Why Plan Your Move Now?
SIMATIC S7-1200 G2 is designed for today’s pressure points in automation: more productivity, more scalable solutions, stronger connectivity, and better visibility into machine and system performance.
The S7-1200 G2 update is more than a routine product refresh. Siemens notes that the new S7-1200 G2 controller generation is not hardware-compatible with the previous S7-1200 family, although existing S7-1200 PLC programs can typically be converted for S7-1200 G2 with only minor adjustments. That makes planning important, especially for machine builders, OEMs, and facilities standardizing around compact PLC platforms.
Straighten Up Your Wire Runs
WireRail gives installers a cleaner, faster way to route parallel cables with one 12-inch adhesive mount instead of multiple square bases.
Why WireRail?
- Fewer parts: One WireRail replaces 3+ traditional adhesive mounts.
- Cleaner routing: The 12-inch footprint helps create straight vertical or horizontal cable runs.
- Flexible fastening: Eight integrated tie slots support multiple routing points.
- Built for industrial environments: Heat-stabilized PA66 construction with acrylic or rubber adhesive options.
- Added security: Optional screw mounting when the application needs extra hold.
