Siemens Central processing unit with 1.5 MB work memory

The CPU with a large program and data memory in the S7-1500 controller product range for fail-safe applications with high requirements regarding program scope and networking. Can be used for failsafe functions up to SIL 3 according to IEC 61508 and up to PLe according to ISO 13849. High processing speed for binary and floating-point arithmetic. Used as central PLC in production lines with central and distributed I/O. Supports PROFIsafe in centralized and distributed configuration. Integrated motion control functionalities for controlling speed-controlled and positioning axes, support for external encoders.The CPU 1516F-3 PN/DP is the CPU with a large program and data memory for demanding standard and fail-safe applications that also contain distributed automation structures alongside central I/O. It can be used as a PROFINET IO controller or as distributed intelligence (PROFINET I-Device). The integrated PROFINET IO IRT interface is designed as a 2-port switch, enabling a linear topology to be set up in the system. The additional integrated PROFINET interface with separate IP address can be used, for example, for network separation. Distributed I/O can be connected via PROFIBUS (or PROFIsafe) via the integrated PROFIBUS interface. In addition, the CPU offers comprehensive control functionalities as well as the ability to connect drives via standardized PLCopen blocks. Thanks to a variety of innovations and integrated functions, the SIMATIC S7-1500 CPUs offer added value with regard to performance and engineering efficiency.
