• 950.032.800 Process Simulation Panel for PLC S7-1200

General Description

The PLC Process Simulation Panel provides a practical and efficient solution for simulating industrial processes without the need for PC-based software. Output signals are visualized directly through LEDs, running lights, a 7-segment display, and an acoustic buzzer.

This system is ideal for training, testing, and validating PLC programs in both educational and industrial environments.

Included Process Simulations

The panel includes multiple pre-configured process simulations:

• Star-Delta Connection
• Staircase Lighting
• Intruder Alarm System
• Traffic Lights (traffic-dependent and independent)
• Conveyor Belt with Buffer Storage
• Segment Gate Control
• Machining Station
• Bottling Plant
• Mixing Vessel

Compatibility and Integration

The panel is equipped with a DIN rail for mounting Siemens PLCs, including:

• Siemens S7-1200 (e.g., S7-1215C DC/DC/DC)
• Siemens S7-1500 (e.g., S7-1512C-1PN)
• ET200S for decentralized control

It can also be controlled using an external PLC via 4 mm input/output connectors.
