SIMATIC S7-1200 CPUs
The modular S7-1200 controller is at the core of Siemens’ offering for simple but highly precise automation tasks. The S7-1200 controller is modular and compact, versatile, a secure investment, and is perfectly suited to a whole range of applications.
SIMATIC S7-1200 Signal modules
The central processing units of the S7-1200 PLC are designed as Compact CPUs with integrated I/Os. Their modular design can be used to increase the configuration limits or to adapt the controller to new tasks: through mounting a Signal Board on the CPU or adding separate signal modules.
S7-1200 Special modules
Special modules enhance the application area of the whole system, e.g. for Condition Monitoring, integrated weighing technology, simulation of input signal or for extending the power reserve for the S7-1200 real-time clock by an additional battery board.
S7-1200 Communication modules
Communication modules increase the communication capabilities of the SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC through additional functions and interfaces. S7-1200 communication modules support serial communication, PROFIBUS, IO-Link, AS-Interface and several mobile standards.
