S7-1200 expansion modules
Type of module
The CPU supports one plug-in
expansion board:
A signal board (SB) provides
•
additional I/O for your CPU.
The SB connects on the front of
the CPU.
A communication board (CB)
•
allows you to add another
communication port to your
CPU.
A battery board (BB) allows you
•
to provide long term backup of
the realtime clock.
Signal modules (SMs) add
additional functionality to the CPU.
SMs connect to the right side of the
CPU.
Digital I/O
•
Analog I/O
•
RTD and thermocouple
•
SM 1278 IO-Link Master
•
Communication modules (CMs)
and communications processors
(CPs) add communication options
to the CPU, such as for
PROFIBUS or RS232/RS485
connectivity (for PtP, Modbus or
USS), or the AS-i master. A CP
provides capabilities for other types
of communication, such as to
connect the CPU over a GPRS
network.
The CPU supports up to 3 CMs
•
or CPs
Each CM or CP connects to the
•
left side of the CPU (or to the
left side of another CM or CP)
