General description of the System 300

The System 300 is a modular automation system for middle and high

performance needs, which you can use either centralized or decentralized.

The single modules are directly clipped to the profile rail and are connected

together with the help of bus clips at the backside.

The CPUs of the System 300 are instruction set compatible to S7-300 from

Siemens.

VIPA differentiates between System 300V and System 300S.

• System 300V

The System 300V allows you to resolve automation tasks centralized

and decentralized. The single modules of the System 300V from VIPA

are similar in construction to Siemens. Due to the compatible backplane

bus, the modules from VIPA and Siemens can be mixed.

• System 300S

The System 300S extends the central area with high-speed CPUs that

have the integrated SPEED7 chip. Additionally some CPU's have got a

parallel SPEED-Bus that allows the modular connection of fast

peripheral modules like IOs or bus master.
