PLC CPU

Vipa has released the Speed7 CPU 315S which is programmed by Step7 from Siemens.

Flexible memory has been introduced, meaning at a later date the CPU can be upgraded to larger memory size simply by plugging in an optional memory MMC card. The CPU 315S comes with 128 K work memory which can be expanded to 1 MB work memory.

A 10/100 Mb TCP/IP port comes onboard standard for programming or SCADA connection. A standard 12 Mb Profibus DP Master port is integrated into every CPU.

A special high-speed parallel bus is available to the left of the CPU for communication processors, function modules, fast digital input cards and fast analog input cards.

The MPI port can connect to operator panels simultaneously as programming with a laptop. The MPI port also supports Siemens Global communications to up to eight partners. These partners can be Vipa 100, 200, 300 V, Siemens S7-300, S7-400 CPUs.

Users can configure the Speed7 CPU with existing Step7 and cables, can use the Vipa WiPLC7 software. Vipa also supplies the MPI cable which autodetect PPI/MPI/Teleservice environments and allow programming to all Vipa and Siemens S7 CPUs.
