The SIMATIC S7-1500 is the modular control system for a variety of automation applications in discrete automation.

The modular and fan-free design, simple implementation of distributed structures, and convenient handling make the SIMATIC S7-1500 the cost-effective and user-friendly solution for the most diverse tasks.

Application areas of the SIMATIC S7-1500 include:

• Special machinery

• Textile machinery

• Packaging machinery

• General mechanical engineering

• Controller building

• Machine tool manufacture

• Installation systems

• Electrical/electronics industry and the skilled trades.

• Automotive

• Water/wastewater

• F&B

Several CPUs of different performance levels and a comprehensive module range with many convenient functions are available. Failsafe CPUs facilitate use in failsafe applications. The modular design allows users to use only the modules they require for their applications. In the case of task expansions, the controller can be upgraded at any time by means of additional modules:

High industrial strength thanks to high electromagnetic compatibility and high resistance to shock and vibration enable universal use of the SIMATIC S7-1500.
