• The CPU with a very large program and data memory in the S7-1500 Controller product range for demanding applications with extremely high requirements regarding program scope, performance and networking
• Extremely high processing speed for binary and floating-point arithmetic
• For cross-industry automation tasks in series machine, special machine and plant construction
• Used as central controller in production lines with central and distributed I/O
• PROFINET IO IRT interface with 2-port switch
• PROFINET IO controller for operating distributed I/O on PROFINET.
• PROFINET I-device for connecting the CPU as an intelligent PROFINET device under a SIMATIC or third-party PROFINET IO controller.
• Two additional PROFINET interfaces with separate IP address; for network separation. The PROFINET interface X2 can be used for connecting additional PROFINET IO RT devices or for fast communication as an I-device. The PROFINET interface X3 gives you the capability of transferring data at a speed of 1 Gbps.
• PROFIBUS DP master interface
• OPC UA Server (Data Access) as runtime option for the easy connection of SIMATIC S7-1500 to third-party devices/systems
• Isochronous mode on PROFIBUS and PROFINET
• Integrated motion control functionalities for controlling speed-controlled and positioning axes, support for external encoders, precise position gearing between axes, cams/cam tracks and probes
• Integrated web server for diagnostics with the option of creating user-defined web pages
