Product range

The SIMATIC S7-1200 modules at a glance

The S7-1200 controller is designed as a compact CPU, which means that IOs are already integrated. Yet the S7-1200 station can be equipped with additional IO modules to enlarge the capabilities of the PLC.

SIMATIC S7-1200 CPUs

The modular SIMATIC S7-1200 controller is at the core of our offering for simple but highly precise automation tasks. The SIMATIC S7-1200 controller is modular and compact, versatile, a secure investment, and is perfectly suited to a whole range of applications.

SIMATIC S7-1200 Signal modules

The central processing units of the SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC are designed as Compact CPUs with integrated I/Os. Their modular design can be used to increase the configuration limits or to adapt the controller to new tasks: through mounting a Signal Board on the CPU or adding separate signal modules.

SIMATIC S7-1200 Special modules

Special modules enhance the application area of the whole system, e.g. for Codition Monitoring, integrated weighing technology, simulation of input signal or for extending the power reserve for the S7-1200 real-time clock by an additional battery board.

SIMATIC S7-1200 Communication modules

Communication modules increase the communication capabilities of the SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC through additional functions and interfaces. S7-1200 communication modules support serial communication, PROFIBUS, IO-Link, AS-Interface and several mobile standards.
