Specifications

A variety of programming options are available. This includes

basic programming languages (Instruction List, Ladder

Diagram, and Function Block Diagram) as well as more as well

as alternative approaches such as S7-SCL (Structured Control

Language), S7-Graph, S7-HiGraph, and S7-CFC (Continuous

Function Chart).

Modular SIMATIC controllers are optimized for control

tasks and can be adapted to meet application requirements

using modules for input/output (I/O), special functions, and

communications. Examples of products in this category include:

LOGO!, S7-200, and S7-1200 micro automation products, and

S7-300, S7-400, and S7-1500 modular system PLCs.

SIMATIC embedded bundles are a combination of hardware

and software, preconﬁgured for all your automation tasks.

Rotary parts are no longer needed, resulting in a system that

is extremely rugged with an operating system tailored and

optimized for the hardware used. Each embedded system unites

the beneﬁts of open PC-based controllers with the ruggedness

of conventional controllers.

SIMATIC PC-based controller users rely on the ruggedness and

open architecture of industrial PCs coupled with the powerful

SIMATIC WinAC software PLC. A SIMATIC S7 is integrated into

the industrial PC as a software PLC and the PC-based controller

is conﬁgured and programmed the same way as other S7

controllers. All the automation components are integrated into

a single industrial PC, resulting in a complete and cost-effective

solution.
