Performance was and always is a decision criteria, thus a performant centralized CPU is required which allows also fastest signal processing from gathering to execution, including motion control tasks. In addition, safeguarding humans and machines is always necessary.

The most performant controller of the S7-1500, CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP integrates performance and failsafe capabilities in one controller, utilizes Profinet, with Profisafe, for fast, failsafe communication to ET 200SP distributed modules with the fast backplane bus.

Used Products:

• TIA Portal
• S7-1500
• SIMATIC ET 200SP
• SINAMICS G120 built-in units
• SIMATIC IPC277D
• PROFINET
