Overview of S7-1200 Digital modules
Application of S7-1200 Digital modules
Digital expansion modules provide the option for using further digital inputs/outputs in addition to the existing integral digital inputs/outputs.
This provides users with the following advantages:
Optimal adaptation:
with signal modules which can be mixed as desired, users can adapt their controllers exactly to the relevant task. This avoids superfluous investments. Modules with 8, 16, and 32 input/output channels are available
signal boards can be used where space is limited or if only a few additional inputs/outputs are required. Each S7-1200 CPU can be modularly expanded by a signal board. This does not increase the mounting space required for the controller
Flexibility:
If the task is expanded subsequently, the controller can be upgraded. Updating of the user program is extremely simple
