What is the difference between S7-1200 and S7-1500?

S7–1200: programmable logic controller for simpler industrial automation tasks. S7-1500: the big brother of S7-1200: for more complex tasks. F suffix: additional fault tolerance, safety-related functions.

What is difference between S7-400 and S7-1500?

The S7-1500 covers the ground occupied by the full S7-300 family, and extends into the S7-400 family arena. With the ability to hold up to 32 modules on the “main rack”, integrated motion control capability, and CPU speeds that hit 1 nanosecond bit-processing at the S7-1518 level, it is a powerful product family.

What is the difference between S7-300 and S7-400 PLC?

So essentially the physical layout limits the S7-300 back[plane exchanges to MPI speeds (187,5 Bits per second), whereas the S7-400 uses parallel connections over the backplane rack, permitting higher exchange rates, and a higher module-density.

What is Simatic S7 Plcsim?

Siemens’ S7-PLCSIM Advanced allows simulation of functions while configuring and engineering without a physical connection. Overall, PLCSIM Advanced implements many improvements over PLCSIM including simulation for the web server, OPC UA, distributed IO, and many more.

What are the differences between Simatic S7 300 and S7-1500 Plcs?

SIMATIC S7-1500 Enhanced Processing Performance The S7-1500 significantly increases performance over the S7-300 with a faster backplane bus, standard Profinet interface, and shorter reaction times. As a result, the updated Profinet interface provides greater reproducibility and precision in the nanoseconds timeframe.

What is Siemens Simatic S7?

SIMATIC S7-1200 controllers by Siemens are the intelligent choice for compact automation solutions with extended communication options and integrated technology functions. They are available in standard and failsafe versions.

What is Simatic s7300?

The SIMATIC S7-300 universal Controllers saves on installation space and features a modular design. A wide range of modules can be used to expand the system centrally or to create decentralized structures according to the task at hand, and facilitates a cost-effective stock of spare parts.

What is the difference between Plcsim and Plcsim advanced?

PLCSIM V5. X can just simulate one PLC unlike the PLCSIM Advanced can handle up to 16 Instance and PLCSIM V12 and higher can simulate up to 2 PLCs.

Can be simulated with Simatic S7-Plcsim?

The option “Can be simulated with S7-PLCSIM Advanced” must be checked. If the simulation option has not been enabled by the system, check in the project properties whether support for simulation during compilation of the blocks is enabled. Simulation of the know-how-protected blocks is now possible.

Is the S7 300 obsolete?

The S7-300/400 systems will not be phased out before the year 2020. Thereafter the components of both systems will be available for another 10 years on a spare part basis.

What are the different Simatic product lines?

Siemens has developed four product lines to date:

• 1958: SIMATIC Version G.
• 1973: SIMATIC S3.
• 1979: SIMATIC S5.
• 1995: SIMATIC S7.

Which Simatic range of controllers does S7-1500 belong to?

SIMATIC ET 200SP Open Controllers offer extended motion control functions as technology CPU variant – for demanding and complex requirements based on S7-1500.
