All VIPA systems are programmable with STEP®7
from Siemens or with WinPLC7, the programming tool from VIPA. The
VIPA systems 300S and 300V are designed for compatibility to
S7-300® from Siemens enabling mixed operation, e. g.
with CPUs from VIPA and modules from Siemens.
Systems 100V, 200V, 300V and 300S offer
solutions for centralized and decentralized applications. For
centralized use a variety of CPUs is available. Depending on the
type, the CPUs of systems 200V, 300V and 300S are equipped with an
integrated CP 343 for communication via Ethernet.
As a standard, the CPUs in system 300S are
equipped with an Ethernet Interface for PG/OP communication. For
decentral applications, CPUs with integrated Profibus DP
SlaveInterface as well as ProfibusDP, CAN, INTERBUS, Ethernet and
DeviceNet Slave Fieldbus Coupler are available.
