12.2.1Explaining SIEMENS S7-200PLC module and wiring
12.2.1.1 SIEMENS S7-200 CPU module
12.2.1.2 The wiring of SIEMENS S7-200 CPU
The S7-200 series of small PLCs (Micro PLCs) can be used in a variety of automation systems.
The compact construction, low cost and powerful instruction sets make the S7-200 PLC an ideal
solution for a wide range of small control tasks. The variety of S7-200 products and Windows-
based programming tools give you more flexibility in your automation tasks.
The user program of the S7-200 includes bit logic, counters, timers, complex math operations,
and communication with other intelligent modules, so that it can monitor the input state and
change the output state for control purposes. The compact structure, flexible configuration and
powerful instruction set make the S7-200 an ideal solution for a wide range of control
applications.
Introduction of S7-200 series PLC
1. S7-200 series PLC system
CPU 224 type PLC structure
Classification of S7-200 series PLC:
It is divided into two sub-series, CPU 22X and CPU 21X.
Main models of CPU 22X series:
CPU 221 10- I/O points
CPU 222 14-I/O points
CPU 224 24- I/O points
CPU 226 40-I/O points
S7-200 small programmable control system composition:
The S7-200 small PLC consists of a host, also known as a CPU module (basic unit), and I/O
expansion unit, and a functional unit (module) and external equipment (text/graphics display,
programmer), etc.
S7-200 CPU The S7-200 CPU combines a microprocessor, an integrated power supply,
input circuits, and output circuits in a compact housing to create a powerful Micro PLC.
After you have downloaded your program, the S7-200 contains the logic required to
monitor and control the input and output devices in your application.

Siemens provides different S7-200 CPU models with a diversity of features and capabilities that
help you create effective solutions for your varied applications. Table 1-1 briefly compares some
