SIEMENS - SIMATIC S7-1500 - CPU 1518 MFP PLC

Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518 MFP controllers combine high-performance S7-1500 PLC control with multifunctional application processing for industrial automation systems requiring both conventional PLC execution and additional C/C++ runtime capability.

The CPU 1518 MFP family extends the standard CPU 1518 architecture with Siemens Multifunctional Platform functionality, allowing C/C++ applications to execute alongside the PLC program. Depending on the applicable bundle or MFP variant, additional runtime licences such as OPC UA can be supplied as part of the product configuration.

The family provides high-performance PLC processing, large memory capacity and extensive industrial communication capabilities including PROFINET and PROFIBUS architectures. It is suited to applications requiring advanced algorithms, data processing, communication functions or custom application logic beyond traditional PLC programming.

Engineering and system integration are performed using Siemens TIA Portal together with the applicable MFP/C/C++ development and runtime environment
