What this Means to You
Machines Need to be Smarter
… and create Greater Demands on Engineering
Machines need more functionality
Increased pressure on delivery time and product quality
Multi-disciplinary developmentand collaboration
The #1 and #2 business strategies
of machinery companies are
dedicated to developing smarter
machines thru innovation and
customization.

Advanced Controller – SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU
Increased Productivity Through Ultimate Power
Security Integrated• Integrated copy and know-how protection
function secures intellectual property
• Improved protection against manipulation and
cyber threats (authentication)
Safety Integrated• One controller for standard and fail-safe tasks,
one network for standard and failsafe
communication
• High-density channels of a failsafe IO module
can be directly addressed from the engineering
High Performance • Higher productivity and product quality thanks
to the backplane bus and shortest reaction
times
• PROFINET with deterministic time response
ensure reproducibility and precision within µs
Efficient Engineering• Support of all IEC 61131-3 programming
languages(LAD/FBD, STL, SCL and Graph)
• Integration of high-level language (C/C++) for
Multifunctional Platform CPU 1518(F)-4 PN/DP
MFP through SIMATIC ODK 1500S
Reliable Diagnostics• The automatic generation of system and user
diagnostics enables quick error detection
• Any errors can be quickly localized on-site
thanks to 1:1 LED channel assignment
Technology Integrated• Simple to complexe Motion Control task can be
programmed directly in the controller (e.g.
speed-controlled axes, camming, …)
• A variety of technology functions can be
implemented with I/O modules (e.g. PWM)
Innovative Design• CPU display supports diagnostics, initial
commissioning and service (tag status, IP
address assignment, backup, …)
• Convenient wiring thanks to pre-wiring position
of the I/O modules and jumper links
