Description
Overview
Modular, scalable, and universally usable system in IP20 level of protection
The system solution for a variety of automation applications in discrete automation
Highest performance with excellent usability
Configurable exclusively in the Totally Integrated Automation Portal with STEP 7 Professional V12 or higher
Performance
Increase in performance through
Faster command execution
Language extensions
New data types
Faster backplane bus
Optimized code generation
Powerful communication:
PROFINET IO (2-port switch) as standard interface;
from CPU 1515-2 PN, one or more additional integrated PROFINET interfaces, e.g. for network separation
Expandable with communication modules for bus systems and point-to-point connection
Integrated technology
Motion Control integrated without additional modules:
Standardized blocks (PLCopen) for connection of analog and PROFIdrive-capable drives
The Motion Control functionality supports speed-controlled and positioning axes as well as external encoders
Positionally precise gearing between axes
Comprehensive trace functions for all CPU tags for real-time diagnosis and sporadic error detection;
for effective commissioning and quick optimization of drives and controls
Comprehensive control functionalities:
e.g. easily configurable blocks for automatic optimization of the control parameters for optimum control quality
Additional functions through available technology modules:
e.g. high-speed counting, position detection, or measurement functions for signals up to 1 MHz
Safety Integrated
Protection of personnel and machinery – within the framework of an integrated complete system
Failsafe SIMATIC S7-1500F controllers for processing standard and safety programs on the same controller.
Generation of the failsafe and standard user program is carried out in the TIA Portal with the same editors; this enables failsafe data to be evaluated like standard data in the standard user program, for example. Due to this integration the system benefits and the comprehensive functionality of SIMATIC are also available for failsafe applications.
Security Integrated
Password-based know-how protection against unauthorized reading and modification of program blocks
Copy protection for greater protection against unauthorized copying of program blocks:
With copy protection, individual blocks on the SIMATIC memory card can be tied to its serial number so that the block can only be run if the configured memory card is inserted into the CPU.
Rights concept with four different authorization levels:
Different access rights can be assigned to various user groups. The new protection level 4 makes it possible to also restrict communication to HMI devices.
Improved manipulation protection:
Changed or unauthorized transfers of engineering data are detected by the controller.
For use of an Ethernet CP (CP 1543-1):
Additional access protection by means of a firewall
Setup of secure VPN connections (V12 SP1 or higher)
Design and handling
CPUs with display for plain text information:
Information about article numbers, firmware version, and the serial number of all connected modules can be displayed
Setting the IP address of the CPU and additional network settings directly on site, without programming device
Display of occurring error messages directly as plain text message, meaning reduction in downtime
Uniform front connectors for all modules and integrated potential bridges for flexible potential group formation simplify stock keeping and reduce wiring costs
Integrated DIN rail in the S7-1500 mounting rail:
quick and easy installation of additional components such as miniature circuit breakers, relays, etc.
Central expansion with signal modules:
for flexible adaptation to any application
System cabling for digital signal modules:
for fast and clearly arranged connecting to sensors and actuators in the field and simple wiring inside the control cabinet
Power supply:
Load power supply modules (PMs) for supplying the module with 24 V
Power supply modules to supply power to the internal module electronics via the backplane bus
Distributed expansion:
Use of up to 30 signal modules, communication modules, and technology modules via the PROFINET interface module IM 155-5 for the ET 200MP I/O system
No difference in terms of handling and system functions in central and distributed operation
Integrated system diagnostics
Integrated system diagnostics for CPUs, activated by default:
Consistent plain text display of system diagnostic information in the display, TIA Portal, HMI, and web server, even for drive messages. Messages are updated even if the CPU is in STOP state.
System diagnostics integrated in the CPU firmware. Configuration by user not required. The diagnostics is automatically updated on configuration changes.
Datalog (archives) and recipes
SIMATIC memory card:
Plug-in load memory
Permits firmware updates
Storage option for STEP 7 projects (including comments and symbols), additional documentation, or csv files (for recipes and archives)
Easy access to plant-relevant operating data and configuration data with Office tools via the SD Card reader (two-way data exchange from and to the controller)
Integrated web server:
– Easy access to plant-relevant operating data and configuration data via a Web browser
