SIEMENS - SIMATIC S7-1500 - CPU 1518F Fail-Safe PLC

Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518F controllers are high-performance fail-safe PLC CPUs designed for demanding industrial automation applications requiring very fast standard control together with integrated functional safety.

The CPU 1518F family combines the upper performance class of the SIMATIC S7-1500 platform with fail-safe program execution and PROFIsafe communication. This allows standard and safety-related machine or process functions to be implemented within an integrated controller architecture.

Depending on the applicable CPU 1518F variant, communication capabilities can include multiple PROFINET interfaces, PROFINET IRT, Industrial Ethernet and PROFIBUS DP. This supports integration with standard and fail-safe distributed I/O, drives, HMI systems and existing industrial networks.

Integrated diagnostics, display, web-server functionality, security capabilities and engineering within Siemens TIA Portal support commissioning, maintenance and lifecycle management.

CPU 1518F controllers are suited to high-performance production machinery, complex manufacturing systems, material handling, process equipment and safety-related industrial automation requiring high processing performance and functional safety up to SIL 3 / PL e.
