SIMATIC controllers for cost-effective automation solutions
The right controller every time: for plant building, mechanical engineering, production or process engineering, small autonomous applications, as well as highly complex applications. Siemens offers the optimal control solution for every application area - whether PLC or PC-based.
The range encompasses logic modules including Basic, Advanced and Distributed Controllers, as well as Software Controllers.
Portfolio:
- LOGO! logic module
- S7-1200
- Advanced Controllers - S7-1500 - S7-300 - S-7400
Basic Controllers
Basic Controllers are the intelligent choice for applications in the low to mid-performance range. They are available in standard and fail-safe versions. The integrated inputs and outputs as well as the integrated technology functions facilitate both compact and cost-effective solutions. With Basic Controllers, flexible solutions for simple networking with integrated and optional communication connections can be implemented.
Basic Controllers are configured and programmed in the Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal). You therefore benefit from maximum engineering efficiency, and as applications increase in complexity, you can easily transfer them to Advanced Controllers.
LOGO! logic module
logic module is the convenient, user-friendly solution for simple open-loop and closed-loop control tasks.
Application LOGO! can be implemented universally, e.g.:
Building services/electrical installation sector (lights, blinds, awnings, gates, access control points, barriers, ventilation systems...).- Control cabinet manufacture.
- Mechanical engineering (pumps, small presses, compressors, lifting platforms, conveyor belts ...).
- Special controls for conservatories, greenhouses.
- Signal preprocessing for other controllers.
LOGO! logic modules are modular and can be flexibly expanded to suit the application.
S7-1200
SIMATIC S7-1200 is the controller for open-loop and closed-loop control tasks in mechanical and plant engineering.
The SIMATIC S7-1200 combines compact modular design with high performance, making it 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.
Easy mounting of the modules on a standard DIN rail or in a control panel- Rugged, compact plastic enclosure
- Easily accessible connection and control elements, protected by front flaps
- Removable connection terminals, also for analog or digital expansion modules
Advanced Controllers
The Advanced Controllers are especially suitable for medium and complex applications. The SIMATIC S7-1500 controller is the long-term successor to the SIMATIC S7-300 and SIMATIC S7-400 controllers in discrete automation and the standard for the plants of tomorrow – delivering convincing results with unique performance capability and innovative design and handling. SIMATIC S7 controllers with modular expansion capability are long-term compatible, maintenance-free, scalable and can, of course, be configured in the TIA Portal. They are the ideal solution for any automation task.
