Siemens SIMATIC DP Series PLC CPU, 2-Input2 Outputs

Use this efficient entry-level CPU (central processing unit) from Siemens for production technology applications with medium processing and response-speed requirements. It's suitable to use as a PROFINET I/O (input/output) controller or as a distributed intelligence device with the ability to pre-process data locally and deliver relevant data to a higher-level PLC (programmable logic controller). This allows for faster setup, quicker response times to critical signals and a reduced load on the central PLC. The CPU offers comprehensive control functions via easy-to-configure blocks, as well as the ability to connect drives using standardised PLC open blocks.

• Less load on the bus system due to smaller data volumes

The unit is designed as a 3-port switch to allow for a linear topology set-up via port one and two. A programming device, such as a personal computer, can be conveniently connected to the third port.
