S7 1500 TECHNOLOGY CPU'S

8 X TECHNOLOGY CPUS

Eight technology CPUs with graded performances:

Features
Related Part Numbers

Performance
- Faster command processing, language extensions and new data types depending on the CPU type
- Even shorter response times of the CPUs due to considerably faster backplane bus
- High-performance network connection:
  each CPU is equipped with PROFINET IO IRT (2-port switch) as the standard interface
Integrated technology
- Control of PROFIdrive-capable drives and drives with analog setpoint interfaces via standardized motion control instructions (PLCopen)
- Motion Control functions:
  Speed-controlled axes, positioning axes, synchronized axes, external encoders, cams, cam track, probes, extended synchronous operation functions (synchronization with or without specification of the synchronous position, setpoint or actual value linkage, shifting of the master value at the following axis, camming), cam disk, max. 4 encoder or measuring systems as actual position for position control.
  Cyclic specification of the motion vector from the application (MotionIn interface)
  Technology object for controlling kinematics with up to 4 interpolating axes, e.g. Cartesian portal, delta picker, roll picker, articulated arm, cylindrical robot, tripod picker and SCARA.
  Support for user-defined kinematics.
- Trace functions for all CPU tags, both for diagnostics in real time as well as for sporadic error detection; can also be called via the web server of the CPU
- Comprehensive control functionalities, e.g. easy to configure blocks for automatic optimization of the control parameters for optimum control quality
Security Integrated
- Password-based know-how protection against unauthorized read-out and modification of program blocks
- Copy protection for tying individual blocks to the serial number of the SIMATIC Memory Card: The block can only run if the configured memory card is inserted into the CPU.
- 4-level authorization concept:
  Communication to the HMI devices can also be restricted
- Manipulation protection:
  The controller recognizes changed or unauthorized transmission of the engineering data
Design and handling
- Display of overview information:
  E.g. Station name, plant identifier, location designation, etc., diagnostic information, module information, display settings
- Possible operations on the display:
  Set addresses of the CPU or connected Ethernet communications processors, set date and time, select operating mode of CPU, reset CPU to factory settings, disable/enable display, activate protection levels, acknowledge messages, back up and restore projects
Integrated system diagnostics
- System diagnostics information is displayed consistently and in plain text in the display, TIA Portal, HMI devices and Web server, even for messages from the drives, and updated even if the CPU is in STOP mode.
- Integrated in the firmware of the CPU, no special configuration is required
SIMATIC Memory Card (required for operation of the CPU)
- Used as a plug-in load memory or for updating the firmware
- Also for storing additional documents or csv files (for recipes and archives)
- Creation of data blocks for storage/reading of data via SFCs of the user program
Datalog (archives) and recipes
- Storage of csv files for recipes and archives on the SIMATIC Memory Card;
  easy access to plant-relevant operating data using Office tools or via a web server
- Easy access to configuration data of the machine by means of a Web browser or SD card reader (two-way data exchange from and to the controller)
Programming
- Programming with STEP 7 Professional, V14 and higher
- S7-1200 basic programs can be transferred to S7-1500 by copy-paste.
