SIMATIC S7-1200
Totally Integrated Automation
The S7-1200 controller provides the flexibility and power to control a wide variety of devices
in support of your automation needs. The compact design, flexible configuration, and
powerful instruction set combine to make the S7-1200 a perfect solution for controlling a
wide variety of applications.
The CPU combines a microprocessor, an integrated power supply, input and output circuits,
built-in PROFINET, high-speed motion control I/O, and on-board analog inputs in a compact
housing to create a powerful controller. After you download your program, the CPU contains
the logic required to monitor and control the devices in your application. The CPU monitors
the inputs and changes the outputs according to the logic of your user program, which can
include Boolean logic, counting, timing, complex math operations, motion control, and
communications with other intelligent devices.
The CPU provides a PROFINET port for communication over a PROFINET network.
Additional modules are available for communicating over PROFIBUS, GPRS, RS485,
RS232, RS422, IEC, DNP3, and WDC (Wideband Data Communication) networks.

SIMATIC S7-1200: Installation and Mounting Positions
SIMATIC S7-1200: Installation and Mounting Positions
Installation
The modules are mounted on a standard mounting rail or alternatively screwed into the control
cabinet.
S7-1200 Expansion Cable
It offers additional flexibility in configuring the S7-1200 system. One expansion cable can be used
for each CPU system.
• Either between the CPU and the first SM or between two SMs
Bus Connector
It is located as a mechanical slide on the left side of the SM modules.
It is mechanically attached on the right side of the CMs/CPs.
Mounting Positions
A horizontal or vertical mounting is possible.
Caution!
With a vertical mounting, the maximum allowed ambient temperature is 10 °C lower.
Accessing the data of the S7-1200
The CPU provides several options for storing data during the execution of the user program:
● Global memory: The CPU provides a variety of specialized memory areas, including
inputs (I), outputs (Q) and bit memory (M). This memory is accessible by all code blocks
without restriction.
● PLC tag table: You can enter symbolic names in the STEP 7 PLC tag table for specific
memory locations. These tags are global to the STEP 7 program and allow programming
with names that are meaningful for your application.
● Data block (DB): You can include DBs in your user program to store data for the code
blocks. The data stored persists when the execution of the associated code block comes
to an end. A "global" DB stores data that can be used by all code blocks, while an
instance DB stores data for a specific FB and is structured by the parameters for the FB.
● Temp memory: Whenever a code block is called, the operating system of the CPU
allocates the temporary, or local, memory (L) to be used during the execution of the
block. When the execution of the code block finishes, the CPU reallocates the local
memory for the execution of other code blocks.

[email protected] CPU memory
The CPU provides the following memory areas to store the user program, data, and
configuration:
● Load memory is non-volatile storage for the user program, data and configuration. When
a project is downloaded to the CPU, it is first stored in the Load memory area. This area
is located either in a memory card (if present) or in the CPU. This non-volatile memory
area is maintained through a power loss. The memory card supports a larger storage
space than that built-in to the CPU.
● Work memory is volatile storage for some elements of the user project while executing
the user program. The CPU copies some elements of the project from load memory into
work memory. This volatile area is lost when power is removed, and is restored by the
CPU when power is restored.
● Retentive memory is non-volatile storage for a limited quantity of work memory values.
The retentive memory area is used to store the values of selected user memory locations
during power loss. When a power down or power loss occurs, the CPU restores these
retentive values upon power up.

Inserting a memory card in the CPU
Check that the memory card is not write-protected.
Slide the protection
switch away from the "Lock" position.
To insert a memory card, open the top
CPU door and insert the memory card in
the slot. A push-push type connector
allows for easy insertion and removal.
The memory card is keyed for proper
installation.
Configuring the startup parameter of the CPU before copying the project to the
memory card
When you copy a program to a transfer card or a program card, the program includes the
startup parameter for the CPU. Before copying the program to the memory card, always
ensure that you have configured the operating mode for the CPU following a power-cycle.
Select whether the CPU starts in STOP mode, RUN mode, or in the previous mode (prior to
the power cycle).
Transfer card
Program card
When used as a program card, the memory card is the external load memory of the CPU. If
you remove the program card, the internal load memory of the CPU is empty.
Firmware update
You use a memory card when downloading firmware
updates from customer support

Monitor and modify data in the CPU
Watch tables and force tables
You use "watch tables" for monitoring and modifying the values of a user program being
executed by the online CPU. You can create and save different watch tables in your project
to support a variety of test environments. This allows you to reproduce tests during
commissioning or for service and maintenance purposes.
User Blocks for the SIMATIC S7-1200
The following user blocks are provided for structured programming:
· OB (organization block):
OBs are called by the operating system cyclically and are the interface between the user program and
the operating system. In this OB, the PLC’s control unit is informed by means of block call commands as
to which program blocks it has to process.
· FB (function block):
For each call (instance), the FB needs an assigned memory area. When an FB is called, a data block
(DB) for example can be assigned to it as instance DB.
The data in this instance DB is then accessed by means of the variables of the FB.
Different memory areas have to be assigned to an FB if it called several times.
Additional FBs and FCs can be called in a function block in turn.
· FC (function):
A FC does not have an assigned memory area. The local data of a function is lost after the
function is processed.
Additional FBs and FCs can be called in a function in turn.
· DB (data block):
DBs are used to provide memory for the data variables. There are two types of data blocks: global
DBs where all OBs, FBs and FCs can read the stored data or themselves can write data into the DB,
and instance DBs that are assigned to a certain FB.

Analog Signals
Measuring ranges
At a resolution of 16 bits the theoretically possible 32768 increments are distributed across a
voltage range of 11.852 V, which means that only 27648 increments are actually available
for the resolution of a measuring range of 10 V. The minimum value which can be
represented is therefore 0.3617 mV
Example of resolution for the 0 to 10 V measuring range of a SIMATIC S7 module
Principles of analog modules
Analog value conversion
The CPU always processes the analog values in binary format.
Analog input modules convert the analog process signal to a digital format.
Analog output modules convert digital output values to analog signals
Representation of analog values at a resolution of 16 bits
The digitized analog value applies to input and output values of the same rated range.
Analog values are output as fixed point numbers with two's complement. The resultant
assignment:
Sign
The sign of the analog value is always set at bit 15:
● "0" → +
● "1" → -
Supported analog value resolutions
Binary representation of input ranges
Representation of analog values in the ±1 V to ±10 V voltage measuring range
Representation of analog values in the 0 mA to 20 mA and 4 mA to 20 mA current

APPLICATIONS:
Project 1
I need 3 pumps in a system and 2 start P.B (N.O) and 1 stop P.B(N.C)
• If you press on START P.B 1 the pump 1and 2 is working, and after pull out
your hand on the p.b start the pump1 stop and pump 2 continue in the work.
* Then press on the START P.B 2 the pump 3 is working if the pump 2 is working.
Operate Stamping of Parts
When a part is placed on the conveyor at position 1, and when a start button is
pressed it moves to position 2. Upon reaching position 2, it stops for the stamping
operation to take place. After stamping it automatically moves to position 3. It stops
at position 3, where the part is removed manually from the conveyor. Assume only
one part is on the conveyor at a time. Add limit switches, interlocks, push buttons,
etc. as required.
Final project
Station filling gasoline
