The modular controller for system solutions in the manufacturing industry

Description
A graded CPU range with a wide performance range is available for configuring the controller.

The product range comprises 7 standard CPUs, 6 compact CPUs, 6 fail-safe CPUs and 2 technology CPUs. The CPUs are available from a width of only 40mm.

Benefits

• Thanks to their high processing speed, the CPUs enable short machine cycle times.
• The S7-300’s range of CPUs provides the right solution for every application, and customers only pay for the performance actually required for a specific tasks.
• The S7-300 can be set up in a modular configuration without the need for slot rules for I/O modules
• Integral PROFINET interfaces enable simple networking of the controllers and simple data exchange with the operations management level.
• The narrow module width results in a compact controller design or a small control cabinet.
• The ability to integrate powerful CPUs with industrial Ethernet/PROFINET interface, integrated technological functions, or fail-safe designs make additional investments unnecessary.

Range of application

• The S7-300 is particularly suitable for tasks requiring fast counting/measuring with direct access to the hardware counters.
• For applications where a high degree of ruggedness is required.
• The S7-300 is preferably used for automation tasks requiring a flexible concept and a centralized/distributed configuration.
• PID control with integral function block

Particularly in the finishing technique the S7-300 is used in the following industries:

1. Automobile industry
2. General of special machines
3. Building of special machines
4. Series mechanical engineering, OEM
5. Plastics processing
6. Packaging industry
7. Food and Beverage industry
8. Process engineering
9. Fast counting/fairs with direct access on the hardware counters
10. Simply positioning with direct control the MICROMASTER frequency static frequency changers
11. PID-Regulation with integrated functional module
