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 economical 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

• Extremely simple starter solution:
  Special starter packages and introductions facilitate familiarization.
• Uncomplicated operation:
  Powerful standard commands which are simple to use, together with the user-friendly programming software, reduce the programming overhead to a minimum.
• Exceptional real-time characteristics:
  Special interrupt functions, fast counters, and pulse outputs permit use even with time-critical processes.

The SIMATIC S7-1200 meets national and international standards:

• UL 508
• CSA C22.2 No. 142
• FM Class I, div. 2, group A, B, C, D; T4A Class I, Zone 2, IIC, T4
• VDE 0160
• EN 61131-2
• Requirements of the EMC directive in accordance with EN 50081-1, 50081-2 and 50082-2
