SIMATIC S7-1200, CPU 1217C, compact CPU, DC/DC/DC, 2 PROFINET ports onboard I/O: 10 DI DC 24V, 4 DI RS-422/485, 6 DO DC 24V, 0.5A, 4 DO RS-422/485, 2 AI 0-10V DC, 2 AO 0-20mA Power supply: DC 20.4-28.8V DC, program/data memory 250 KB SIMATIC S7-1200 Basic Controller - flexible thanks to a wide range of communication options. The Basic Controllers are the first choice for solving automation tasks in the lower and medium performance range flexibly and efficiently. The central modules are scaled in terms of performance, available for different input voltages and with transistor or relay outputs. Safety variants are also available. In addition to the already integrated inputs and outputs, the compact CPUs can be expanded directly on the device or with a wide variety of signal and communication modules in order to adapt them precisely to your requirements. HMI devices can also be connected via the integrated Ethernet interface. The CPU memory can be expanded using a memory card, and the PLC is configured using the STEP 7 Basic software in the TIA Portal. The micro PLC has a wide range of networking options using different communication standards through integrated functions (PROFINET, Modbus, etc.) or additional modules (IO-Link, AS-i, etc.) and thus offers maximum flexibility in the structure of the networks and topology. The application areas for the S7-1200 are very diverse due to its compact design and range from simple packaging machines and heating systems to use as a subordinate system in large systems. Compact design, modular structure and integrated IOs help to save space in the control cabinet. The STEP 7 configuration software is integrated into the TIA Portal and thus uses shared data storage, a uniform operating concept and consistent communication services for all components of a system. This means less configuration effort and faster commissioning.
