SIMATIC S7-1500 Advanced Controllers
Central processing units
Standard CPUs
CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP

• 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
• C/C++ functions can be called and executed in the CPU runtime.
• In parallel to the CPU Runtime, there is an additional C/C++ runtime, in which call-independent, i.e. stand alone,
C/C++ applications can be executed.
• Used as central PLC 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 addresses 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 facilitates data transfer at a speed of 1 Gbps.
• PROFIBUS DP master interface
• OPC UA Server and Client as runtime option for the easy connection of SIMATIC S7-1500 to non-Siemens devices/systems with the functions:
– OPC UA Data Access
– OPC UA Security
– OPC UA Methods Call
– Support of OPC UA Companion specifications
– OPC UA Alarms & Conditions
• Central and distributed isochronous mode on PROFIBUS and PROFINET
• Integrated Motion Control functionalities for controlling speed-controlled and positioning axes, support for external encoders, gearing between axes, output cams/cam tracks and probes
• Integrated web server for diagnostics with the option of creating user-defined web pages
Multi-functional platform
With the multi-functional platform (MFP), more functionality can
be accommodated in a module. The computing power of the
CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP allows the merging of previously
separate applications on a common platform while continuing to
meet the high S7-1500 demands with regard to maintenance
and ruggedness.
This means that, in addition to the control function, it is also
possible to process typical PC applications on the multifunctional platform, e.g. tasks that:
• require high-level language programming,
• are developed based on models, or
• have to be solved via databases.
Thus, in addition to the option of running C/C++ code in the
standard STEP 7 program, the CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP
multi-functional platform provides an additional second
independent runtime environment in order to execute C/C++
applications in parallel to the STEP 7 program if required.
Control-independent applications, e.g. protocol converters,
database applications and others, can be created in C/C++.
This simplifies the creation or reuse of customer-specific,
high-level language applications.
The CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP has the quantity structure and
functionality of a CPU 1518-4 PN/DP with regard to the control
unit. In addition to the user program created with STEP 7 in
the TIA Portal, C/C++ functions formulated via the
SIMATIC ODK 1500S can be integrated into the standard
user program. By using SIMATIC ODK 1500S (ODK – Open
Development Kit), higher-level programming language
mechanisms, such as object orientation, can also be utilized.
Furthermore, with the SIMATIC Target 1500STM engineering
package for Simulink®, it is also possible to integrated complex
Simulink models to take advantage of the model-based
development using MATLAB and Simulink®.
