With the VIPA “Speed7 Technology”, system 500S is the fastest control system, programmable with Step®7 from Siemens, in the world. The maximum memory for program and data has already been integrated into the SPEED7 CPUs. Depending on the CPU type, the integrated memory can be expanded up to 8MByte respectively using the appropriate VIPA MCC - Memory extansion card.

The VIPA system 500S has been designed for operation in a PC slot with PCI interface. An OPC server for communication between CPU and PC is included in the scope of delivery. Peripherals are connected through the integrated Profibus-DP-Master interface.

The CPUs are equipped with an Ethernet interface for PG/OP communication. The CPU 517S/NET has an additional CP343 for TCP/IP communication. Owing to their high performance (Speed7 Technology) and their scaleable memory, the CPUs are suitable for complex control tasks.

Features of VIPA System 500S:
• Programmable with WinPLC7 from VIPA
• Programmable with Step®7 from Siemens
• Integrated work memory – operation is possible without additional memory card!
• Flexible extension of the memory using a Memory Configuration Card (MCC) for the desired upgrade
• Integrated battery backed RAM memory
• Real-time clockSupports standard MMC cards for saving of programme and data
• Ethernet-, Profibus-DP and MPI interface on board
• OPC server included
• 24 months warranty
• UL-standard certification
