C7-636
Would you like to pack high-performance machine controls into a really small space? The new
SIMATIC® C7-636 all-in-ones combine a powerful SIMATIC S7-300 CPU with a SIMATIC Operator
Panel in one compact unit. This reduces not only space but also overhead for installation,
wiring and engineering, reducing, in turn, your time to market and ensuring you a competitive
edge. With their 6 pixel-graphics color display, the new SIMATIC C7-636 all-in-ones provide
attractive, simple operator guidance for your machines and even offer Asian characters for
your markets in the Far East.
