Communication via remote networks


For telecontrol and teleservice applications, communica-

includes network components for wired and wireless com-

why our communication components provide comprehen-
sive security measures such as a firewall and VPN.

Modular RTUs with SIMATIC S7-1200

Modular remote terminal units based on SIMATIC S7-1200 are ideal for applications with a low degree of automa-
tion. They are inexpensive and are characterized by their small and compact hardware design. The remote termi-
nal unit usually consists of a local SIMATIC S7-1200 controller and a communication module a communication
processor (CP). The communication processors have the same design as the SIMATIC S7-1200. They are plugged
directly into the controller and connected via the backplane. They enable cyclical and event-driven transmission
of measured values and setpoints, as well as alarms between the remote terminal unit and the control center.
The CPs not only make smooth data transfer possible, they also offer comprehensive diagnostic options for quick
and meaningful analysis of the station status.
