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

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 S7-1200 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 Siemens S7 PLC?

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

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 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 PLC S7-300?

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 Siemens PLC used for?

A programmable logic controller (PLC), also referred to as a programmable controller, is the name given to a type of computer commonly used in commercial and industrial control applications.

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.

How do I program my Siemens S7 300 PLC?
