SIMATIC S7-1500 Controller Product Positioning and Features

Higher production capacity - higher usability:

The new generation SIMATIC S7-1500 controller, through its various innovations and high cost-effectiveness, has set a new benchmark in improving customer production efficiency, shortening the time to market for new products, and enhancing customer key competitiveness. Its excellent product design concept provides strong support for achieving sustainable development of factories.

Advanced Controller - SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU strives to improve productivity with utmost effort

high-performance

The CPU has a fast bit processing speed of up to 1ns

Adopting a 100Mbps backplane bus to ensure extreme response time

• Powerful communication capability, CPU body supports three Ethernet network segments

• Supports PROFINET data refresh time of 125 µ s

Efficient engineering configuration

Unified programming and debugging platform, universal program, strong scalability

• Supports IEC 61131-3 programming languages (LAD/FBD, STL, SCL, and Graph)

With the help of ODK, 1500 can directly run high-level language algorithms (C/C++)

1500F: The same controller can perform standard and fail safe tasks, and the same network can achieve standard and fail safe communication

Integrated motion control function

• Simple to complex motion control tasks can be directly programmed in the controller (such as speed control shaft, cam drive)

Various process functions (such as PTO) can be achieved through I/O modules

S7-1500T further expands the S7-1500 product line, supporting high-end motion control functions (absolute synchronization, cam control)

openness

Integrate standardized OPC UA communication protocol, connect control layer and IT layer, and achieve secure and efficient communication with upper SCADA/MES/ERP or cloud.

Virtual PLC data can be integrated with simulation software through PLC SIM Adv. Virtual debugging anticipates errors in advance, reducing on-site debugging time

Integrated Information Security

Integrated copy protection and proprietary technology protection functions ensure that intellectual property is not infringed upon

• Improve protection features to prevent tampering and resist network threats (authentication)

Reliable diagnosis

With 1:1 LED channel allocation, errors can be quickly located on-site

When a malfunction occurs, channel level diagnosis can be quickly achieved through programming software, HMI, Web Server, and other means without the need for programming

Using standardized ProDiag functionality, process errors can be efficiently analyzed, and even program segments with errors can be directly viewed in HMI, greatly reducing debugging and production downtime

Innovative Design

The CPU comes with a built-in panel that supports diagnosis, initial debugging, and maintenance (variable status, IP address allocation, backup, trend chart display, reading program cycle time, supporting custom pages, and supporting multiple languages)

Intelligent multifunctional I/O module, optimized product line, convenient selection and spare parts

The all-new S7-1500 brings standard, compact, distributed, and open CPU modules of different types. With fast response time, integrated CPU display panel, and corresponding debugging and diagnostic mechanisms, the CPU of SIMATIC S7-1500 greatly improves production efficiency and reduces production costs.
