VIPA has evolved from a specialist in Siemens compatible components to a provider of complete PLC solutions.
All VIPA systems are programmable with STEP®7 from Siemens or with WinPLC7, the programming tool from VIPA. The VIPA systems 300S and 300V are designed for compatibility to S7-300® from Siemens enabling mixed operation, e. g. with CPUs from VIPA and modules from Siemens.
Systems 100V, 200V, 300V and 300S offer solutions for centralized and decentralized applications. For centralized use a variety of CPUs is available. Depending on the type, the CPUs of systems 200V, 300V and 300S are equipped with an integrated CP 343 for communication via Ethernet.
As a standard, the CPUs in system 300S are equipped with an Ethernet Interface for PG/OP communication. For decentral applications, CPUs with integrated Profibus DP SlaveInterface as well as ProfibusDP, CAN, INTERBUS, Ethernet and DeviceNetSlaveFieldbusCoupler are available.
System 100V
The compact control system
The VIPA system 100V is a Micro-PLC system programmable with Step®7 from Siemens or WinPLC7 - a programming tool from VIPA. With a compact design, system 100V provides a maximum expansion of up to 160 I/O points by plugging in expansion modules. These Micro-PLCs are especially suitable for use in smaller and cost-conscious applications.

System 300S
The High Speed Control System
With the VIPA “SPEED7 Technology”, system 300S is the fastest control system in the world programmable with Step®7 from Siemens. The maximum memory for program 
and data has already been integrated into the SPEED7 CPUs. For this reason the CPUs can be operated without an additional memory card. Depending on the CPU type, the integrated work memory can be expanded to 8MByte with the VIPA Memory extansion card as required. All CPUs in the System 300S are equipped with an Ethernet Interface for PG/OP communication. A CP 343 interf
ace for TCP/IP communication has been integrated in the “NET” CPUs. Because of its high performance and scalable memory, system 300S is especially suitable for mid to high range applications.
Features of VIPA System 300S
- Programmable with WinPLC7 from VIPA
- Programmable with Step®7 from Siemens
- Integrated work memory - operation possibile without additional memory card!
- Flexible extension of memory using a Memory Configuration Card for the desired upgrade

- 24 months warranty
- UL-standard certification
SLIO SLICE I/O
The new I/O system from VIPA
Presenting the completely new developed I/O system SLIO®, VIPA once again sets new standards in the automation industry.
By means of the modular and extremely compact SLIO the realization of almost every automated solution will from now on be simpler and especially more economical.
SLIO can be combined and applied with each of the established VIPA systems 100V, 200V, 300S, 500S.
It´s one of the most effective and modern decentralized I/O systems available on the market. It combines high functionality with a clever mechanic concept in an extremely compact design.
