Automation System SIMATIC S7-1500
The automation system SIMATIC S7-1500 is a modular control system for the medium and upper
performance range. An extensive module spectrum is available for optimum adaptation to the
automation task.
The SIMATIC S7-1500 is the continued development of the SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 automation
systems with the following performance features:
● Increased system performance
● Integrated motion control functionality
● PROFINET IO IRT
● Integrated display for machine-related operation and diagnosis
● STEP 7 language innovations while retaining proven functions
The S7-1500 controller consists of a power supply , a CPU with integrated display , and input/output
modules for digital and analog signals . The modules are mounted on a channel with integrated
mounting rail profile . If needed, communication processors and function modules for special tasks -
such as stepper motor control- are used.
With the S7 program, t
he programmable logic controller
(PLC) monitors and controls a machine or a
process: the IO modules are polled in the S7 program by means of input addresses (%I), and output
addresses (%O) are addressed.
addresses (%O) are addressed.
The system is programmed with the software STEP 7 Professional V13.
