Preface
Purpose
The S7-200 series is a line of micro-programmable logic controllers (Micro PLCs)
that can control a variety of automation applications. Compact design, low cost,
and a powerful instruction set make the S7-200 controllers a perfect solution for
controlling small applications. The wide variety of CPU sizes and voltages and the
Windows-based programming tool give you the flexibility you need to solve your
automation problems.
The S7-200 product line has been redesigned to be smaller, faster, and to have
increased functionality. The new S7-200 products are intended to replace the
previous products.
This manual provides information about installing and programming the S7-200
Micro PLCs. The
S7-200 Programmable Controller System Manual
includes the
following topics:
• Installing and wiring
• Understanding the CPU operations, data types and addressing modes, scan
cycle, password protection, and network communication
• Specifications
• Descriptions and examples for the SIMATIC and IEC 11313 programming
instructions
• Using the USS Protocol Instructions to communicate with drives
• Typical execution times for SIMATIC STL instructions
Audience
This manual is designed for engineers, programmers, installers, and electricians
who have a general knowledge of programmable logic controllers.
