S7-400
If you want to leave competitors behind, you have to reliably meet the ever more sophisticated
requirements of your customers – with cost-effective solutions. For this, you can use the S7-400,
because with our innovated high-performance PLC, even ambitious aims can be achieved with
little overhead. You can integrate a host of new functions, for example, and boost the production
power of your machines or plants.
All seven CPUs of the SIMATIC® S7-400 range offer three times the processing power and twice
the communications power of the predecessor models. Complex arithmetic commands are pro-
cessed up to seventy times faster. And thanks to upward compatibility, you can use the new CPUs
immediately – without having to adapt your existing user programs or design documentation.
