SIMATIC S7-400<br />

Introduction<br />

SIMATIC S7-400<br />

S7-400<br />

■ Overview<br />

SIMATIC S7-400H<br />

5<br />

• The power PLC for medium to upper performance ranges<br />

• The solution for even the most demanding tasks<br />

• With a comprehensive range of modules and performancegraded<br />

CPUs for optimal adaptation to the automation task<br />

• Flexible in use through simple implementation of distributed<br />

structures; convenient connection method<br />

• Ideal communication and <strong>net</strong>working options<br />

• Convenient system as result of user-friendly handling and<br />

uncomplicated, fan-free configuration<br />

• Can be expanded without prob lems when the tasks increase<br />

• Multicomputing:<br />

Simultaneous operation of a number of CPUs in a single<br />

S7-400 central controller.<br />

Multicomputing segments the overall power of an S7-400.<br />

For example, complex tasks can be divided according to<br />

technology (open-loop control, closed-loop control or<br />

communication) and assigned to different CPUs, thereby<br />

allocating each CPU its own local I/O.<br />

• Modularity:<br />

The high-performance backplane bus on the S7-400 and the<br />

communication interfaces, which can be inserted directly into<br />

the CPU, provide the conditions for numerous communication<br />

lines to function efficiently. This enables a separate communication<br />

line to be set up for HMI and programming tasks, one<br />

for high-performance equidistant motion-control components<br />

and one "standard" I/O fieldbus. Additional connections to<br />

MES/ERP systems or the Inter<strong>net</strong> that might be required can<br />

also be set up.<br />

• Engineering and diagnostics:<br />

In particular in complex automation solutions with an increased<br />

engineering component, the S7-400 can be programmed<br />

and configured very efficiently in conjunction with the SIMATIC<br />

engineering tools. Available features include high-level<br />

languages such as SCL and graphics-based engineering<br />

tools for sequence control systems, state graphs and function<br />

charts.<br />

• Fault-tolerant automation system with redundant configuration<br />

• For applications with high failure safety requirements<br />

Processes with high restart costs, expensive downtimes, little<br />

supervision, and few maintenance options<br />

• Redundant central functions<br />

• Increases availability of I/O: Switched-I/O configuration<br />

• Also possible to use standard -availability I/Os: Single-sided<br />

configuration<br />

• Hot standby: Automatic reaction -free switching to the standby<br />

unit in the event of a fault<br />

• Configuration with 2 separate or one divided central controller<br />

• Connection of switched I/O via redundant PROFIBUS DP<br />
