More functions in small spaces – with PROFINET and EtherNet/IP
The managed switches of the SCALANCE XB-200 product line save space and feature a lightweight, industry-compatible plastic housing. They support PROFINET and EtherNet/IP (selectably switchable) and can thus be used for real-time communication applications. In addition, they enable the setup of virtual networks thanks to their VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) functionality, and can also be deployed in potentially explosive areas (IECEx/ATEX Zone 2/UL HazLoc).
Network management through diverse diagnostic and security functions
Industrial PCs are becoming more important in the field of automation. Typical PC applications range from human machine interfacing to data processing. Frequently, these tasks do not need the full PC computing performance. So why not utilize currently unused resources by turning your industrial PC into a PC-based controller? A compatible PLC software empowers any industrial PC to perform as a PC-based controller – also as a fail-safe controller. Siemens offers a comprehensive range of solutions for this
PLC Software from Siemens
When using a PC based controller, users rely on the ruggedness and open architecture of industrial PCs, coupled with the powerful SIMATIC WinAC software PLC. A SIMATIC S7 is integrated into the industrial PC as a software PLC and the PC-based controller is configured and programmed with STEP 7 in exactly the same way as a normal S7 controller. All the automation components are integrated into a single industrial PC, resulting in a complete and cost-effective solution. SIMATIC WinAC RTX F is the first failsafe software PLC with TUEV Certification.
Distributed Controller based on SIMATIC ET 200 pro
Control next to the machine in IP65/67
Via interface modules the ET 200 pro is connected to the bus system, either the proven fieldbus PROFIBUS or PROFINET the leading Industrial Ethernet Standard. ET 200pro Interface Modules are offered with CPU functionality in standard or failsafe variants.
SIMATIC ET200pro CPU 1516pro
The
ET 200pro distributed I/O system is being expanded with CPU 1516pro-2
PN and CPU 1516pro F-2 PN. The new CPUs are based on the S7-1500 CPU
1516-3 PN/DP and offer two PROFINET IO communication interfaces.
The
CPUs 1516pro-2 PN Standard and Fail-safe have a PROFINET IO interface
with three PROFINET ports. The three ports have the same properties. In
addition, you can implement a ring redundancy (MRP or MRPD) with ports 1
and 2. Ports 1 and 2 with M12 cable gland, as known from the IM154-8
PN/DP CPUs, are connected to the CPU by means of a connection module.
Port 3 is a RJ45 socket that is permanently integrated into the CPU
enclosure behind a porthole.
The 1516pro-2 PN and 1516pro F-2 PN
CPUs support PROFINET IRT through this PN interface and thus permit
short, predictable response times, even faster, deterministic data
exchange with IO devices and a high immunity to interference from
non-real-time data communication.
