2. Integrating the S7-1200 into your Product Lifecycle
Lifecycle Management of Automation Equipment
Depends on demand for end products or automated process
Depends on technology innovations
Depends on the return on investment on your machine
Changes should be your decision based on your business!
When should you consider the S7-1200?
When it makes sense in your Product Lifecycle
To improve your processes
To improve your competitiveness
To improve your profitability
Does the S make sense for you?
Can you benefit from the new S innovations?
Does your application fit the current S capabilities?

3. Can you benefit from the new S7-1200 innovations?
New S offers the following benefits over the S7-200
Integrated PROFINET (Industrial Ethernet)
Reduces hardware costs
More functionality on the lower end modules
Not forced to buy more expensive controller for additional ports or analog
New I/O modules have stacked terminal blocks
Saves space in the cabinet
Reduces panel costs
Removable connectors for all hardware
Simplifies Maintenance
More built in functionality
Increased number of PID loops
Increased performance and available memory
High Precision Instructions (64-Bit Real)
STEP 7 Basic - Integrated Software Environment for Controller and HMI
Reduces development costs

4. Integrating the S7-1200 into your Product Lifecycle
The S product family will be launched in several phases
During each phase, more functionality/products will be added to the family.
It will take some time before the S can realize all the application spaces that the S7-200 can accomplish today.
The S7-200 system family is an important part of our mainstream product range and the system will remain available as a mainstream product at least up to 2012.
If it is decided to phase out the S7-200 system, it will remain available as a replacement part and supported for 10 years following the phase out announcement.

5. Does your application fit the current S7-1200 capabilities?
Overview: S st Release Limitations (in order of importance)
No AC-Inputs
No Text Display (TD) compatibility
No Temperature (RTD/Thermocouple) modules
No High-Density Analog I/O modules
No IT module (no , no std or configurable web server, no ftp)
No Profibus Slave, No ASi, No SIWAREX modules
No Retentive Data after a program edit/download (every download erases all data “Cold Start”)
No Bumpless Runtime Edits
No Data Logging or Recipes to/from a *.CSV file
No 10A isolated relay module
No High-Density 32-DI/32-DO/Rly discrete modules
When compared to the S7-200, here are the deficiencies in the S at 1st Release. This list we feel is order of importance.
