SIEMENS SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP – 6ES7518-4AP00-0AB0

The central processing unit is the main component of the SIMATIC S7-1500 series. Precisely executes the user’s program by connecting the controller with other automation components.

Thanks to the innovations used, SIMATIC S7-1500 1518-4 PN/DP – 6ES7518-4AP00-0AB0 processors provide the highest performance. The equipment is extremely compact and rugged thanks to its design in IP20 or IP65/67 standards. The unit is equipped with an intuitive display and buttons, allowing quick and easy operation or configuration of addresses, modules and other settings. The device rapidly processes bit operations in 1 ns, the offered model is among the fastest in the series. The CPU 1518-4 PN/DP provides the user with 3 Mb per program, as well as 10 Mb for data.

The S7-1500 controller has been designed as a compact processor, which means saved space in the control cabinet, Input/ Output are integrated, the controller itself, however, can be expanded and enlarged with more I/O modules or with a wide range of signal and communication modules, easy adaptation specifically to current needs will further ensure that the controller’s performance increases or makes it adapt to new circumstances without any problems.

FAIL-SAFE versions have larger memory for standard applications and secure communication via PROFIsafe with PROFINET/PROFIBUS and guarantee the highest level of safety, functional up to SIL 3 according to IEC 62061 in accordance with ISO 13849. Such a range includes both standard and fault-tolerant processors for all requirements, offering compact designs with integrated I/O. Anywhere you need to use the C/C++ language in a PLC function or in a stand-alone application. The platform’s multifunctional processors and powerful technology processors provide support in extended operation functions. Special requirements for durability or environmental conditions are covered by a separate family of SIPLUS devices.

The SIMATIC S7-1500 TM NPU technology module for the SIMATIC S7-1500 controller and ET 200MP I/O system allows the use of artificial intelligence methods in automation. It can be easily integrated into the SIMATIC system without the use of additional hardware. Thus, a simple and inexpensive combination of AI algorithms and PLC logic is feasible for any machine.
