It could be argued that, despite the legacy Siemens S5 range of PLCs one of the most popular automation systems remain on this planet, with a large number of manufacturers around the world still in the technology.
Manufactured and sold by Siemens AG, Siemens SIMATIC S5 area for the first time shown at the Hanover Fair 1979 in preview and has established itself quickly became a popular machine manufacturers, system integrators, panelManufacturers and distributors of automation. During the early 1980's automation customers demanding increased functionality of the system and the SIMATIC S5 area were the answer.
Programmable Logic Controller
Available in a variety of different styles of chassis (90U, 95U, 101U, 100U, 115U, 135U, and 155U), the Siemens S5 gave users the choice between multiple CPUs, memory types, I / O, power, communications , interface modules and function blocks. These options may S5 configured to produce user must be adapted andBudget. A general rule is, the greater the S5 chassis number, the more demanding and more expensive system. Siemens SIMATIC S5 are versatile and can be used in any number of industries and functions.
In the mid-80 Siemens S5 programming much easier with the introduction of graphic operator panels and programming tools such as step 5 Step 5 is a PC-based software programming environment, which is the main instrument for programming, testing and commissioning service,SIEMENS SIMATIC S5 programs for auditors. The original versions were about 5 of the CPM operating system. Later versions ran in MS-DOS and then Windows versions through Windows XP. The final version of Step 5 is version 7.2. No further development of this line of products has occurred since then, announced, due to its obsolescence.
Despite the legacy Siemens S5 remains a popular platform and can be installed around the world are in thousands of factories. MoreYou must Siemens Simatic S7, the latest generation of programmable controllers from the migration of Siemens AG.
