Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC : Easily adapted to suit your needs

Automation solutions must be compact, scalable and flexible. S7-1200 CPUs are available as standard and failsafe versions. They are scalable in terms of their performance and are equipped with integrated IOs, inte-grated PROFINET interface for programming, HMI connections, distributed IOs and distri-buted drive architectures. The S7-1200 can be optimally adapted to your individual requirements by means of pluggable signal modules and communication modules.

Design
The SIMATIC S7-1200 family consists of the following modules:

Compact controllers with graded performances in different versions as wide-range AC or DC controllers.
Signal boards (analog and digital) for low-cost modular controller expansion directly on the CPU, with retention of the mounting space.
Different digital and analog signal modules.
Different communication modules and processors.
Ethernet switch with 4 ports for implementation of many different network topologies
SIWAREX weighing systems terminal module
PS 1207 stabilized power supply units, line voltage 115/230 V AC, rated voltage 24 V DC
Mechanical features

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
Device features
