Comprehensive network options for SIMATIC S7-1200

• PROFINET Master – decentralized Profinet architectures possible for
I/O, HMI, drives, and other Profinet field devices. NO communication
module required!
• PROFIBUS Master & Slave – decentralized Profinet architectures
possible for I/O, drives, and other Profinet devices, including
integration into existing system networks.
• AS-i Master – The new AS-i-Master is configured in full in the TIA
Portal and a new AS-i network can be created very easily with just a
few clicks. AS-i networks do not therefore require separate software!
• CANopen Master – Enables connection with CANopen devices, as
well as with devices running Transparent CAN 2.0A.

Comprehensive network options to meet your requirements!

• Modbus TCP – Enables communication with devices as Modbus
master or slave. Only one TCP function block is required for this.
• IO-Link Master – Fast and easy integration of the SIRIUS compact
starter, M200D starter and SIRIUS soft starter for simple starter
control.
• GPRS/LTE module – Easy implementation for data recording and
control of decentralized computer.
• TCP/IP – Via the instructions for open communication you can
communicate with other CPUs, other PCs and with devices that use
TCP/IP communication protocols as standard. NO communication

Comprehensive network options for SIMATIC S7-1200

• RS-485, RS-422 & RS-232 – The S7-1200 CPU supports point-to-
point (PtP) communication for character-based serial protocols, and
this provides maximum freedom and flexibility for the use of PtP
communication instructions in the user program.
• Modbus RTU – Using the Modbus instructions the Modbus master or
slave is able to communicate with devices that use the Modbus RTU
protocol.
• USS – Using simple USS instructions you can control the operation
of drives that support the USS (Universal Serial Interface) protocol
