Features Applications Model

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
Two additional PROFINET interfaces with separate IP address; the PROFINET interface X3 also offers the option of transferring data at a rate of 1 Gbit/s.
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.
PROFIBUS DP master interface
Isochronous mode on PROFIBUS and PROFINET
Integrated Motion Control functionalities for controlling speed-controlled and positioning axes, support for external encoders
Integrated web server with the option of creating user-defined web pages

The CPU 1518-4 PN/DP is the fastest S7-1500 CPU with very large program and data memory for demanding tasks in applications that also contain distributed automation structures alongside central I/O. It can be used, for example, as a central controller in production lines or as a machine controller with high processing speed demands.
The CPU 1518-4 PN/DP can be used as a PROFINET IO controller or as distributed intelligence (PROFINET I-Device). The integrated PROFINET IO IRT interface is designed as 2-port switch so that a linear topology can be set up in the system.
Two additional integrated PROFINET interfaces with separate IP address can be used, for example, for network separation.
Distributed I/O can be connected via PROFIBUS via the integrated PROFIBUS interface.
In addition, the CPU offers comprehensive control functionalities as well as the ability to connect drives via standardized PLC-open blocks.
