SIMATIC S7-1500, CPU 1516-3 PN/DP, central processing unit with 1 MB work memory for program and 5 MB for data, 1st interface: PROFINET IRT with 2-port switch, 2nd interface: PROFINET RT, 3rd interface: PROFIBUS, 10 ns bit performance, SIMATIC Memory Card required
Use the S7-1500 controllers for all aspects of production automation and applications for medium-sized and high-end machines that are demanding in terms of performance, communication, flexibility, and technology.
The heart of the controller system
The central processing units are the heart of the S7-1500 PLC. They execute the user program and network the controller with other automation components. Thanks to numerous innovations, the CPUs of the S7-1500 deliver the ultimate plus in productivity and efficiency
As more and more automation devices are connected, cybersecurity risks also increase. To mitigate risk, automation products need to be equipped with advanced security measures. Therefore, we’ve introduced security by default from TIA Portal V17 onwards, meaning that security measures are available right after installation. We also work to sensibilize every user about possible threats by recommending a defense-in-depth strategy and providing transparent communications on vulnerabilities and their mitigation. To cope with firmware-oriented attacks, the latest generation of S7-1500 is equipped with immutable root of trust.
