SIMATIC S7-1200 Power Module PM1207 Stabilized power supply

S7-1200 Power Supply

The SIMATIC PM 1207 single-phase power supply with automatic range selection of the input voltage is an optimal match to the SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC. It provides the supply to CPUs with 24 V input as well as to signal modules, and to 24 V loads connected to the modules.

Features and Benefits

Connection to all single-phase networks (120 V ac/230 V ac) through automatic range switching Short-term power failure backup
Parallel connection of two load current supplies for enhanced performance
The load current supplies are directly fastened to the S7-1200 mounting rail and can be mounted directly to the left of the CPU (no installation clearance required)
Green LED for status indicator 24 V OK
Two 24 V DC output terminals for connection of 24 V consumers

Product Application Information

The SIMATIC S7-1200 has comprehensive certifications, such as UL, ATEX and DNV GL enabling universal use in various industries.

Why use a DIN Rail power supply?

The flexibility of DIN Rail mounting systems enables quicker installation time as all devices are able to simply snap onto the metal rails. Power supplies can be easily organised on DIN Rails within enclosed wall boxes or in areas where there is limited space. Similar devices can be mounted next to each other reducing the amount of cabling required. Most power supplies are convection cooled so no cooling fans are needed.
DIN Rail AC to DC power supplies are widely used in many automation, instrumentation and industrial applications. They are used to power a wide variety of DC operated devices including sensors, motors, actuators, solenoids, relays and many more.

Points to consider when buying a DIN Rail power supply

DIN Rail size – There are three common types of DIN Rails. Top Hat, G section and C section. Most have a depth of 7.5 mm or 15 mm. It is wise to check that your power supply is compatible with your DIN Rail. Protection types – It is important to choose a power supply that is protected against either short circuit, overload, over temperature or over voltage. Some power supplies also offer a hiccup mode which will allow the PSU to resume operation once the fault is cleared.
Fixed or adjustable output voltage or current – In test systems it is often convenient to have adjustable DC voltage however in other applications a fixed DC supply may be essential.
Cabling and wiring – The input/output lines to and from the power supply should be as short as possible with a large cross sectional area to help minimise noise and heat.
Efficiency – Choose a power supply that has a high efficiency to minimise the amount of power dissipation, especially if the system relies on convection cooling.
Input voltage range – If the DIN Rail power supply you are buying is to be used in Europe and North America as well as the UK then a universal AC input range of 80 V ac to 264 V ac is required.
Standards – If the power supply is to be used in the USA for controlling electric motors then it will need to comply with Standard UL508, the safety standard for industrial control equipment.
