Scalability

The SIMATIC 505 family of PLC's includes a full range of CPU's and I/O providing cost effective control solutions for a typical machine to a large process plant. There are 4 different CPUs to chose from which can be installed in any of three different chassis that can hold 4, 8 and 16 modules in addition to the power supply and CPU. An 11 slot chassis is also available that provides for redundant power supplies. A Remote Base Controller or RBC can be installed in place of the CPU in any chassis to convert it to a remote base for operation on either PROFIBUS-DP or the standard 505 I/O channel.

Compatibility

All 505 CPUs have the same form factor, use the same programming package and are programmed with the same instruction set. Since the programs you write for the smallest controller are totally upward compatible, you only have to learn one programming method and you can easily upgrade to a larger controller when needed. Also, this emphasis on compatibility gives you the added advantage of being able to easily migrate from previous PLC generations such as the Series 500 and 560/565.

Built-in Features and Instructions Reduce Programming Time

All 505 CPU's offer powerful features like:

• Fill-in-the-blank PID loops and Analog Alarms
• Ramp-soak Profiles for loop set points
• Special Function programs and subroutines
• As well as hundreds of RLL instructions from math to table processing functions which allow you to optimize your process with a minimum of programming effort
• In addition, the new 555 CPUs included PowerMath™ that puts a Floating Point Math Coprocessor at your command and automatically compiles your high-level Special
• Function programs so they can operate in-line with RLL and lightning fast

PROFIBUS-DP Gives You Open I/O Connectivity

The 505 System now offers the unmatched advantage of PROFIBUS-DP support on all CPU's which provides a high-speed (12 Mbaud) plug-and-play link to all current Siemens I/O families as well as third-party I/O and hundreds of other commonly used devices such as weigh scales, drives and vision systems. Check out the PTO web page at www.profibus.com to see the extensive, ever increasing list of vendors and I/O products that can now be instantly connected to any current SIMATIC® 505 system.

505 PLCs Can Send Email Messages

Both 545 and 555 CPUs can be interconnected with your system via all popular networks including Ethernet. But these PLCs go a step further by offering Internet-Ready Ethernet with Email message generation that is event-driven by the PLC. Now your machine can Email or Page your Maintenance Department itself when service is needed!

SoftShop™ Programming with Built-in Logging & Trending

505 CPU's are programmed using the powerful new 505 SoftShop 32-bit Windows based programming package. In additional to all the time-saving features you would expect, SoftShop now includes Built-in Data Point Logging and Trending Functions that are sure to save trouble-shooting time on your next startup.
