Modular SIMATIC controllers are optimized for control tasks
and can be adapted to meet application requirements using
plug-in modules for input/output (I/O), special functions, and
communications. Examples of products in this category include:
LOGO!, S7-200, and S7-1200 micro automation products,
S7-300 and S7-400 modular system PLCs, C7 combination
controller and panel, and ET 200 distributed I/O system with
local intelligence.

Other SIMATIC Controllers SIMATIC embedded automation products are available in
a microbox, panel PC, or multi-functional PC-based system.
All products utilize rugged, fan-free, diskless hardware
platforms with an operating system optimized for each
platform. Examples of products in this category include:
Microbox 420-RTX, Microbox 420-T, Panel PC 477-HMI/RTX, and
WinAC MP.
SIMATIC PC-based controllers are available as software that
can run on standard PC systems or in a plug-in card (slot PLC)
for increased reliability. This category includes WinAC software
and WinAC slot PLC.
SIMATIC Software SIMATIC software is the universal configuring and
programming environment for SIMATIC controllers, human
machine interface systems, and process control systems.
SIMATIC software with
STEP 7 and numerous engineering
tools supports all phases of product deployment, from
hardware configuration of the system and parameterization
of modules to service of the installed system. A variety
of programming options are available. This includes basic
programming languages (Instruction List, Ladder Diagram,
and Function Block Diagram), high-level languages (Structured
Text and Sequential Function Chart), and engineering tools
(S7 Structured Control Language, S7-Graph, S7-PLCSIM, S7-
HiGraph, and Continuous Function Chart).
