Application
The CPU 1516TF-3 PN is the CPU with a large program and data memory for demanding standard and fail-safe applications in applications that also contain distributed automation structures alongside central I/O.
For distributed configuration via PROFINET IO with PROFIsafe. The CPU can be used as a PROFINET IO Controller or as distributed intelligence (PROFINET I-Device). For distributed configuration via PROFINET IO.
The integrated PROFINET interfaces can be used, for example, for network separation, for connecting PROFINET IO RT / IRT devices, or for high-speed communication as an I-Device.
With the third PROFINET interface with a separate IP address and Gbit Ethernet, network separation or coupling via Gbit Ethernet to a higher-level network can be achieved, for example.
In addition, the CPU offers comprehensive control functionalities as well as the ability to connect drives via standardized PLCopen blocks.
Furthermore, multiple SIMATIC S7-1500T Controllers can be synchronized with one another through cross-PLC synchronous operation.
