SIEMENS - SIMATIC S7-1500 - CPU 1517T Technology PLC

Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1517T controllers are high-performance Technology PLC CPUs designed for demanding machine and production automation applications requiring advanced motion control together with high-speed PLC processing.

The CPU 1517T family combines the processing, communication, diagnostics and modular architecture of the SIMATIC S7-1500 platform with extended technology and motion-control functionality. This enables complex machine-control and motion applications to be implemented within a coordinated controller architecture.

Depending on the applicable CPU 1517T variant, communication capabilities can include PROFINET IRT, Industrial Ethernet and PROFIBUS DP, supporting distributed I/O, drives, HMI systems, engineering stations and other industrial automation equipment.

Integrated technology functions support applications such as positioning, synchronous motion, gearing, camming and coordinated motion. Engineering within Siemens TIA Portal provides a common environment for PLC programming, motion-control configuration, commissioning, diagnostics and network configuration.

CPU 1517T controllers are suited to packaging machinery, material-handling systems, production equipment, converting machinery, assembly systems and other sophisticated machines requiring high controller performance and advanced motion control.
