Embedded controller

The Simatic S7-mEC embedded controller and EM PC and EM PCI-104 expansion modules facilitate the connection of Simatic S7 to PCs.

The controller is a turnkey automation solution with integrated software, so no software is required during commissioning, making it easier to configure. I/Os can be directly connected via standard modules in the central rack or remotely via Profinet or Profibus.

The EM PC module enables PLC data to be used directly for further evaluations of production data. Onboard interfaces enable a monitor to be connected in addition to operator panels or thin-client solutions. If considerable distances exist between the controller and the visualisation device, a thin-client is recommended.

The EM PCI-104 expansion module permits scalability, enabling fieldbus modules for Profibus to be connected via high-speed I/O cards or cards for special applications, such as sound cards for the output of spoken operating instructions in the event of error messages or when re-equipping a machine.
