New con-
tents
Compact CPUs
You can use compact CPUs for smaller to
medium-sized applications The compact
CPUs have integrated analog and digital on-
board I/O as well as integrated technology
functions.
Starting from section System
Technology CPUs
You can use technology CPUs for demanding
applications. Technology CPUs are equipped
with expanded motion control functions.
Starting from section System
Fail-safe modules
With fail-safe modules, you replace the con-
ventional safety engineering technical setup.
Among other things, this involves replace-
ment of switching devices for EMERGENCY
OFF, protective door monitoring and two-
hand operation.
Starting from section System
Formatting, erasing or con-
verting a SIMATIC memory
card via the display

contents
Asynchronous instructions
You are given an overview of the resource
consumption of asynchronous instructions.
This ensures adequate resources in the CPU.
Configuration control
Configuration control provides you with the
following advantages:
•
Different configuration levels of a standard
machine can be handled in a single pro-
ject.
•
No changes to the hardware configuration
or user program are needed.
•
Flexibility to vary the central-
ized/decentralized structure of a system.
•
Easy handling during maintenance, ver-
sioning and upgrades.
•
Hardware savings: You only use the I/O
modules that you currently need.
•
Potential savings when building, commis-
sioning and creating documentation for
standard machines.
