Simotion C

SIMOTION C - Controller based

SIMOTION C is a Motion Controller in S7-300 modular design . It already has four interfaces for analog or stepper drives and several digital inputs and outputs onboard. The C230-2 or the C240 can also be expanded with I/O modules from the SIMATIC S7-300 range. Two PROFIBUS interfaces with PROFIdrive and an Industrial Ethernet interface provide numerous options for the communications .
Compared to the C230-2 the C240 has a higher performance, increased memory sizes and an enhanced functionality of the onboard peripherals.

SIMOTION C provides the following benefits:

Flexible use
through utilization of the SIMATIC S7 range of modules and
therefore optimum adaptation to the automation task
Universal drive link
for servo drives (digital and analog connection)
or for stepper drives
Easy to use
through user-friendly operation and
uncomplicated, fanless construction
