Introduction to Siemens S7 PLC Hardware

Introduction to Siemens S7 PLC Hardware 

Siemens have SIMATIC (Siemens Automatic) Series PLC with 3 category.

  •            Micro PLC  (Siemens Logo and S7-200,1200)

  •            Basic PLC (Siemens S7-300,S7-1500)
  •            Advanced PLC (Siemens S7-400)


Please find the below image for positioning of Modular PLC series in SIEMENS.



For the Siemens PLC before 2010 there was SIMATIC Manager software for Step 7 PLC programming except from S7-200. For the S7 200 we need MicroWin Software.

Right now SIEMENS have latest TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) software for PLC programing as well SCADA,HMI designing and Drive commissioning.


TIA is integration of 3 software’s

  •     Step7 For Siemens PLC Hardware configuration and Programming
  •       Wincc (Windows Control Center) for Siemens SCADA & HMI configuration& programming
  •       Start Drive for SINAMICS Series AC drive commissioning & parameterization.

The Modular Controllers have been optimized for control tasks and specially designed for ruggedness and long-term availability. They can be flexibly expanded at any time using plug-in I/O modules, function modules, and communication modules. Depending on the size of the application, the right controller can be selected from a wide range according to performance, quantity frameworks, and communication interfaces. The modular controllers can also be used as fault-tolerant or fail-safe systems.


S7-1200 PLC


Here we will understand S7 1200 Modular PLC hardware and its features.

 S7-1200 PLC is widely used PLC in small application with modular based IO.

You can extend max 11 IO modules (depends upon CPU model) with the S71200 PLC.


You can integrate SIMATIC Memory card to expand CPU memory. The SIMATIC memory card is used as plug-in load memory or for updating the firmware. STEP 7 projects including comments and symbols, additional documentation or csv files (for recipes and archives) can also be stored on the SIMATIC memory card. Data blocks can be created and data stored or read via SFCs on the SIMATIC memory card with the user program


Communication protocols would be Profinet or Industrial Ethernet port by default but you can add other communication block for another communication protocols lilke RS-232, RS-485, Modbus, AS-I etc.



You can integrate Signal board with S71200 for extra IO (Max 2 analog or digital) without expanding physical size of the PLC.


You can write different PLC Programming languages in Siemens PLC as below

  •                Ladder (LDR)
  •                STL (Statement List)
  •                FBD (Function Block Diagram)
  •               Sequential Control Logic (SCL)

In S71200 we will get technological function like PID & High Speed Counters in built , so no need extra controller for close loop control.


 


S7 300 PLC

The S7-300 automation system is modular in design. It has a comprehensive range of modules that can be combined individually.


A system includes the following:


 A CPU: Different CPUs are available for different performance ranges, including CPUs with integral inputs/outputs and the corresponding functions, as well as CPUs with integral PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET and point-to-point interfaces. Signal modules (SMs) for digital and analog inputs/outputs.


Communications processors (CPs) for bus connection and point-to-point connections. Function modules (FMs) for high-speed counting, positioning (open-loop/closed-loop) and PID control. Max 32 IO module can be connected with S7 300 PLC.




The following can also be used depending on requirements:


Load power supply (PS) for connecting the SIMATIC S7-300 to a supply voltage of 120/230 V AC.

Interface modules (IMs) for connecting the central controller (CC) and expansion units (EUs) in multi-tier configurations. The SIMATIC S7-300 can be operated with up to 32 modules distributed across the CC and 3 EUs. All modules can be operated in enclosures and without fans.


 SIPLUS modules for extended environmental conditions, Suitable for temperature range -25 to +60 °C, and higher humidity, condensation and frost loads. Can be used direct on vehicles or outside building in an IP20 cabinet protected against direct sunlight and rainwater/spray water. Air-conditioned cabinet and IP65 housing not required.

Perhitungan & Cara Merubah Kumparan Blender Dari 220 V Menjadi 12 V

          Seperti yang telah dijelaskan pada buku “menggulung motor listrik arus bolak-balik, servis peralatan listrik rumah tangga kelompok penggerak dan perbaikan peralatan listrik pertukangan”, bahwa motor penggerak yang digunakan pada perlatan listrik rumah tangga dan pertukangan seperti blender, mixer, bor tembak, gerinda dsb menggunakan jenis motor universal. Motor universal adalah jenis motor listrik yang dapat disuplai dengan sumber listrik arus bolak-balik (AC) dan arus searah (DC). Jadi peralatan-peralatan listrik rumah tangga dan pertukangan tersebut yang biasanya kita suplai dengan sumber listrik AC dari PLN atau Genset sebesar 220 V sebenarnya dapat juga kita suplai dengan sumber listrik DC yang tentunya tegangan juga harus sama yakni 220 V.           Yang menjadi permasalahan bagaimana kalau peralatan listrik rumah tangga atau pertukangan tersebut, sebagai contoh misalkan blender yang ingin digunakan atau dioper...

BT-BASIC command line

8.8       At the BT-BASIC command line type the command  msi  and the directory path, then press the “ENTER” key on the keyboard.  Example:                   msi ‘/hp3070/boards/aspect/main’ 8.9       At the BT-BASIC command line type the command  get ‘testplan’ and press the   ENTER” key on the keyboard.  You should now see the body of the testplan file displayed in the work space of the BT-BASIC window. 8.10     Some of the most frequently used BT-BASIC commands used are:

Testhead

4.3         Testhead The testhead is that portion of the tester that supports the PIN, ASRU and Controller cards.   The testhead is divided into two BANKS and each BANK is divided into two MODULES, see figure 2 below.  Bank 1 contains modules 0 and 1, bank 2 contains modules 2 and 3.  The test fixtures are placed on the banks of the tester and locked down for board testing.  The testhead cards interface to the test fixture through the spring loaded pogo pin “nails” at the top edge on each of these card types. 4.4       Support Bay The support bay is a stand-alone cabinet that houses the power supplies for the Unit Under Test.  This bay also houses the test station power distribution unit and test station controller on earlier models. 4.5       Emergency Shutdown Switch The emergency shutdown switch is the large red button located at the lower left corne...

Kelebihan dan Kekurangan Saluran Listrik Jenis Saluran Udara dan Saluran Bawah Tanah

Berdasarkan pemasangannya,   saluran distribusi dibagi menjadi dua kategori, yaitu : saluran udara (overhead line) merupakan sistem penyaluran tenaga listrik melalui kawat penghantar yang ditompang pada tiang listrik. Sedangkan saluran bawah tanah (underground cable) merupakan sistem penyaluran tenaga listrik melalui kabel-kabel yang ditanamkan di dalam tanah. 1.    Saluran Bawah Tanah (Underground Lines) Saluran distribusi yang menyalurkan energi listrik melalui kabel yang ditanam didalam tanah. Kategori saluran distribusi seperti ini adalah yang favorite untuk pemasangan di dalam kota, karena berada didalam tanah, maka tidak mengganggu keindahan kota dan juga tidak mudah terjadi gangguan akibat kondisi cuaca atau kondisi alam. Namun juga memilik kekurangan, yaitu mahalnya biaya investasi dan sulitnya menentukan titik gangguan dan perbaikannya. Kedua cara penyaluran memiliki keuntungan dan kerugian masing-masing. Keuntungan yang dapat diperoleh dari suatu jaringan bawah...
