Debut at Hannover Messe 2024: Siemens announces a new generation of controller with Simatic S7-1200 G2, part of Siemens Xcelerator
Siemens presents new controller generation Simatic S7-1200 G2
The new controllers help
bridge the worlds of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT).
The controllers’ high communication performance and efficient data processing
increase production output. By connecting the controllers to IT systems, it is
also possible to use advanced data analysis, for example in the cloud.
The new controllers are part
of Siemens Xcelerator, allowing customers to benefit from the standardized
engineering approach in the TIA Portal. The Simatic S7-1200 G2 controller
generation enables customers to address major challenges, such as productivity,
flexibility, and cost optimization.
At the trade show, customers
can explore the Simatic S7-1200 G2 controller via digital and real exhibit
highlights: the S7-1200 G2 – enabling them to experience first-hand how the
Simatic S7-1200 G2 supports efficient motion control and flexible machine
safety, along with other smart solutions.
New features for Simatic S7-1200 G2
Machine
builders are facing rising customer demands for more customized and flexible
solutions. This is driving the need for technological advances, such as new
motion control functionalities, performance improvements, and machine safety
solutions. Siemens delivers full scalability across all Simatic controllers and
offers the right controller for every customer application.
Simatic
S7-1200 G2 controllers are setting new performance standards for versatile and
high-precision automation applications. The new range of controllers combines
integrated motion control functionalities with space-saving and flexible machine
safety solutions.
For
example, the S7-1200 G2 controllers make it possible for machine builders to control
multiple coordinated axes and simple kinematics. Customers experience increased
performance capabilities thanks to improved processing power, dedicated
communication performance and more memory, as well as Near Field Communication (NFC)
functionality with in-app access to diagnostic, operational, and device data.
Plain text diagnostic information about the entire programmable logic
controller (PLC) station reduces machine downtime and gives users quick access
to data.
