Siemens S7-1200 1211C, should I buy it?

5 posts in this topic

Hello everybody.
I need to learn PLC programming.
I already have some experience with Ladder language and PLCSIM so now I need a real PLC to do more practice.

I was going to buy the following unit:
6ES7211-1BE31-0XB0
http://www.eibmarkt.com/isroot/eibmarkt/Files/DatenblattE/NS6102812.pdf
It has 6 Di, 4 DO (Relay) and 2 AI, that's more than enough for me to do some practice.

Do you think it would be a good idea to buy it? Or maybe this PLC doesn't have some important component or device needed to work properly? (my company will give me the software).

Thank you to anyone will help me.

Have a nice day,
Edoardo

Can you please give me a very quick opinion?

I think it would be best if you had a simple project to start with.

That way you learn the most I think. A Siemens training course of 1 week is also a good way to get started.

This CPU is great for practice. it package also with Analog input i think, just add Signal Board (SB) for additional analog output. That would be cheaper.
