Introduction
For the operation of machines, equipment and processes in almost all areas of manufacturing
you require control elements in addition to energy supply. It must be possible to initiate, control,
monitor and end the operation of any given machine or process.
Hard-wired Programmed Controller PLC
In the hard-wired controllers of the past, the program logic was governed by the task-specific
wiring of contactors and relays.
Today, programmable logic controllers are used to solve automation tasks. The logic stored in the
program memory of an automation system does not depend on equipment design and wiring and
can be modified at any time with the help of a programming device.
Totally Integrated Automation
Production processes are no longer seen as individual partial processes, but rather as integral
components of an entire production process. The total integration of the entire automation
environment is today achieved with the help of:
one common software environment that integrates all components and tasks into one uniform
easy to use system
a common data management (central database)
a common communication between all participating automation components.

The programmable logic controllers can be divided into the performance ranges Basic (S7-1200)
and Advanced (S7-1500).
The product range of the S7-1200 and S7-1500 will be expanded in the next few years such that
the S7-200, S7-300 and even the S7-400 can be completely replaced.

Installation
The modules are mounted on a standard mounting rail or alternatively screwed into the control
cabinet.
S7-1200 Expansion Cable
It offers additional flexibility in configuring the S7-1200 system. One expansion cable can be used
for each CPU system.
Either between the CPU and the first SM or between two SMs
Bus Connector
It is located as a mechanical slide on the left side of the SM modules.
It is mechanically attached on the right side of the CMs/CPs.
Mounting Positions
A horizontal or vertical mounting is possible.
Caution!
With a vertical mounting, the maximum allowed ambient temperature is 10 °C lower.
