Integrated security features
Ensuring personal and machine safety - within an integrated system platform
The fail safe SIMATIC S7-1500 (T) F controller can handle both standard and safety programs on the same controller.
The fault safe user program and standard user program are created using the same editor in TIA Portal; Therefore, fault safety data can be analyzed in the same way as standard data in standard user programs. Due to this software integration, fault safety applications can also utilize SIMATIC's system advantages and comprehensive functionality.
Redundant system
The redundant S7-1500R/H CPU is suitable for applications that require PLC to have extremely high availability.
Two CPUs are connected to the I/O station through a PROFINET IO ring network. The synchronization of S7-1500R is achieved through this ring network or through a separate FOC synchronization cable suitable for S7-1500H. In case of CPU failure, the backup CPU will automatically assume control of the process. The data will not be lost, and the process can continue quickly. The PROFINET IO ring network ensures that all nodes remain accessible when the fieldbus is interrupted.
The configuration method is the same as the standard CPU. The synchronization of TIA Portal and redundant CPU processing programs with data. Users will not have any additional expenses.
Integrated security features
Protect proprietary technology through passwords to prevent unauthorized reading and modification of program blocks
To increase the level of protection and prevent unauthorized copying of program blocks through replication protection:
By copying protection, the program block on the SIMATIC memory card can be bound to its serial number, so that the program block can only run when the configured memory card is inserted into the CPU.
Has four different levels of authorization:
Different access permissions can be assigned to different user groups. With the new protection level 4, communication with HMI devices can also be restricted.
Improved operational protection:
The controller will detect changes in configuration data or unauthorized transmission.
For Ethernet communication processors (CP 1543-1):
Provide additional access protection through firewall
Establish a secure VPN connection
Design and Operation
A CPU equipped with a monitor that can display plain text information (a display simulation tool on the Internet):
Can display ordering numbers, firmware versions, and serial number information for all connected modules
Directly set the IP address of the CPU on site and perform other network settings without the need for a programmer
Directly displaying error messages in plain text format can shorten downtime
All modules adopt a unified front connector and have integrated voltage bridge components for flexible formation of voltage groups, simplifying inventory and reducing wiring
The S7-1500 rail is integrated with DIN rails:
Quickly and conveniently install additional components such as small circuit breakers and relays
Centralized expansion through signal modules:
Flexible adjustments can be made according to the requirements of any application
System cable connection for digital signal module:
Can be quickly and clearly arranged to connect to on-site sensors and actuators and perform simple wiring in the control cabinet
Power Supply:
The load power module (power module) can provide a 24V power supply to the module
The power module can provide power to the internal circuits of the module through the backplane bus
A system power module used to permanently store the entire working memory content (excellent 20 MB) on the controller
Distributed Expansion:
Through the PROFINET interface module IM 155-5, up to 30 signal modules, communication modules, and process function modules can be used for the ET 200MP I/O system
There is no difference in operation and system functionality between centralized and distributed operations
Integrated system diagnosis
The integrated system diagnosis of the CPU is activated by default:
Consistently display system diagnostic information in plain text format on displays, TIA Portal, HMI, and web servers, and even display frequency converter messages. Even if the CPU is in a stopped state, messages will be updated.
The system diagnostic function is integrated into the CPU firmware. No user configuration is required. When the configuration changes, diagnostic information will be automatically updated.
