Integrated technology
Motion control integrated without additional modules:
- Standardised blocks (PLCopen) for connection of analog and PROFIdrive-capable drives
- The Motion control functionality supports speed-controlled axes, positioning axes, relative synchronous operation (synchronising without specification of the synchronised position), as well as external encoders, cams and probes.
- Extended motion control functions such as absolute synchronous operation (synchronising with specification of the synchronised position), camming and functions for controlling kinematics are also integrated in the technology CPUs.
- Comprehensive trace functions for all CPU tags for real-time diagnostics and sporadic error detection;
- for effective commissioning and quick optimisation of drives and controls

- Additional functions through available technology modules:
- e.g. high-speed counting, position detection, or measurement functions for signals up to 1 MHz
Safely integrated
- Protection of personnel and machinery – within the framework of an integrated complete system
- Fail-safe SIMATIC S7-1500(T)F controllers for processing standard and safety programs on the same controller.
- The fail-safe and standard user programs are created in the TIA Portal with the same editors; fail-safe data, for example, can therefore be evaluated like standard data in the standard user program. Due to this integration the system benefits and the comprehensive functionality of SIMATIC are also available for fail-safe applications.
Redundant systems
CPU 1513R-1 PN, CPU 1515R-2 PN
CPU 1517H-3 PN/FO
- Redundant S7-1500R/H CPUs for applications where availability of the controller is crucial.
- Both CPUs are connected with the I/O stations via a PROFINET-IO ring. Synchronisation for the S7-1500R is via this ring, or via separate FOC synchronisation cables for the S7-1500H. In the event of a CPU failure, the back-up CPU automatically assumes control of the process. No data is lost and the process can be continued extremely quickly. The PROFINET IO ring ensures that all nodes remain accessible in the event of a fieldbus interruption.
- The engineering corresponds to that of a standard CPU. The TIA Portal and redundant CPUs handle the synchronisation of the programs and data. All without any additional overhead for the user.
SIMATIC S7-1500R mode of operation
Security Integrated
- Password-based know-how protection against unauthorised read-out and modification of program blocks
- Copy protection for greater protection against unauthorised copying of program blocks:
With copy protection, individual blocks on the SIMATIC memory card can be tied to its serial number so that the block can only be run if the configured memory card is inserted into the CPU. - Rights concept with four different authorisation levels:
Different access rights can be assigned to various user groups. The new protection level 4 makes it possible to also restrict communication to HMI devices. - Improved manipulation protection:
Changed or unauthorised transfers of engineering data are detected by the controller. - For use of an Ethernet CP (CP 1543-1):
- Additional access protection by means of a firewall
- Establishment of secure VPN connections

Design
General
An S7-1500 automation system has a modular design and comprises up to 32 modules. It has a comprehensive range of modules that can be combined individually. The S7-1500 automation system supports one-tier configurations where all modules are mounted on one DIN rail (see Manual for requirements).
A system includes the following:
- Controller: CPUs with different grades of performance with integrated PROFINET interface, or PROFINET and PROFIBUS interface, for connection of distributed I/O and for communication between programming device, operator panel, other SIMATIC controllers or third-party devices.
Various CPU versions are available for SIMATIC S7-1500:- Standard CPUs (as MFP version: capable of executing C/C++ code on the controller)
- Compact CPUs with digital and analog inputs and outputs as well as counter inputs and high-speed outputs for integrated technological functions direct on the CPU
- Fail-safe CPUs (as MFP version: capable of executing C/C++ code on the controller) for the execution of standard and safety-related programs on the same computer
- Technology CPUs with extended Motion Control functions such as absolute synchronous operation (synchronising with specification of the synchronised position), camming and functions for controlling kinematics.
- Signal modules for digital and analog inputs/outputs.
- Technology modules, e.g. for high-speed counting, position detection, or measurement functions.
- Communication modules and communications processors for expansion of controllers by communications interfaces
The following can also be used depending on requirements:
- Power supply modules (PS), to supply the internal electronics of the S7-1500 modules via the backplane bus, in case the output of the CPU to the backplane bus is not sufficient for all connected modules. In addition, the 60 W 24/48/60 V DC HF PS enables the CPU to retentively store its entire work memory for data.
- Load power supply modules (PMs) for connecting the SIMATIC S7-1500 to a supply voltage of 120/230 V AC.
- Interface modules to connect distributed I/O based on S7-1500.
Design
The simple design makes the SIMATIC S7-1500 versatile and service-friendly.
- Integrated backplane bus:
The backplane bus is integrated into the modules. The modules are connected via U connectors plugged into the rear of the enclosures. This saves time during installation. - Module assembly on S7-1500 mounting rails:
available in various lengths, including a version for cutting to length. A wide range of standard components such as additional terminals, miniature circuit breakers, or small relays can be snapped on due to the integrated DIN rail. - Reliable and user-friendly wiring:
- The I/O signals are connected via a uniform 40-pole front connector. The mechanical coding between the signal module and front connector prevents destruction of the electronics by accidental incorrect insertion.
- For simple wiring of the front connector, it can be placed in the “prewiring position”. In this position, the plug has no contact with the module electronics yet. This position can also be used to make changes during operation. The user is supported by a printed cabling diagram on the inside of the front flap.
- Front connectors are available as versions with screw-type terminals or push-in terminals. Both versions permit the connection of wires with a core cross-section from 0.25 mm2 to 1.5 mm2 (AWG 24 to AWG 16).
- In addition, system wiring via TOP Connect is available for digital signal modules. It allows the quick and clearly arranged connection to sensors and actuators from the field as well as simple wiring within the control cabinet.
- For analog modules, the shielding can take place direct on the module; a shield connection set that can be installed without tools is included with the module.
- Plant-specific labeling:
Labeling strips are available for the signal modules of the SIMATIC S7-1500. These DIN A4 sheets can be labeled using a standard laser printer. Automatic printing is possible from the TIA Portal without having to re-enter the symbols or addresses. The labeling strips are designed such that there is a 1:1 assignment of the labeling for channel or diagnostics display. If the front flap is opened, this 1:1 assignment of diagnostics display to terminal is retained. - Variable and scalable station setup:
- Signal modules and communication modules can be inserted in any way without restrictions. The system configures itself.
- The maximum configuration comprises the CPU with 31 modules (30 modules + 1 power supply). The power supply (PS) is required to supply the internal electronics of the S7-1500 modules via the backplane bus, in case the output of the CPU to the backplane bus is not sufficient for all connected modules.
- Compact dimensions:
SIMATIC S7-1500 is dimensioned so that it fits perfectly in the installation space of a SIMATIC S7-300 controller or ET 200M I/O system. - Flexible installation:
The SIMATIC S7-1500 and its modules can be installed both vertically and horizontally to provide an optimum fit to the available space.
