Areas of application SIMATIC S7-1500 and ET 200MP

Area of application SIMATIC S7-1500
The SIMATIC S7-1500 automation system offers you the required flexibility and performance
for a wide range of controller applications in machine and plant engineering. The scalable
configuration makes it possible for you to adapt your PLC onsite to the local conditions.
As well as the standard motion control and technology functions available in the S7-1500,
SIMATIC S7-1500 technology CPUs offer you additional features such as enhanced
synchronous operation and kinematics functions.
The SIMATIC S7-1500 automation system conforms with IP20 degree of protection and is
intended for use in a dry environment and installation in a control cabinet.
SIMATIC S7-1500R/H CPUs (redundant or fault-tolerant CPUs) offer you the option to increase
the availability of your system. In order to be able to switch from the primary CPU to the
backup CPU in case of need, the user program is processed synchronously on two CPUs.
Area of application Distributed I/O system ET 200MP
SIMATIC ET 200MP is a modular, scalable and universally usable distributed I/O system.
SIMATIC ET 200MP offers the same system benefits as the SIMATIC S7-1500. A central
controller accesses the I/O modules of the ET 200MP as central I/O modules via PROFINET or
PROFIBUS.
SIMATIC ET 200MP convinces with its high performance:
• For shortest response times
• For large configuration limits
• For fastest applications
This is also accompanied by the high-speed backplane bus, special input/output modules and
the consistent use of PROFINET mechanisms.
Area of application F-system SIMATIC Safety with S7-1500 and ET 200MP
By using fail-safe SIMATIC S7-1500 CPUs and modules, you can implement applications for
safety engineering. This enables you to achieve almost seamless integration of machine
safety into the SIMATIC S7-1500 and ET 200MP. You use one system at the same time for
both your standard and fail-safe automation. This provides you with economic benefits,
reliability as well as potential savings on hardware, engineering tasks and storage costs.
