The SIMATIC ODK 1500S supports the development of library functions for S7-1500 Software Controller and S7-1500 CPU 1518 ODK.
Typical applications are:

• Windows library applications (S7-1500 Software Controller only):
  • Interfacing to databases
  • Communication with Windows programs such as Office applications
  • Connection to application-specific visualization software
  • Implementation of industry-specific protocol converters such as PV02, IEC 61850, etc.
  • Access to the Windows file system, e.g. with specific file formats
• Real-time library applications (S7-1500 Software Controller and CPU 1518 ODK):
  • Integration of existing C/C++ algorithms into the control task
  • Implementation of closed-loop controllers or algorithms, also with model-based development environments such as MATLAB^® or SIMULINK^®
  • Programming of control functions in C/C++ that are to be used independently of platforms.

Together with the SIMATIC Target 1500S™ for Simulink^®, direct generation of the library functions from Simulink^® is possible.
