SIMATIC S7-1200

SIMATIC S7-1200 Basic Controllers offer persuasive, comprehensive technological features and integrated I/Os as well as a compact, space-saving design. They are the intelligent choice for small to medium-sized projects.

The functionality of the SIMATIC S7-1200 controllers is seamlessly extended by the SIMATIC S7-1500 controllers that have been developed for more complex tasks. This means you benefit from uniform processes and the resulting maximum efficiency in engineering, operation, and maintenance, and when migrating systems.

Scalable and flexible design:
The SIMATIC S7-1200 hardware is compact and modular, and it enables you to develop automation solutions that exactly meet your requirements. The innovative signal board concept lets you easily add digital and analog I/Os without changing the physical size of the controller.

Engineering in the TIA Portal:
SIMATIC S7-1200 is perfectly integrated into the Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal) for maximum engineering efficiency. All SIMATIC Controllers and SIMATIC Panels are based on a shared database, a standardized operator concept, and centralized services. You benefit from a significantly reduced engineering overhead.

Networking:
The Industrial Ethernet/PROFINET interface integrated into SIMATIC S7-1200 offers seamless communication with distributed I/O, with SIMATIC HMI Panels for visualization and additional controllers for CPU-to-CPU communication. It can also be used with devices from third parties for extended integration possibilities as well as with the TIA Portal engineering framework for configuring and programming.

Integrated technology:
Integrated technology features for metering and measuring tasks, closed-loop control and motion control make the SIMATIC S7-1200 a versatile system that is perfectly suited for numerous automation tasks.

Security Integrated:
Protection from unauthorized code or process value changes means higher availability during operation. Know-how protection, copy protection and access protection prevent unauthorized third parties from opening and duplicating blocks and keep your algorithms and processes safe. The security features are integrated in the S7-1200 and the TIA Portal.

Diagnostics:
SIMATIC S7-1200 offers a diagnostic functionality that is already integrated in the system, without the need for any further programming. A standardized display concept enables error messages to be identically visualized as plain text information in the TIA Portal, on the HMI and in the web server.

Safety Integrated:
Safety-related applications are possible up to SIL 3 according to IEC 62061 and PL e according to ISO 13849 with fail-safe S7-1200 CPUs. The integrated PROFIsafe functionality enables connection of additional fail-safe devices, such as frequency converters. The S7-1200 fail-safe CPUs can be used for standard and fail-safe applications in machine and plant automation.
