Components
The System 200V series consists of a number of PLC-CPUs. These are
programmed in STEP

5 or STEP

7 from Siemens.
CPUs with integrated Ethernet interfaces or additional serial interfaces
simplify the integration of the PLC into an existing network or the
connection of additional peripheral equipment.
The application program is saved in Flash or an additional plug-in memory
module.
The PC based CPU 288 can be used to implement operating/monitoring
tasks, control applications or other file processing applications.
The modules are programmed in C++ or Pascal.
The PC 288-CPU provides an active interface to the backplane bus and
can therefore be employed as central controller for all peripheral and
function modules of the VIPA System 200V.
With the appropriate expansion interface the System 200V can support up
to 4 rows.
In combination with a Profibus DP master and slave the PLC-CPUs or the
PC-CPU form the basis for a Profibus-DP network in accordance with DIN
19245-3. The DP network can be configured with WinNCS VIPA
configuration tool res. Siemens SIMATIC Manager.
Other fieldbus systems may be connected by means of slaves for Interbus,
CANopen, DeviceNet, SERCOS and Ethernet.
A large number of peripheral modules are available from VIPA, for example
digital as well as analog inputs/outputs, counter functions, displacement
sensors, positioners and serial communication modules.
These peripheral modules can be used in centralized as well as
decentralized mode.
The functionality of all VIPA system components are available via different
GSD-files.
For the Profibus interface is software standardized, we are able to
guarantee the full functionality by including a GSD-file using the Siemens
SIMATIC Manager.
For every system family there is an own GSD-file. Actual GSD files can be
found at ftp.vipa.de/support.
