Siemens S7 400 PLC
SIMATIC S7-400 Series
Siemens *S7-400 PLC
The SIMATIC S7-400 is the most powerful Automation System within SIMATIC — a high-performance process controller with superb communication capability and integrated interfaces.
Ideal for the coordination of entire systems, the graded range of CPUs enables scalable performance. Process controller signal modules can be inserted and removed while the system is live (hot swapping).
Hot Swapping Capability
Signal modules can be inserted and removed while the system is live — making it very easy to expand the system or replace modules without production stops.

Why S7-400?
The *Powerhouse of SIMATIC
Virtually Unlimited I/O
The capacity for I/O periphery is virtually unlimited — perfect for large-scale process control and complete system coordination.
Live Hot Swapping
Signal modules can be inserted and removed while the system is running — expand or replace modules without interrupting production.
Scalable CPU Range
Graded range of CPUs enables scalable performance to match the exact demands of your automation task — from basic to extremely complex.
