General description of the System 300V
The System 300V is a modular automation system for middle and high
performance needs, that you can use either distributed or non-distributed.
The single modules are directly clipped to a 530 mm backplane and are
connected together with the help of bus clips at the backside.
The single modules of the VIPA System 300V are design compatible to
Siemens. Due to the compatible backplane bus it is no problem to mix the
modules from VIPA and Siemens.
The CPUs of the System 300V are instruction set compatible to S7-300
from Siemens. The CPUs are programmed via the VIPA programming
software WinPLC7 or the SIMATIC manager from Siemens or other
available programming tools.
