Phoenix Contact has extended its range of PLC structured cabling products to facilitate the replacement of Simatic S5 systems with Simatic S7 in the automation market The Varioface S5/S7 adapters can be used to connect the existing Simatic S5 field wiring directly to the Simatic S7
This saves both time and money, as rewiring of individual modules is not required.
Also during downtime such as weekends, with the adaptors fitted, systems can be tested using the Simatic S7 but can still be operated during production times using the Simatic S5.
After the change has been completed, the Simatic S7 controls the system via the Varioface-S5/S7 adapters and the old Simatic S5 field wiring.
