SIEMENS - SIMATIC S7-1500 - CPU 1517F Fail-Safe PLC

Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1517F controllers are high-performance fail-safe PLC CPUs designed for demanding machine, production and industrial automation applications requiring both standard automation control and integrated functional safety.

The CPU 1517F family combines the high processing performance and large memory architecture of the S7-1500 platform with fail-safe program execution and PROFIsafe communication. This enables standard and safety-related automation functions to be implemented within a coordinated SIMATIC control architecture.

Depending on the applicable CPU 1517F variant, integrated industrial communication capabilities can support PROFINET, Industrial Ethernet and PROFIsafe networks for connecting standard and fail-safe distributed I/O, drives, HMI systems and other automation equipment.

CPU 1517F controllers are suited to complex machinery, high-speed manufacturing equipment, production lines and distributed automation systems requiring high controller performance together with functional-safety applications such as emergency-stop processing, machine guarding, safe drive integration and other safety-related control functions.
