shared centralized services, making it

especially easy to use system-wide functions.

The controller is quick and easy to install

and connect, and with its short system

response times, it boosts productivity in the

twinkling of an eye. For you, this means more

flexibility in handling, shorter time-to-market, and

a fast rate of return on your plant.

Scalable performance and functionality

for every application In terms of

performance and functionality, the

SIMATIC S7-1500 Controller supports

scalable and therefore costefficient

automation solutions in every case. It builds

on the functionality of the less sophisticated

SIMATIC S7-1200 controller, meaning you

benefit from consistent processes and

maximum efficiencyin engineering, operation,

SIMATIC S7-1500 plus TIA Portal

The SIMATIC® S7-1500 controller set new

standards insystem performance and usability.

This also applies to the two youngest members

of the controller family, CPU 1511C and

CPU 1512C. These especially compact

advanced controllers deliver a powerful

performance despite their slim dimensions

while also featuring integrated technology

functions – thus rounding out the S7-1500

portfolio. At the same time, the Totally

Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal)

redefines the topic of efficiency in engineering,

configuring and operation. As a team,

SIMATIC S7-1500 and TIA Portal

are unbeatable. Together, they ensure enhanced

plant availability as well as setting standards for the future.

Seamless integration of the SIMATIC S7-1500

controller into the TIA Portal makes it possible

to access a common database, and provides

a uniform operating concept and

Simple creation and implementation of motion and

closed-loop control applications

• Integrated motion control functions for flexible

connection of drives via PROFINET, PROFIBUS or

analog interfaces, as well as programming of motion

sequences with PLCopen motion blocks.

• Configuration of continuous and discrete pulse width

modulation thanks to integrated PID control.

Easy CPU selection due to one automation system for

standard and fail-safe

• Safety Integrated applies to all S7-1500 Standard CPUs

and enables simple connection of PROFIsafe device

via PROFIBUS and PROFINET. It was designed for us

in safety-related applications to SIL 3 according to

IEC 62061, and PL e according to ISO 13849

Efficient engineering thanks to comprehensive

software and hardware functions

• The innovative engineering framework TIA Portal

integrates HMI, controllers, distributed IO, motion

control and drives seamlessly into one engineering

environment.

• Integration of the SIMATIC S7-1500 controllers in the

TIA Portal provides complete symbolic programming,

an optimized compiler for enhanced performance, and

the same range of commands for all programming

languages.

Enhanced usability through innovative design

and handling

• Commissioning and diagnostics are simplified by

built-in CPU display showing system

diagnostics messages in plaintext, as well as

changes of IP addresses,for example.

• A standardized front connector and convenient wiring

solutions enable simple installation and reduced parts

logistics.

Increased productivity through lower cycle times

and top-speed troubleshooting

• High-speed backplane bus, terminal-terminal response

times of less than 100 μs, and command processing of

up to 1 ns result in extremely short execution times.

• With integral system diagnostics, a trace function, and

a standardized display concept in the TIA Portal, the

HMI, the Webserver and the display of the S7-1500,

faults can be located and corrected efficiently.

Protection for intellectual property and the machine

through Security Integrated

• Your intellectual property and the investment it

represents are perfectly protected thanks to integrated

know-how, copy and tampering protection as well as

additional password protection for access to program

contents and secure communication.

• Extended access protection thanks to integrated firewall

via Security CP 1543-1.
