6ES7672-8AC02-0YA0 Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller CPU 1508S Original Brand New

The SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller standard CPU 1508S V30.1 implements the function of an S7-1500 Controller as software on a PC with Windows. This enables a PC to be used for controlling machines or plants.

• Configuring and programming with the STEP 7 engineering tool in TIA Portal
• Programmable according to IEC 61131-3
• Supported programming languages:
  • SCL (IL)
  • LAD
  • FBD
  • STL
  • GRAPH7 (SFC)
• Innovative real-time system based on virtualization technology;
  The SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller real-time system enables operation parallel to and independent of Windows:
  • Maximum real-time and deterministic properties
  • Operation independent of operating system – supports restart of operating system while the PLC is in operation
  • Fast PLC start-up independent of the operating system
• High-speed program execution with multiple priority-controlled execution levels (cyclic, time-controlled, isochronous with PROFINET, event-driven via process and diagnostic interrupts)
• Saving of retentive data; the SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller ensures the plant data is secure, even in the event of a voltage failure:
  • Storage of retentive data on PC hard disk (UPS required)
  • Saving of retentive data on the NVRAM of the SIMATIC IPC possible during voltage dips
• Communication
  The SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller uses the interfaces of the PC for PROFINET:
  • Windows-independent use of PROFINET for operating distributed I/O. Depending on the interface hardware used, the following functions are possible: PROFINET IO with RT or IRT, PROFIenergy, I-Device
  • Communication (SIMATIC communication, open user communication) with Windows applications or external devices via the Windows interfaces of the PC
  • OPC UA server and client with the functions:
    OPC UA Data Access,
    OPC UA Security,
    OPC UA Method Call,
    Support of the OPC UA Companion Specification.
    Accessible via the PROFINET interfaces of the SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller as well as locally (PC internal) using Windows applications with OPC UA functionality.
• Integrated web server
  Scanning the CPU via the web server is supported by all CPUs of the S7‑1500 automation system. The CPU web server offers the following diagnostics options:
  • Image of the CPU with LEDs and the current operating state
  • Readout of the diagnostics buffer entries
  • Query of module status
  • Query of current messages
  • Information on the topology status / PROFINET devices
  • Transfer and management of user data into load memory of the CPU
  • User-programmable web pages for supporting servicing and commissioning of specific machine functions
• Trace functionality
  The trace function is supported by all CPUs of the S7-1500 automation system. It supports the recording of analog and digital variables for each cycle and their representation as a curve with STEP 7. This is especially useful for Motion Control or closed-loop control applications.
• Integrated technology:
  • PLCopen blocks for programming the motion functionality via PROFINET IO and PROFIdrive interface.
    Functionality:
    Speed control
    Positioning
    Output cams/measuring inputs
    Gearing (relative)
  • Integrated control functionality;
    Universal PID or 3-step controller with integrated optimization and temperature controller.
• Integrated system diagnostics:
  System diagnostics are automatically generated and displayed via a PG/PC, HMI device, the web server or the integral display. System diagnostics are also available when the CPU is in STOP mode.
• Integrated safety:
  • Improved security for SIMATIC PG/HMI communication and protection of confidential configuration data
  • Know-how protection
    Algorithms can be reliably protected against unauthorized access and modification.
  • Access protection
    Extended, comprehensive protection against unauthorized configuration changes. Various authorization levels are available for assigning separate rights to different user groups.
  • Integrity protection
    The system protects the data transferred to the CPU against unauthorized tampering. Modified or third-party transmissions of engineering data are reliably detected and prevented by the CPU.
• Execution of ODK function libraries
  • Loading of ODK function libraries
  • Asynchronous execution of functions under Windows
  • Synchronous execution of functions in real-time context
• The SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller is supported by the SIMATIC Automation Tool (SAT Tool) and will support fail-safe project import in the future. For a detailed overview of the functionalities of the SAT tool, please refer to the documentation.
• SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller licenses are backwards-compatible (V30.X licenses also work for the V21.X)
• Importing and exporting the configuration via a file (*.psc file)
  • Transferring a configuration (hardware configuration and user program) to a target system as file
  • The configuration can be imported into the target system without additional tools by means of command line entries, e.g. script-controlled
  • A configuration file can be created from the TIA Portal project or from a configured SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller
  • This allows simple upgrading of existing installations of backups of the configuration for a spare part scenario.
