SIMATIC S7-1500F – CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP – Siemens PLC

$ 16,284.65

SKU: 6ES7518-4FP00-0AB0

The CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP is the most powerful S7-1500 CPU with a very large program and data memory for demanding standard and fail-safe applications that also contain distributed automation structures alongside central I/O. It can be used, for example, as a central PLC in production lines or as a machine PLC with high processing speed demands.

The CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP is used as a PROFINET IO controller or as distributed intelligence (PROFINET I-Device). The integrated PROFINET IO IRT interface is designed as a 2-port switch, enabling a linear topology to be set up in the system. The additional integrated PROFINET interfaces with separate IP address can be used for network separation, for example.

Distributed I/O can be connected via PROFIBUS (or PROFIsafe) via the integrated PROFIBUS interface.

In addition, the CPU offers comprehensive control functionalities, as well as the ability to connect drives via standardized PLCopen blocks.
