Overview
Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 Series CPU — The Basic Controller – All in one!
The new modular SIMATIC S7-1200 controller is at the core of our new offering for simple but highly precise automation tasks. The SIMATIC S7-1200 controller is modular and compact, versatile, a secure investment, and is perfectly suited to a whole range of applications. The S7-1200 CPUs with Safety Integrated handle both standard and safety-related tasks. A compact design with integrated IO, communication interfaces that meet the highest industry requirements and a range of powerful integrated technological functions make this controller an integral part of a comprehensive automation solution.
Scalable performance and functionality for consistent and efficient engineering: the SIMATIC S7-1500 devices seamlessly continue the functionality of the SIMATIC S7-1200 controllers. This makes subsequent expansions easier and more cost-effective.
SIMATIC S7-1200 Basic Controllers are the ideal choice when it comes to performing automation tasks in the low to mid-performance range with maximum flexibility and efficiency. They deliver convincing results thanks to their comprehensive range of technological functions and integrated I/Os, as well as their compact, space-saving design. Thanks to standardized remote control protocols, you can connect SIMATIC S7-1200 controllers directly to your control center without any programming effort.
Features:
Complex wiring of the safety function (for feedback and possible functional dependencies)
Fault diagnosis only possible by means of onboard LEDs and not on a central HMI panel
Reduced effort required for wiring:
All information (e.g. signal states and diagnoses) is already available in the system
Efficient fault diagnosis centrally on an HMI panel
Compact construction with integrated I/Os and flexibility due to the board concept
Security thanks to protected access to the CPU and program copy protection
Incorporated functions and flexible connection of drives
System diagnostics indicate error messages in plaintext in the TIA Portal on the HMI or web server
Efficient engineering With SIMATIC STEP 7 Basic in the TIA Portal
Fail-safe CPUs for the execution of standard and safety-related programs
Flexible integration into all network structures PROFINET, PROFIBUS, AS-i, IO-Link, CANopen or even connection to remote control centers
Use in extreme ambient conditions as SIPLUS S7-1200 version
Early detection of mechanical damage
S7-1200 Version Features:
The compact SIMATIC S7-1200 system consists of different CPU performance classes:
CPU 1211C, CPU 1212C, CPU 1214C, CPU 1215C and CPU 1217C
The Failsafe versions: CPU 1212FC, CPU 1214FC and CPU 1215FC
Each of these may be expanded according to the machine requirements
The S7-1200 CPUs can be expanded with up to three communication modules (CM) and eight signal modules (SM)
Signal modules and signal boards can be integrated in order to expand the digital or analog IOs without affecting the physical size of the controller
Signal modules can be connected to the right side of the CPU to further expand the digital or analog IO capacity
CPU 1212C accepts two, CPU 1215C and CPU 1217C accept eight signal modules
All SIMATIC S7-1200 CPUs can be equipped with up to three communication modules on the left side of the controller – this enables seamless serial communication and the use of various distributed IO devices
