The CPU 1515SP PC is snapped directly onto the DIN rail like other ET 200SP CPUs. ET 200SP I/O modules can be plugged in directly and centrally, and they communicate via the integrated backplane bus. PN IO and S7 communication can be established and distributed I/Os can be connected via the PROFINET adapter of the ET 200SP system. This way, the system can be integrated into existing automation environments with little effort.

The PROFIBUS CM DP module adds PROFIBUS communication to the CPU 1515SP PC.

The following interfaces are available:

• 1 x Gbit Ethernet
• 1 x PN IO interface via ET 200SP bus adapter with 2 ports
• 3 x USB 2.0 at the front, for connecting a keyboard, mouse and USB stick, for example
• 1 x DVI-I, for connecting a SIMATIC Flat Panel or multitouch device, for example

The CPU also possesses the following:

• Mode switch
• Replaceable mass storage CFast with security seal
• Additional memory slot for SD/MMC
• Status LEDs
• Connection for 24 V DC supply voltage
