The CPU with a very large program and data memory in the S7-1500 controller product range for demanding applications with extremely high requirements regarding program scope, performance and networking
Extremely high processing speed for binary and floating-point arithmetic
For cross-industry automation tasks in series machine, special machine and plant construction
Used as central controller in production lines with central and distributed I/O
PROFINET IO IRT interface with 2-port switch
PROFINET IO controller for operating distributed I/O on PROFINET.
PROFINET I-Device for connecting the CPU as an intelligent PROFINET device under a SIMATIC or non-Siemens PROFINET IO controller.
Two additional PROFINET interfaces with separate IP address; for network separation. The PROFINET interface X2 can be used for connecting additional PROFINET IO RT devices or for fast communication as an I-Device. The PROFINET interface X3 gives you the capability of transferring data at a speed of 1 Gbit/s.
