The SIMATIC S7-1200 is the controller for open-loop and closed loop control tasks in mechanical equipment manufacture and plant construction. It combines maximum automation and minimum cost. Due to the compact modular design with a high performance at the same time, the SIMATIC S7-1200 is suitable for a wide variety of automation applications. Its range of use extends from the replacement of relays and contactors up to complex automation tasks in networks and within distributed structures.
The S7-1200 also increasingly opens up areas for which special electronics was previously developed for economic reasons.
Application examples include, for example:
- Placement systems
- Conveyor systems
- Elevators and escalators
- Material transportation equipment
- Metalworking machinery
- Packaging machines
- Printing machines
- Textile machines
- Mixing systems
- Freshwater treatment plants
- Wastewater treatment plants
- External displays
- Electricity distribution stations
- Room temperature control
- Heating/cooling system control
- Energy management
- Fire protection systems
- Air conditioning
- Lighting control
- Pump control
- Security/access control systems
