S7-1500 PLC
Siemens has
designed S7-1500 advanced controller to have new features, with increased
Security options, SIMATIC safety, integrated drives & motion control,
Diagnostics color display, I device functionality, creating user defined web
pages.
Innovative features of S7-1500 PLC
Use of 1500 controller
ensures highest efficiency, and maximum usability for medium and high-end
applications in machine and system automation.
Diagnostics Display
Main aggregate of 1500 PLC is
troubleshooting through color display
S7-1500 PLC provides Color
display for easy access to detail diagnostics.
User need not to go in software option for checking error. This will
reduce the time required to diagnose the problem by providing complete plant
transparency.
User can do many more
settings in display of 1500 PLC like setting IP address of the hardware device,
Security
S7-1500 has facility to protect the display so that
unauthorized person will not be able to access the PLC Program & parameter
settings.
Safety
To meet the evolving needs of various industries fail-safe
versions of the controllers are used that will better enhance every production
process. Fail-safe CPU’s execute both standard programs and safety program as
well. So need for separate safety PLC’s is eliminated.
STEP 7 language innovations
Only limited
languages are supported by predecessors of 1500 but in 1500 Controller total 11
languages are supported for programming as well as for color Display.
Potential Bridges:
Integrated
Potential bridges for flexible potential group formation reduces the
wiring cost.
Shared
Device Functionality
One I/O device can be shared by more than one
controller for e.g. A Drive and a safety controller can share one IO device.
One interface is sufficient for both clock-synchronous control of the drive and
fail-safe communication.
Industrial Automation
continuously demanding fast response time of the system in order to increase
production efficiency & to reduce downtime of the Plant.
S7-1500 is the best solution to achieve all those
requirements by providing response time less than 900 micro second.
By keeping in mind characteristics of 1500 PLC
COTMAC Knowledge center has designed Special training module for S7-1500 PLC.
