Siemens S5
The Siemens SIMATIC S5 PLC is an automation system based on Programmable Logic Controllers. A PLC is an electronic device in the form of a digital computer. This computer contains a microprocessor that, based on the information it receives from its inputs, controls a number of outputs. PLC systems are used for purposes including the automation of machinery and production lines in factories.
SIMATIC S5 replaced by SIMATIC S7
The SIMATIC S5 was manufactured and sold by Siemens AG. For over two decades, the SIMATIC S5 was successfully used for the automation of machinery and production lines in factories, printing offices, dairy farms, bakeries, etc. The SIMATIC S5 was replaced in 1994 by the SIMATIC S7. As there are still large numbers of SIMATIC S5 devices in use globally, Siemens did guarantee the availability of S5 devices up to the end of 2015.
