EN 50081-2 Test according to EN 55011, Class A, Group 1 Mechanical strength Vibrations, test acc. to / tested with IEC 68, Part 2-6: 10 ... 57 Hz; constant amplitude 0.3 mm; 58 ... 150 Hz; constant acceleration 1 g (mounted on DIN rail) or 2 g (mounted in switchboard); mode of vibration: frequency sweeps with a sweep rate of 1 octave/minute; duration of vibration: 10 frequency sweeps per axis in each direction of the three mutually perpendicular axes Shocks, test acc. to / tested with IEC 68, Part 2-27/half-sine: magnitude of shock 15 g (peak value), duration 11 ms, 6 shocks in each of the three mutually perpendicular axes
S7-1200
From the small compact unit through the high-performance PLC as far as PC-based Control. SIMATIC controllers are available for every demand and every requirement, in every type and size.They all share the same characteristics of high processing performance in the smallest possible space, ruggedness in the face of the harshest mechanical and climatic conditions, high speed and excellent expansion capability.This graded performance capability is the strength of the SIMATIC family.And in the meantime, the SIMATIC PLC is also performing functions for which you had to use completely differently technology in the past. This makes it all much easier, more compatible and more economical for you.
