21/02/2015
Several performance-graded CPUs and a comprehensive range of modules with a host of user-friendly functions allow you to use
only those modules necessary for your application. In the case of task expansions, the controller can be upgraded at any time by
means of additional modules.
The SIMATIC S7-300 is universal in use:
Maximum suitability for industry thanks to high electromagnetic compatibility and high resistance to shock and vibration.
S7-300F
The SIMATIC S7-300F fail-safe automation system is used in plants with increased safety requirements. It controls processes
where immediate shutdown presents no danger to personnel or the environment.
The S7-300F meets the following safety requirements:
Requirement class AK 1 to AK 6 in accordance with DIN V 19250/DIN V VDE 0801
Safety requirement class SIL 1 to SIL 3 in accordance with IEC 61508
Category 1 to 4 in accordance with EN 954-1
In addition, standard modules can be used in the S7-300F as well as the fail-safe modules. This makes it possible to establish a
fully integrated control system for a plant where non-safety related tasks and safety-related tasks co-exist. The overall plant is
configured and programmed with the same standard tools.
Design
S7-300
General
The S7-300 automation system is modular in design. It has a comprehensive range of modules that can be combined individually.
A system includes the following:
A CPU:
Different CPUs are available for different performance ranges, including CPUs with integral inputs/outputs and the
corresponding functions, as well as CPUs with integral PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET and point-to-point interfaces.
Signal modules (SMs) for digital and analog inputs/outputs.
Communications processors (CPs) for bus connection and point-to-point connections.
Function modules (FMs) for high-speed counting, positioning (open-loop/closed-loop) and PID control.
The SIMATIC S7-300 can be operated with up to 32 modules distributed across the CC and 3 EUs. All modules can be
operated in enclosures and without fans.
SIPLUS modules for extended environmental conditions:
suitable for temperature range -25 to +60 C, and higher humidity, condensation and frost loads. Can be used direct on
vehicles or outside building in an IP20 cabinet protected against direct sunlight and rainwater/spray water. Air-conditioned
cabinet and IP65 housing not required.
Design
Simple design makes the S7-300 flexible and service-friendly:
Module mounting:
Simply hang the modules on the mounting rail, swing them into place and screw into position.
Integral backplane bus:
The backplane bus is integrated into the modules. The modules are connected via bus connectors plugged into the rear
of the housings.
Simple replacement of the modules with mechanical key coding:
Only the fixing screw of the modules has to be unscrewed to replace the module. Wired front connectors are easy to
release by pressing on the locking mechanism. The front connector coding prevents connection of the wired front
connector to the wrong module type.
Field-proven connections:
21/02/2015
Screw-type, spring-loaded or insulation-displacement front connectors are offered for the signal modules.
TOP Connect:
This offers pre-assembled wiring with 1-core to 3-core connections and screw-type or spring-loaded terminals. Alternative
to wiring direct on the signal module.
Defined installation depth:
All connections and connectors are recessed into the modules and protected and covered by front doors. All modules
thus have a defined installation depth.
No slot rules:
Signal modules and communications processors can be connected in any way without restrictions. The system
configures itself.
Expansion
If users require more than 8slots SM, FM or CP modules for their automation tasks, the S7-300 (except CPU312 and
CPU312C) can be expanded:
Max. 32 modules on CC and 3 EUs:
In total, a maximum of 3 expansion units (EUs) can be connected to the central controller (CC). Eight modules can be
connected to each CC/EU.
Connection via interface modules:
Each CC/EU has its own interface module. It is always plugged into the slot next to the CPU on the CC, and it handles
communication with the EUs autonomously.
Expansion via IM 365:
3 EUs, max. distance between CC and EU and between EU and EU, 10 m in each case.
Physically separate installation:
The individual CCs/EUs can also be installed at greater distances from each other. Distance between two neighboring
CC/EU or EU/EU: max. 10 m.
Flexible mounting options:
The CCs/EUs can be mounted horizontally or vertically. They can thus adapt optimally to the available space.
Communication
The S7-300 has different communication interfaces:
Communications processors for connecting to the bus systems AS-Interface, PROFIBUS and PROFINET/Industrial
Ethernet.
Communications processors for point-to-point connections.
Multipoint interface (MPI ), integrated into the CPU;
the low-cost solution for simultaneous connection of PGs/PCs, HMI systems and other SIMATIC S7/C7 automation
systems.
For performance reasons, no more than 2 masters must be connected on one line.
21/02/2015
Although PG/PCs with STEP7 or OPs are masters on the bus, they only use the MPI functions that also run in part via
PROFIBUSDP.
Special blocks are included in the scope of supply of the manuals for the communication functions.
With the "Global data communication" service, networked CPUs can exchange data with each other cyclically. An S7-300
21/02/2015
CPU can exchange up to 4 packets of 22 bytes each, with a maximum of 16 CPUs participating in the data exchange
(with STEP 7 V4.x).
This allows, for example, one CPU to access the inputs/outputs of another CPU. Global data communication can only
take place via the MPI interface.
Internal communications bus (C bus):
The MPI of the CPU is connected direct with the C bus of the S7-300. FM/CP modules with C bus connection can thus be
addressed direct from the PG via the MPI.
Powerful communications technology:
Up to 32 MPI nodes.
Several communication connections per CPU for S7 basic communication with the SIMATIC S7-300/-400.
Several communication connections per CPU for S7 communication with PGs/PCs, SIMATIC HMI systems, and the
SIMATIC S7-300/400.
Data transfer rate 187.5 kbit/s or 12 Mbit/s
Flexible configuration options:
Field-proven components are used to establish MPI communication: Bus cable, bus connectors and RS 485 repeaters
from the PROFIBUS and "distributed I/O" ranges. They enable optimal adaptation of the design to the requirements. For
example, up to 10 repeaters can be switched in series to bridge larger distances between any two MPI nodes.
S7-300F
The S7-300F can be operated with two I/O designs:
Design with I/O in ET 200M:
Fail-safe digital/analog input and output modules for centralized or distributed use (Cat.4/SIL3 only in conjunction with
isolating module).
Design with I/O in ET 200S PROFIsafe:
Function
S7-300
A host of features support users in programming, commissioning and servicing the S7-300.
High-speed instruction processing:
Instruction execution times from 4 ns open up completely new application options in the low-end and mid performance
range.
Floating-point arithmetic:
With floating-point arithmetic, even complex arithmetic functions can be used effectively.
User-friendly parameter assignment:
There is only one single software tool with a uniform operator interface for parameterizing all modules. This saves on
21/02/2015
User-friendly HMI services are already integrated into the operating system of the S7-300. Costly programming of these
functions is no longer necessary: The SIMATIC HMI system requests process data from the SIMATIC S7-300 the S7300 transfers this data at the desired update times. The operating system of the SIMATIC S7-300 handles the transfer
autonomously. And all with uniform symbols and database.
Diagnostics functions:
The intelligent diagnostics system of the CPUs continuously checks the functionality of the system and registers faults
and specific system events (e.g. time errors, module failure, etc.). The events are stored in a ring buffer and timestamped for future troubleshooting.
Password protection:
Password protection allows users to protect their know-how effectively against unauthorized copying and modification.
The SIMATIC S7-300 complies with national and international standards:
CE mark
UL approval
CSA approval
cULus approval
cULus HAZ.LOC. approval
FM approval
ATEX approval

1.1 Standards and approvals".
Communication
The CPUs of the SIMATIC S7-300 support the following communication types:
Process communication:
For cyclic addressing of I/O modules (exchange of the process image) via a bus (AS-Interface, PROFIBUS DP or
PROFINET). Process communication is called up from the cyclic execution levels.
Data communication:
For data exchange between automation systems or between HMI stations and several automation systems. Data
communication takes place cyclically or it is called from the user program via blocks on an event-driven basis.
The user-friendly STEP7 operator interface that significantly simplifies configuring is available to users for configuring the
communication functions.
Data communication
The SIMATIC S7-300 has different data communication mechanisms:
Cyclic exchange of data packets between CPUs networked via MPI with global data communication.
Event-driven communication with other partners with the communication functions. Networking can take place via MPI,
PROFIBUS or PROFINET.
Global data
With the "Global data communication" service, networked CPUs can exchange data with each other cyclically (max. 8GD
packets with 22bytes each per cycle). This allows, for example, one CPU to access the data, bit memories and process image of
another CPU. Global data communication can only take place via the MPI. Configuring is carried out using the GD table in
STEP7.
Communication functions
21/02/2015
Communication services with S7/C7 partners can be established with system-integrated blocks.
The services are:
S7 basic communication via MPI.
S7 communication via MPI, C bus, PROFIBUS and PROFINET/Industrial Ethernet.
Communication services with S5 partners and non-Siemens devices can be established with reloadable blocks.
The services are:
S5-compatible communication via PROFIBUS and Industrial Ethernet.
Standard communication (non-Siemens systems) via PROFIBUS and Industrial Ethernet.
In contrast to global data, communication connections must be set up for the communication functions.
Integration into the IT world
The S7-300 makes it possible to simply link the modern IT world with automation engineering. The following IT functions are
possible via the CP 343-1 Advanced:
IP routing;
forwarding of IP V4 messages from the Gigabit to the PROFINET interface controlled via the IP access list
WEB server;
up to 30 MB of freely definable HTML pages can be called up via a standard browser; data handling of your own file
system via FTP
Standard diagnostics pages;
for high-speed diagnostics in the plant for all modules plugged into the mounting rack, without additional tool
E-mails;
Sending of e-mails with authentication direct from the user program. The e-mail client function makes it possible to alert
users direct from the control program
Communication via FTP;
The S7-300 PROFINET CPUs have an integral Web server. Information can thus be read out of the S7-300 station using a
standard Web browser:
General CPU information
Content of the diagnostics buffer
Variable table
Tag status
Module status
Alarms
Information on Industrial Ethernet
Topology of the PROFINET nodes
Via the user-defined pages, write access via the Web server to the S7-300 CPU is also possible.
Isochronous mode
The system function isochronous mode enables synchronous coupling
of the distributed signal acquisition,
the signal transmission via PROFIBUS/PROFINET and
the program execution
21/02/2015
In distributed automation solutions, the SIMATIC S7-300 now also opens up the important application area of high-speed
processing operations and enables the achievement of maximum precision and reproducibility. This means increased production
with optimal and constant quality.
Diagnostics
Diagnostics can be used to determine whether signal acquisition (in the case of digital modules) or analog processing (analog
modules) of the module is functioning fault-free. In diagnostics analysis, a distinction must be made between parameterizable and
non-parameterizable diagnostics messages:
Parameterizable diagnostics messages:
The diagnostics message is only sent if it has been enabled by the appropriate parameterization.
Non-parameterizable diagnostics messages:
These messages are sent as a matter of course, that is, independently of parameterization.
If a diagnostics message is active (e.g. "No sensor supply), the module triggers a diagnostics interrupt (if the diagnostics
message is parameterized, only after the appropriate parameterization). The CPU interrupts processing of the user program or
low priority classes, and processes the relevant diagnostics interrupt block (OB 82).

Hardware interrupt
Process signals can be monitored via hardware interrupts and responses to changes in the signals can be triggered.
Digital input modules:
Depending on the parameterization, the module can trigger a hardware interrupt for each channel group optionally at a
rising edge, a falling edge or at both edges of a signal status change. The CPU interrupts processing of the user program
or low priority classes, and processes the relevant diagnostics interrupt block (OB 40). The signal module can buffer one
interrupt per channel.
Analog input modules:
A working range is defined by parameterizing an high and low limit value. The module compares the digitized measured
value with these limits. If the measured value violates one of these limits, a hardware interrupt is triggered. The CPU
interrupts processing of the user program or low priority classes, and processes the relevant diagnostics interrupt block
(OB 40). If the limits are above/below the overrange/underrange, no comparison is made.
S7-300F
Mode of operation
The safety functions of the S7-300F are contained in the F program of the CPU and in the fail-safe signal modules.
The signal modules monitor output and input signals by means of discrepancy analyses and test signal injections.
The CPU checks the proper operation of the controller with regular self-tests, command tests, and logical and chronological
program execution checks. In addition, the I/O is checked by means of sign-of-life requests.
If a fault is diagnosed in the system, the system is brought to a safe state.
Programming
The safety-related programs for the CPU315F are programmed with the STEP7 languages LAD and FBD. The scope of
functions with regard to operations and data types is restricted here. A safety-related program is created by making special
specifications at the compiling stage. As well as the fail-safe program, a standard program can also run in parallel on one CPU
(coexistence) with no restrictions.
