Two new CPUs will expand the successful SLIO system of the automation suppler, VIPA, from next year.
The programmable logic controllers are based on the latest SPEED7 technology of the subsidiary profichip.
This even more efficient chip again considerably increases the already fast access times of its predecessor.
Coupled with the powerful 48 Mbit /s backplane bus, which, in conjunction with ETS modules, can switch chronologically precisely to +-1µs, this an unbeatable feature. Naturally the new SLIO CPUs are programmable with the Step7 code, which helps you to keep your know-how.
The easy and user-friendly configuration of the CPUs can be carried out via the new VIPA SPEED7 Studio, which will also be presented at the SPS/IPC/DRIVES. Through its intelligent and unique memory management, it is possible to expand the memory of the CPU up to 512 kB during running operation (depending on the version).
VIPA provides with the SPEED7 Studio an engineering tool that displays the entire automation process from the hardware configuration, communication and programming up to visualization and this with emphasis on user-friendliness and efficiency. Intuitive user interfaces allow immediate entry into the various modules – so additional tools of other suppliers for hardware configuration, for networking of different fieldbuses and the programming or the visualization and operating of the plant are not necessary.
