Product overview
3.2 Application
The modular design allows you to use only those 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.
Performance segments of standard CPUs
The CPUs can be used for smaller and mid-range applications, as well as for the high-end
range of machine and plant automation.
