Introduction

The S7-300 is the most often sold

SIMATIC controller which makes success-
ful automation solutions possible. The
S7-300 for system solutions with its
main emphasis in production engineer-
ing provides a universal automation plat-
form which means an optimum solution
for your applications in centralized and
distributed installations. Permanent in-
novation makes this automation plat-
form continuously more valuable.
Application

the most diverse automation tasks in
the following areas:

Design and networking

Design
Module
The S7-300 enables a space-saving Central controller (CC) DIN rail
modular configuration to machine con-
trollers adapted to the task at hand,
without taking slot rules into consider-
ation. A fan is not necessary during op- Bus connector
eration. Apart from the modules, only a
DIN rail is required where the modules
are swung into place and secured by PS CPU IM SM SM SM SM SM SM
screws. A configuration is then possible (optional) (optional for expansions)
which is robust and electro-magnetical-
ly compatible.
The backplane bus is integrated into the
module and is assembled by insertion in
the bus connector.
The diverse S7-300 module spectrum
can be used for centralized expansions
as well as for simple configuration of Configuration of the S7-300: space-saving, modular and extremely simple
distributed structures with ET 200M;
this results in a very cost-efficient
spare-parts maintenance.
Powerful, flexible networking
Interfaces that are directly integrated in
the CPUs permit the configuration of a
powerful communication landscape
that employs standard bus technolo-
gies, e.g. for HMI and programming de-
vice functions. Sufficient connectivity is
provided for numerous HMI devices. A
routing function enables a program-
ming device to be connected at any
point in the network and to address all
network nodes.
Multi-point interface - MPI
MPI is the low-cost solution for commu-
nications with programming devices
and PCs, HMI® systems and other
SIMATIC S7/C7/WinAC controllers. A to-
tal of 125 MPI stations can be connect-
ed at transmission rates of 187.5 kbit/s,
e.g. for exchanging process data among
various controllers or for HMI functions
without any programming overhead.
With the CPU 317 and 318-2 DP, the MPI Integrated interfaces of the S7-300 CPUs for direct connection to MPI and PROFIBUS DP

CPU spectrum

For setting up a programmable control-

ler system, the user can choose from a
graded spectrum of CPUs, from the
starter model to the high-performance
CPU. The CPUs enable short machine
cycles thanks to their high processing
speed. The narrow module width per-
mits compact controller configurations
and small control cabinet dimensions.
The so-called standard CPUs have a
width of only 40 mm and are also avail-
able in two fail-safe designs. Various
compact CPUs with widths of 80 to 120
mm can additionally integrate I/Os and
technological functions.

CPU Innovation N

All CPUs 317 have 512 KB of working

memory and enable extensive use of
STEP 7 Engineering Tools and techno-
logically oriented runtime software.
They also offer improved and more flex-
ible networking since up to 32 active
links with other nodes, e.g. program-
ming devices and operator panels can
be built up simultaneously.
As many as three versions of high-end
CPUs are available for a variety of appli-
cations:

for the most common control tasks
with a high share of communications

user programs that were originally de-
veloped for “standard” CPUs and are
now to be used as compact CPUs.

Fail-Safe with S7-300F

Fail-safe systems are used where the

highest safety standards for personnel,
machines and the environment must be
guaranteed, i.e. accidents and damage
as the result of an error must be avoided
at all costs.
An additional SIMATIC fail-safe control-
ler is now available with the S7-300F es-
pecially for safety-oriented and simulta-
neously distributed applications in the
production industry.
The predominant feature of the
S7-300F is the combination of standard
plant automation and safety engineer-
ing in a single system. This means that
not only “normal” communication but
also safety-oriented communication
(using the PROFIsafe-Profile) with
PROFIBUS DP between central controller
and I/O takes place - intrinsic “normal”
communication is not required. This fu-
sion of standard and safety automation
considerably reduces the expenditure
for configuring and designing modern
safety-oriented plants.
The S7-300F achieves the safety-orient-
ed functions through an F-CPU as well
as a fail-safe modules, which can be
used in the S7-300 as well as in the
ET 200M and ET 200S distributed I/O
systems. A special library is available
from the German Technical Inspector-
ship (TÜV) providing certified program-
Mixed configuration of standard and fail-safe modules, including motor starters
ming examples. The programming
takes place with the standard LAD and
FBD programming languages.
Fail-safe motor starters connected to
ET 200S are available as an ideal supple-
ment to the S7-300F.
