Product overview
2.3 Properties
Properties
CPU 1511T-1 PN has the following technical properties:
● Motion Control:
All CPUs support the standard Motion Control functions via the technology objects speed
axes, positioning axes, synchronized axes, external encoders, cams, cam tracks and
measuring inputs.
– Speed-controlled axis for controlling a drive with speed specification
– Positioning axis for position-controlled positioning of a drive
– Synchronous axis to interconnect with a master value. The axis is synchronized to the
– External encoder for detecting the actual position of an encoder
– Cams, cam track for position-dependent generation of switching signals
– Measuring input for fast, accurate and event-dependent sensing of actual positions
The technology CPUs of the SIMATIC S7-1500 also support the technology object:
– Cam for specification of the synchronous function for camming
Motion Control instructions based on PLCopen are available for programming the
technology objects.
A detailed description of the use of Motion Control and its configuration is available in the
S7-1500T Motion Control
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109481326) function manual.
You can also use the TIA Selection Tool
(http://w3.siemens.com/mcms/topics/en/simatic/tia-selection-tool) or the SIZER
(http://w3.siemens.com/mcms/mc-solutions/en/engineering-software/drive-design-tool-
sizer/Pages/drive-design-tool-sizer.aspx) for the selection and design of the axes.
Integrated closed-loop control functionality
– PID Compact (continuous PID controller)
– PID 3Step (step controller for integrating actuators)
– PID Temp (temperature controller for heating and cooling with two separate actuators)
● Communication:
– Interfaces
– OPC UA

master axis position.
CPU 1511-1 PN has an interface with two ports.
The 1st PROFINET interface (X1 P1, X1 P2) has two ports. In addition to PROFINET
basic functionality, it also supports PROFINET IO RT (real-time) and IRT (isochronous
real-time). PROFINET IO communication or real-time settings can be configured.
Port 1 and port 2 can also be used as ring ports for the configuration of redundant ring
structures in Ethernet.
The basic functionality of PROFINET supports HMI communication, communication
with the configuration system, communication with a higher-level network (backbone,
router, Internet) and communication with another machine or automation cell.
With OPC UA, data is exchanged via an open and vendor-neutral communication
protocol. The CPU, as OPC UA server, can communicate with OPC UA clients such
as HMI panels, SCADA systems, etc.
