SIMOTION C
SIMOTION C is a Motion Controller in S7-300 design. In addition to already integrated interfaces, this Controller can be extended to include SIMATIC S7-300 I/O modules.
Two versions of the Motion Controller are available: SIMOTION C240 and SIMOTION C240 PN.
These two versions have the same PLC and Motion Control performance. They are, however, equipped with different interfaces. The C240 comprises four interfaces for analog, stepper resp. hydraulic drives onboard. The C240 PN is equipped with a PROFINETinterface including 3 ports. In addition, both controllers are equipped with several digital inputs and outputs as well as two PROFIBUS interfaces including PROFIdrive and an Industrial Ethernet interface for communication.
Description
A graded CPU range with a wide performance range is available for configuring the controller.
The product range comprises 7 standard CPUs,
7 compact CPUs, 5 fail-safe CPUs and 3 technology CPUs.
The CPUs are available from a width of only 40 mm
SIMATIC S7-300 is within Totally Integrated Automation the most sold Controller.
Benefits
