S7-400 – Programmable Logic Controller

The S7-400 is the most powerful PLC in the family of SIMATIC controllers. It enables successful automation solutions with Totally Integrated Automation (TIA). The S7-400 is an automation platform for system solutions that focuses on process engineering and is characterized primarily by its modularity and performance reserves.

Features

• Conformal coating (G3) as standard for increased resistance to environmental influences

• High-availability automation system with redundant design

• For applications with high fail-safety requirements:

• Processes with high restart costs, expensive downtimes, little supervision, and few maintenance options.

• Redundantly designed central functions

• Increases availability of I/O: switched I/O configuration

• Also possible to use I/Os with standard availability: single-sided configuration

• Can be used with versatile, scalable SIMATIC ET 200SP HA I/O system via STEP 7

• Hot standby: Automatic reaction-free failover to the standby unit in the event of a fault

• Configuration with 2 separate or one divided central device

• Connection of switched I/O via redundant PROFIBUS DP or system-redundant
