The compact CPU 1214C has:

• 3 device versions with different power supply and control voltages.
• Integrated power supply either as wide-range AC or DC power supply (85 ... 264 V AC or 24 V DC)
• Integrated 24 V encoder/load current supply:
  For direct connection of sensors and encoders. With a 400 mA output current, it can also be used as load power supply.
• 14 integrated digital inputs 24 V DC (current sinking/sourcing input (IEC type 1 current sinking)).
• 10 integrated digital outputs, either 24 V DC or relay.
• 2 integrated analog inputs 0 ... 10 V.
• 2 pulse outputs (PTO) with a frequency of up to 100 kHz.
• Pulse-width modulated outputs (PWM) with a frequency of up to 100 kHz.
• Integrated Ethernet interface (TCP/IP native, ISO-on-TCP).
• 6 fast counters (3 with max. 100 kHz; 3 with max. 30 kHz), with parameterizable enable and reset inputs, can be used simultaneously as up and down counters with 2 separate inputs or for connecting incremental encoders.
• Expansion by additional communication interfaces, e.g. RS485 or RS232.
• Expansion by analog or digital signals directly on the CPU via signal board (with retention of CPU mounting dimensions).
• Expansion by a wide range of analog and digital input and output signals via signal modules.
• Optional memory expansion (SIMATIC Memory Card).
• PID controller with auto-tuning functionality.
• Integral real-time clock.
• Interrupt inputs:
  For extremely fast response to rising or falling edges of process signals.
• Removable terminals on all modules.
• Simulator (optional):
  For simulating the integrated inputs and for testing the user program

  Function

  • Comprehensive instruction set:
    A wide range of operations facilitates programming:
    • Basic operations such as binary logic operations, result allocation, save, count, create times, load, transfer, compare, shift, rotate, create complement, call subprogram (with local variables)
    • Integral communication commands (e.g. USS protocol, Modbus RTU, S7 communication "T-Send/T-Receive" or Freeport)
    • User-friendly functions such as pulse-width modulation, pulse sequence function, arithmetic functions, floating point arithmetic, PID closed-loop control, jump functions, loop functions and code conversions
    • Mathematical functions, e.g. SIN, COS, TAN, LN, EXP
  • Counting:
    User-friendly counting functions in conjunction with the integrated counters and special commands for high-speed counters open up new application areas for the user.
  • Interrupt processing:
    • Edge-triggered interrupts (activated by rising or falling edges of process signals on interrupt inputs) support a rapid response to process events.
    • Time-triggered interrupts.
    • Counter interrupts can be triggered when a setpoint is reached or when the direction of counting changes.
    • Communication interrupts allow the rapid and easy exchange of information with peripheral devices such as printers or bar code readers.
  • Password protection
  • Test and diagnostics functions:
    Easy-to-use functions support testing and diagnostics, e.g. online/offline diagnostics.
  • "Forcing" of inputs and outputs during testing and diagnostics:
    Inputs and outputs can be set independently of cycle and thus permanently, for example, to test the user program.
  • Motion Control in accordance with PLCopen for simple movements.
  • Library functionality
•
