You can choose between CPUs with various levels of performance and a comprehensive
range of modules with many convenient functions. Fail-safe CPUs enable use in fail-safe
applications. The modular design allows you to use only the modules that you need for your
application. The controller can be retrofitted with additional modules at any time to expand
its range of tasks.
High industrial suitability due to the high resistance to EMC, shock and vibration enable
universal use of the SIMATIC S7-1500, S7-1500R/H and S7-1500T automation systems.
