SIMATIC S7-1200 G2 - Redefining Basic Automation
The highly anticipated SIMATIC S7-1200 G2 signifies a major step change when it comes to simpler automation applications. Expect an automation system that minimises complexity which is also optimised for cost efficiency.
Coordinated machine safety and motion control in one single PLC means that you can reduce system complexity, which is all supported by one common engineering platform (TIA Portal).
Key highlights of the updated S7-1200 controller range includes:
- Efficient Motion Control with integrated motion control technology objects
- Enhanced performance and scalability with a smaller space-saving design
- Redefined machine safety hardware concept with fail-safe signal boards
- NFC functionality for wireless access to diagnostics, operational & device data.
Efficient Motion Control Shakes Up The Basic Automation Space
The biggest enhancement to be added in the next-generation of SIMATIC S7-1200 controllers is the integrated motion control functionality, allowing users to satisfy new applications, such as simple single axis control, up to coordinated axis control, and easy kinematics.
Configuration of motion control will also be a simpler task thanks to the integrated motion control technology objects, allowing for fast generation of user programs with less development effort.
The controller family has also received a serious performance upgrade with enhanced processing power, dedicated communication performance, and a sizeable memory boost.
The SIMATIC S7-1200 G2 can also support Near Field Communication (NFC) functionality providing access to diagnostic, operational, and device data via a smartphone.
Scalable, cost-optimised and powerful portfolio for the basic automation segment
The SIMATIC S7-1200 G2 sets new standards for simple but high-precision automation controllers.
This new controller family is the solution to increasing demand for smart automation solutions that offers perfect coordination between standard, safety and motion control in a single PLC.
Reap the rewards of fast generation of user programs with less development effort and easily configurable motion profiles using the integrated Technology Objects.
