PLC claimed to be fastest programmable in STEP7

Claimed to be the fastest STEP7 programmable automation system, a PLC offers OPC server, PG-/OP- Ethernet, Profibus-DP Master and optional CP343.

The System 500S, PC based PLC is part of a range of automation solutions from VIPA that are fully compatible with the Siemens STEP7 programming language.

It offers processing speeds that exceed the industry-leaders own products.

Based upon SPEED7 technology, developed by VIPA's German sister company Profichip, the processing power of these ultra-fast CPU's exceeds 50K instructions in under 1 microsec.

The System 500S is competitively priced and has PCI bus interfacing.

It also has integral Ethernet for PG-/OP- communication, Profibus-DP Master, MPI-Interface, OPC Server and the optional CP343 interface for advanced Ethernet processing applications.

The KA range of 500S CPUs is available with integrated programming and data memory from 256kB to 512kB to match application requirements.

Optional MCC memory cards from 32kB to 8MB ensure that automation systems may be adapted and expanded if required.

The System 500S includes the world-wide OPC standard for data exchange between software and components to guarantee that integration with third party products and SCADA based systems is both fast and trouble free.

The Profibus-DP Master interface allows connection of up to 125 slave devices from VIPA's own range of modules or with third party modules to suit the most complex processing and data intensive applications.

The German manufactured System 500S may be programmed with VIPA's own WinPLC7 with hardware configuration and diagnosis tools included for Profibus-DP and Ethernet networking.

Alternatively, the 500S will run complete STEP7 software and associated tools.

Users who are concerned about combined product issues are assured that VIPA and its partners are able to offer technical support for mixed systems.

Furthermore, without the need to retrain STEP7 programmers and automation system designers, minimal cost to switch to VIPA's ultra-fast SPEED7 Technology is assured.

Also available with SPEED7 technology is VIPA's DIN rail mounted System 300S PLC for centralised and decentralised automation applications covering a wide range of ultra-high speed processors with scalable memory configurations that can be flexibly and economically matched with modules from both VIPA and Siemens with complete hardware pin compatible with S7-300 components.
