SIEMENS - SIMATIC S7-1500 - CPU 1518 PLC

Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518 controllers are high-performance modular PLC CPUs designed for demanding industrial automation applications requiring very fast program execution, large memory capacity, extensive communications and advanced system integration.

The CPU 1518 family represents the upper performance class of standard SIMATIC S7-1500 controllers and is suited to complex machines, high-speed production systems, large automation architectures and applications requiring extensive program and data processing.

Depending on the applicable CPU 1518 variant, communication capabilities can include multiple PROFINET interfaces, PROFINET IRT, Industrial Ethernet and PROFIBUS DP. This enables integration with distributed I/O, drives, HMI systems, engineering stations and existing industrial fieldbus architectures.

Integrated diagnostics, web-server functionality, extensive communication services, security functions and engineering through Siemens TIA Portal support commissioning, operation, maintenance and lifecycle management.

CPU 1518 controllers are suited to high-speed manufacturing, complex machinery, material handling, process automation and large industrial systems requiring Siemens' highest standard S7-1500 CPU performance class.
