SIMATIC Memory Card required for operation of the CPU
Application
The CPU 1515-2 PN is the CPU with a medium program and data memory for applications that also contain distributed automation structures alongside central I/O. It can be used as a PROFINET IO controller or as distributed intelligence (PROFINET I-Device). The integrated PROFINET IO IRT interface is designed as 2-port switch so that a linear topology can be set up in the system. The additional integrated PROFINET interface with separate IP address can be used for network separation, connecting further PROFINET IO RT devices, or high-speed communication as an I-Device, for example. In addition, the CPU offers comprehensive control functionalities as well as the ability to connect drives via standardized PLCopen blocks.
Design
The CPU 1515-2 PN features:
- A powerful processor:
The CPU achieves command execution times as low as 6Ā ns per binary instruction. - A large work memory:
1 MB for program, 4.5 MB for data - SIMATIC Memory Cards as load memory;
permit additional functions such as datalog and archives - Flexible expansion capability:
single-tier configuration with max. 32 modules (CPU + 31 modules) - Display with functions for:
- Display of overview information such as IP address of the integrated interface, device name, plant designation, location designation, etc.
- Display and acknowledgment of diagnostic and user messages
- Display of module information
- Showing display settings
- Display of a user-definable logo
- Setting of IP addresses
- Setting of date and time
- Selecting the operating mode
- Resetting of the CPU to factory settings
- Backup and restoring of the project
- Disabling/enabling of the display
- Enabling of protection levels
- PROFINET IO IRT interface for connecting distributed I/O via PROFINET
- PROFINET interface for network separation
Function
- Performance
- Faster command processing, depending on the CPU type, language extensions and new data types
- Even shorter response times of the CPUs due to considerably faster backplane bus
- High-performance network connection:
Each CPU is equipped with PROFINET IO IRT (2-port switch) as standard interface. In addition, the CPU 1515-2 PN features a second PROFINET interface, e.g. for network separation, for connecting further PROFINET IO RT devices, or for high-speed communication as an I-device.
- Integrated technology
- Connection of analog and PROFIdrive-capable drives via standardized blocks (PLCopen)
- Support of speed-controlled and positioning axes as well as external encoders, precise position gearing between axes, output cams/output cam tracks and probes
- Trace functions for all CPU tags, both for diagnostics in real time as well as for sporadic error detection; can also be called via the web server of the CPU
- Extensive control functionalities, e.g. easily configurable blocks for automatic optimization of the control parameters for optimum control quality
- Security Integrated
- Password-based know-how protection against unauthorized read-out and modification of program blocks
- Copy protection for tying individual blocks to the serial number of the SIMATIC Memory Card: The block can only run if the configured memory card is inserted in the CPU.
- 4-stage authorization concept:
Communication to operator panels can also be restricted. - Manipulation protection:
The controller recognizes changed or unauthorized transmissions of the engineering data.
- Design and handling
- Display of overview information:
E.g. Station name, plant designation, location designation, etc., diagnostic information, module information, display settings. - Possible operations on the display:
Set addresses of the CPU or connected Ethernet communications processors, set date and time, select operating mode of CPU, reset CPU to factory settings, disable/enable display, activate protection levels, acknowledge messages, backup and restoring of the project.
- Display of overview information:
- Integrated system diagnostics
- System diagnostics information is displayed consistently and in plain text in the display, TIA Portal, operator panels and web server, even for messages from the drives, and updated even if the CPU is in STOP mode.
- Integrated in the firmware of the CPU, no special configuration is required
- SIMATIC Memory Card (required for operation of the CPU)
- Used as plug-in load memory or for updating the firmware.
- Also for storing additional documents or csv files (for recipes and archives)
- Creation of data blocks and storage/reading of data via SFCs of the user program
- Datalog (archives) and recipes
- Storage of csv files for recipes and archives on the SIMATIC Memory Card;
easy access to plant-relevant operating data using Office tools or via web server - Easy access to machine configuration data by means of a Web browser or SD card reader (two-way data exchange from and to the controller)
- Storage of csv files for recipes and archives on the SIMATIC Memory Card;
- Programming
- Programming with STEPĀ 7Ā Professional, V13 and higher
- Migration tool for migrating from SIMATICĀ S7-300/S7-400 to S7-1500; converts the program code largely automatically. Non-convertible code is logged and can be manually adapted.
- S7-1200 basic programs can be transferred to S7-1500 by copy and paste.
