Ø CPU Overview SIMATIC S7-400

Scope of application
For the training units with S7-400 there are numerous CPUs available with a scaled set of features:
• The CPU 412-1 is the inexpensive entry into the medium performance range.
It can be used in small systems with a limited number of peripherals.
• The CPU 412-2 is the CPU for applications in the medium performance range.
• The CPU 414-2 and the CPU 414-3 are CPUs for higher demands in the medium performance range.
The integrated PROFIBUS-DP interface makes the direct connection to the field bus
PROFIBUS-DP as a master possible.
• In the case of the CPU 414-3, a further DP line can be connected via interface module IF 964-DP.
• The CPU 416-2 and the CPU 416-3 are powerful CPUs of the SIMATIC S7-400, for systems with the high
requirements of the upper performance range.
The integrated PROFIBUS-DP interfaces make the direct connection to the field bus
PROFIBUS-DP as a master possible.
In the case of the CPU 416-3, a further DP line can be connected via interface module IF 964-DP.
The CPU 417-4 DP is the most powerful CPU of the SIMATIC S7-400, for systems with the highest requirements of the
upper performance range.
The integrated PROFIBUS-DP interface makes the direct connection to the field bus
PROFIBUS-DP as a master possible.
Two more DP lines can be connected via the IF 964-DP interface modules.

Programming
The CPUs are programmed in STEP 7 V5.0 SP2 (LAD, SFC, STL), SCL, CFC, GRAPH and HiGraph.
