The Siemens controller series is a comprehensive product portfolio, including everything from the LOGO! book-sized mini controller for programmable logic controllers to PC-based controllers, Siemens S7-1200 PLC signal modules, and Siemens 1200PLC agents. It meets the most demanding requirements, offering flexible combinations and customizations (a series of controller family products to cater to your diverse applications and needs) based on specific application requirements and budgets. The SIMATIC S7-1200 small programmable controller fully meets the system needs of small and medium-sized automation. Its development process fully considers the seamless integration and efficient coordination of systems, controllers, human-machine interfaces, and software. The launch of the SIMATIC S7-1200 series marks Siemens' expansion of its product landscape on the basis of its existing product line, representing the future development direction of small programmable controllers, and Siemens will continue to innovate as always.

Overview

Digital Input/Output as an extension to the integrated I/O of the SIMATIC S7-1200 CPUSignal module as a standalone moduleCompatible with all SIMATIC S7-1200 CPUs, except CPU 1211C.As a module signal board, it is suitable for insertion into CPUs with limited space.Compatible with all SIMATIC S7-1200 CPUsUsed to enable controllers to flexibly adapt to the requirements of related tasksFor future system expansion with additional inputs and outputs

Applied

In addition to the existing integrated digital input/output, the digital expansion module also offers more options for digital input/output usage.This offers the following advantages to users:

Excellent adaptability:

Utilize signal modules that can be mixed as needed; users can configure their controllers to precisely meet the requirements of related tasks, thus avoiding unnecessary investments. Modules with 8, 16, and 32 input/output channels are available.In situations where space is limited or only a few additional inputs/outputs are needed, signal boards can be used. Signal boards enable modular expansion of the S7-1200 CPU without increasing the installation space required for the controller.

Flexibility: The controller can be upgraded if the task expands later. Updating the user program is very simple.

Design

Signal Template

The signal module features the same design characteristics as the basic equipment:

Mounted on DIN rail: Modules are mounted on the rail to the right of the CPU, interconnected electrically and mechanically, and connected to the CPU via a slider mechanism.

Direct Installation: Horizontal or vertical mounting on DIN rail or direct installation in the control cabinet using integrated drillingDue to all digital modules being equipped with removable connection terminals ("standalone wiring"), replacement is convenient.

Signal board

The signal board is directly plugged into the socket in front of each S7-1200 CPU.

Installation:
The signal board is directly plugged into the SIMATIC S7-1200 CPU, thus enabling electrical and mechanical connections to the CPU.The CPU installation size remains unchanged.Due to all signal boards being equipped with removable connection terminals ("detachable wiring"), replacement is convenient.

SIMATIC S7-1200

The SIMATIC S7-1200 features an integrated PROFINET interface, extensive integrated process functions, and flexible expandability, providing simple communication and efficient solutions for a variety of process tasks.

The SIMATIC S7-1200 compact programmable controller fully meets the system requirements for small and medium-sized automation. Its development process takes into account the seamless integration and efficient coordination of systems, controllers, human-machine interfaces, and software. The launch of the SIMATIC S7-1200 series marks Siemens' expansion of its product portfolio based on its existing product line, representing the future development direction of small programmable controllers. Siemens will continue to innovate and lead in automation trends, offering effective solutions that particularly cater to the diverse and varied automation needs across multiple applications.
