Application
The CPU 1512C-1 PN is the compact CPU for applications with medium requirements for processing speed and speed of response in discrete production technology.
The CPU 1512C-1 PN has 5 analog inputs, via which the analog process signals, such as pressure or temperature, can be acquired. Of these, four inputs can be used for current or voltage measurement and one input for resistance test.
The analog outputs integrated directly on the CPU convert a 16-bit digital value into a current or a voltage and output this to the process. They are suitable for controlling proportional valves, for example.
By means of the 32 integrated digital inputs, 24Ā VĀ DC signals from plant that can be recorded directly on the controller.
The 32 integrated digital outputs switch 24Ā VĀ DC voltages and thus transfer internal signals from the controller to the plant.
The integrated counters offer the possibility of recording signals as fast as 100Ā kHz and evaluating the counter status or the current speed directly in the controller without the need for additional modules. The speed can be output as a frequency or period, or as a user-normalized speed.
The Motion Control functions of the CPU can use the counters as an actual position value and the analog outputs as a speed setpoint output. The 4 to 100Ā kHz outputs can be used to:
- Directly control stepper motors
- Output frequencies
or, via the PWM function:
- Directly control valves or,
- Digitally transmit analog signals
In addition, the CPU offers comprehensive control functionalities via easy-to-configure blocks as well as the ability to connect drives via standardized PLC-open blocks.
The CPU 1512C-1Ā PN can be used as a PROFINET IO controller or as distributed intelligence (PROFINET I-Device). The integrated PROFINET IO IRT interface is designed as a 2-port switch so that a linear topology can be set up in the system.
