PLC: SIEMENS STEP 7 WITH SIMATIC MANAGER V5.5 The Siemens product line of PLC’s mimic that of the Allen Bradley SLC 500, PLC 5 and Control Logix’s 5000. Since industry has had familiarity with AB PLCs for years, reference will be made to assist in understanding how Siemens addresses PLC functions. This class will be focusing on the S7-300 with mention of the S7-400 as well as discussion relating to the S7-1200 Safety Integrated (SI) PLC that complements both the S7-300 and 400
