Compact scaleable modular automation
system
With programming options for Step7 and Step5, a range of expansion modules, and master/slave fieldbus options, the compact Vipa 200V PLC control system is a well matched to automation applications
With programming options for Step7 and Step5, an extensive range of expansion modules, and with a wide choice of master/slave fieldbus options, the compact Vipa System 200V PLC control system is a well matched, scaleable solution for small to medium sized, centralised or decentralised automation applications The 35 mm DIN rail mounted System 200V includes an expandable backplane bus connector system and has a module height of only 76 mm with nominal module widths of 25mm and 50 mm - its compact size allows use in space restricted applications and convenient cage-clamp (spring-clip) terminations ensure quick and trouble free installation

Low cost, compact PLC for small fast automation
The new compact, fixed I/O PLCs based upon Vipa Speed7 technology offer the fastest PLC programmable with Siemens Step7: giving ultra high speed solutions for small automation applications
These CPUs feature a real time clock, and additional memory expansion is available via standard MMC modules.
For centralised applications, up to 32 modules may be directly connected to the main CPU and for distributed control, separate fieldbus-master modules are available for CANopen and Profibus-DP.
In addition, fieldbus-slave modules for CANopen, Profibus-DP, Interbus, DeviceNet and TCP/IP form an integral part of the range.
Power supply options include 24V/48W units with and without distribution terminals and separate power terminal modules with 2 or 3 wire connection are available for stand-alone applications.
A very wide range of digital and analogue input and output modules in a variety of configurations ensures that I/O is closely matched to application requirements with little wastage.
I/O modules from the Vipa ECOnomical range are also available with very competitive pricing for mid-range functionality and smaller automation applications.
Communication processor modules include RS232, RS485, Modbus, and enOcean, a 4-tier mini switch for 10/100 Ethernet is also available for system expansion.
Function modules include both stepper and servo motor controls.
The comprehensive CE and UL approved range is completed with a PC-CPU further extending the distributed control potential of the System 200V and a wide range of accessories available include connection cables, bus connectors and DIN rails.
