Performance-optimized automation systems for the process industry

CPU 410-5H

The innovative CPU 410-5H Process Automation is currently the fastest and most powerful controller with support for redundant PROFINET configurations and Field Interface Security for process automation. It thus covers the entire performance range of the conventional SIMATIC S7-400-based automation systems AS 412 to AS 417.

CPU 410E

Your controller for smaller SIMATIC PCS 7 applications: The CPU 410 E is specially designed for process automation with SIMATIC PCS 7 and can be used flexibly with its robust high-performance hardware – even under demanding conditions. Two PROFINET and one PROFIBUS interface enable communication from the control level right into the field.

The modular standard automation system (AS 410S) is suitable for universal use. It is always the first choice if high availability in the form of redundancy or security functions is not relevant for the application. In the range from 100 to about 2,600 PO, their performance can be tailored to the individual task using the System Expansion Card.

The aim in using a high availability automation system is to minimize the risk of a production outage. The high investment costs for a high-availability automation system are often negligible in comparison to the costs involved in the loss of production. The higher the costs resulting from production stoppage, the more advisable the use of a high-availability system.

Critical applications in which a fault could endanger human life, or damage the plant or the environment necessitate a safety-focused automation system. Working with the fail-safe F modules in the ET 200 distributed I/O systems, or directly via fail-safe transmitters connected to the fieldbus, this detects both errors in the process and internal errors. The fail-safe automation system with its fail-safe I/O modules automatically brings the plant to a safe state when a fault occurs.

The automation systems with complementary SIMATIC S7-400 CPUs are always the first choice if high availability in the form of redundancy or security functions is not relevant for the application.

The high-availability S7-400H controllers are your insurance against costly plant downtimes. With the complementary SIMATIC S7-400H CPUs, Siemens offers high-availability automation systems that minimize the probability of a production downtime to 0% – and thus make a decisive contribution to maximum productivity. The SIMATIC S7-400H ensures your plant will remain in operation, thus avoiding production outages.

The fail-safe automation systems in the SIMATIC S7-400FH represent functional safety in your business. They meet the most stringent safety requirements, even for critical applications in which a fault could endanger human life, or damage the plant or the environment. These F systems identify critical status situations in the plant at an early stage and automatically bring the plant to a safe state if necessary.
