Constantly new functions for meeting the highest demands

SIMATIC controllers offer more than just powerful hardware for controlling all types of machines and plants. The capabilities of SIMATIC controllers are constantly being expanded with new functions. In addition, they are a core element for vertical OT/IT integration with IT mechanisms. Future technologies such as AI and Edge are anticipated and integrated. This makes SIMATIC Controllers the perfect basis for innovative solutions and an essential part of our Totally Integrated Automation approach.

Whether you need compact controller solutions with integrated functions, powerful controllers for the highest demands, or controllers for distributed architectures or PC-based automation:
Our SIMATIC controller portfolio has the right PLC for your requirements.

In addition to scalability every controller provides consistent system functions like efficient engineering, high performance, innovative design, versatile diagnostics, Safety Integrated, Technology Integrated, and Security Integrated.

This allows flexibility while designing and adapting automation solutions without the need for building know-how over and over again.
Each machine and plant have individual requirements regarding system performance and application complexity. You can find the right controller for your application in our SIMATIC controller portfolio.

Typical of this application:
Compressors, compressed-air technology, and vacuum technology are found in many industries and processes. The following features are important for control technology:
• Small- to medium-quantity framework
A small number of I/Os, signal processing is performed in the lower to medium performance range.
• Comprehensive communication options
Compressors, compressed-air technology, and vacuum technology require different interfaces.
• Integrated technology functions
Compressors, compressed-air technology, and vacuum technology require integrated closedloop control in the form of PID controllers.
