300S: CPUs

Controllers of the 300S+ system - called CPUs (Central Processing Units) - control and regulate processes in plant and machinery. The CPUs are selected according to application with the appropriate performance and work memory and can be extended with signal and function modules, as well as communication processors.

The System 300S+ CPUs are designed command compatible to Siemens STEP7 and can be selected with the appropriate performance and flexibly expandable work memory (up to 8 MB) and extended with signal and function modules as well as communication processors, depending on the application area.

The 300S+ CPUs are based on the SPEED7 technology. Here, the CPU is supported by co-processors. The integrated SPEED7 ASIC system is among the world's fastest automation systems.

A wide range of CPU options makes the system universally deployable: From C-class CPUs with integrated I/O peripherals for smaller applications, and thanks to an excellent price/performance ratio also for price-sensitive applications, up to the large CPU versions with integrated Ethernet, PROFINET, fieldbus master interfaces, and high-speed bus. These large CPU versions ensure for a high processing speed and thus short machine cycle times due to their SPEED7 performance, and are therefore particularly suitable for complex control and automation tasks in the manufacturing and process industries.
