SIEMENS - SIMATIC S7-1500 - CPU 1518TF Technology Fail-Safe PLC

Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518TF controllers are high-performance Technology Fail-Safe PLC CPUs designed for demanding industrial automation applications requiring extremely fast control, advanced motion functionality and integrated functional safety.

The CPU 1518TF family combines standard PLC processing, extended SIMATIC Motion Control technology functions and fail-safe program execution within a single S7-1500 controller architecture. This enables sophisticated machine control, coordinated motion and safety-related functions to be engineered within an integrated Siemens automation platform.

Depending on the applicable CPU 1518TF generation, communication capabilities include multiple PROFINET interfaces, PROFINET IRT, Industrial Ethernet, PROFIsafe and, on applicable variants, PROFIBUS DP. These interfaces support integration with distributed standard and fail-safe I/O, drives, HMI systems and other industrial automation equipment.

Integrated technology functions support positioning, synchronous motion, electronic gearing, camming, kinematics and coordinated motion. Fail-safe functionality supports safety-related applications up to SIL 3 / PL e.

CPU 1518TF controllers are suited to high-speed packaging, converting, robotics, assembly, material handling and sophisticated production machinery requiring Siemens' highest Technology CPU performance together with integrated functional safety.
