Combine the advantages of a SIMATIC S7-1500 PLC with the compact design of a SIMATIC ET 200 I/O system. Ideal for machines with limited space.
Distributed Controllers are used for machines with a distributed architecture and for series machines with limited space available. By relocating intelligence to individual stations, you can fix faults without the plant grinding to a standstill, increasing availability. They combine the advantages of a SIMATIC S7-1500 with the design of a SIMATIC ET 200 IO system.
Distributed Controllers can be mounted directly on the machine in small control boxes or, in the case of the ET 200pro, without them. In networked plants, connection to a production line’s central control cabinet is realized via PROFINET. Moving data from the central control cabinet to Distributed Controllers on the individual stations improves overall availability.
Our Distributed Controllers include:
