Product information
Overview
Applications
- Motion Control: Supports Motion Control technology objects, including positioning axes, speed-controlled axes, synchronous axes, external encoders, output cams, cam tracks, and probes.
- PID control: Supports PID_Compact, PID_3Step for valves, and PID-Temp controllers, each with integrated optimization.
- OPC UA data access: Supports OPC UA Client data access with registered Read/Write and Method Call, and OPC UA Server data access, subscriptions, alarms and conditions, and method calls.
Key Features
- Fail-safe central processing unit: CPU 1516F-3 PN/DP for SIMATIC S7-1500F with 6 ns typical processing time for bit operations.
- PROFINET and PROFIBUS interfaces: Two PROFINET interfaces and one PROFIBUS interface are available. The first PROFINET interface has a 2-port integrated switch; the second has one port.
- Memory and program capacity: Integrated program memory: 3 Mbyte. Plug-in SIMATIC Memory Card is required, with load memory up to 32 Gbyte and 7.5 Mbyte maximum DB size.
- Supply and current consumption: Rated supply voltage: 24 V DC, permissible range 19.2 V to 28.8 V DC. Rated current consumption is 0.69 A; maximum is 1.08 A.
- Industrial communication: Supports PROFINET IO Controller and IO Device, PROFIBUS DP master, OPC UA Client and Server, MODBUS TCP, and PROFINET Security Class 1 on the second interface.
- Motion Control resources: Provides 2 400 Motion Control resources for technology objects and supports positioning axes: 11 at a 4 ms motion control cycle or 20 at an 8 ms cycle, typical values.
