ET 200SP Open Controller, CPU 1515SP PC2, combines robustness and compact dimensions with the flexibility of centralized or decentralized communication in the highest industrial functionality. Furthermore, the CPU offers the entire value added of the ET 200SP system, the S7-1500 controller family and the TIA world together.
- Rugged, compact control system
- Combines the functions of a ET 200SP controller with those of a PC-based platform
- Turnkey all-in-one controller
- High performance automation tasks with the use of new generation Intel Quad Core processors
- Connects high-level language applications and processes high data volumes with support from SIMATIC ODK 1500S
The CPU 1515SP PC2 can be used to control special and series machines as well as plants in a centralized or distributed configuration. The standard and fail-safe user program is generated in the TIA Portal. The controller is especially suitable for machines with high data volumes, e.g. for quality assurance with camera inspection and image transmission, or printer connection.
The CPU 1515SP PC2 develops its full potential particularly:
- When special automation functions have to be integrated using the C or C++ programming languages
- When a close connection of Windows software to the software controller is required, or
- When large volumes of data have to be stored.
The CPU 1515SP PC2 + HMI is offered with pre-installed WinCC Runtime Advanced for additional HMI functionality. This enables control and visualization to be integrated on a single device.
The CPU 1515SP PC2 is mounted on the standard DIN rail like all ET 200SP CPUs.
ET 200SP I/O modules can be used directly and centrally, and they communicate via the integrated backplane bus.
PN IO and S7 communication can be established and distributed I/Os can be connected via the PROFINET BusAdapters of the ET 200SP system (not included in scope of supply). This way, the system can be integrated into existing automation environments with little effort.
The PROFIBUS CM DP module extends the CPU 1515SP PC2 to include PROFIBUS communication. The fail-safe versions support the PROFIsafe communication mechanisms.
The following interfaces are available:
- 1 x Gb Ethernet
- 1 x PN IO interface via ET 200SP BusAdapter with 2 ports
- 2 x USB 2.0 / 2x USB 3.0 at the front, for connecting a keyboard, mouse and USB flash drive, for example
- 1 x display port, for connecting a SIMATIC Flat Panel or multi-touch device, for example
The CPU also features the following:
- Mode switch
- Replaceable mass storage CFast with security seal
- Additional memory slot for SD/MMC
- Status LEDs
- Connection for 24 V DC supply voltage
Various turnkey and preconfigured variants are available with Windows 10 Enterprise on a 30 GB CFast card to suit different requirements:
- CPU 1515SP PC2
- CPU 1515SP PC2 + HMI (incl. WinCC Runtime Advanced with 128/512/2 048 PowerTags)
- Configuring and programming with the STEP 7 engineering tool (and WinCC Advanced for the HMI option) in the TIA Portal:
- Programmable according to IEC 61131-3
- Supported programming languages:
SCL (IL), LAD, FBD, STL, GRAPH7 (SFC)
- Innovative real-time system based on visualization technology:
The real-time system of the integrated S7-1500 software controllers enables parallel operation independent of the operating system:- Maximum real-time and deterministic properties
- Supports restart of Windows while the controller is in operation
- High-speed program execution with several priority-controlled execution levels (cyclic, time-controlled, isochronous with PROFINET or PROFIBUS, event-driven via process and diagnostics alarms)
- Saving of retentive data:
The CPU 1515SP PC2 ensures the security of the plant data, even when the power fails:- Saving of retentive data on the NVRAM of the CPU possible during voltage dips (default)
- Retentive data storage possible on CPU CFast card (UPS required)
- Communication:
- PROFINET IO communication via the ET 200SP BusAdapter; PROFIBUS communication via ET 200SP CM DP:
PROFINET IO RT/IRT, isochronous mode, IO controller, I-Device, media redundancy, PROFIenergy, PROFIBUS DP master - SIMATIC and Open User communication with Windows applications or external devices via the Windows interfaces (GB Ethernet) of the CPU
- Configuration control (option handling) for flexible variations of the central configuration
- Configure a controller and operate variants (options) that differ from this configuration
- Integrated web server:
Scanning the CPU via the web server is supported by all CPUs of the S7?1500 automation system. The CPU Web server offers the following diagnostics options:- Image of the CPU with LEDs and the current operating state
- Readout of the diagnostics buffer entries
- Query of module status
- Query of current messages
- Information on the status of the topology/PROFINET devices
- Transfer and management of user data on the load memory of the CPU
- User-programmable Web pages for supporting servicing and commissioning of specific machine functions
- Trace functionality:
The trace function is supported by all CPUs of the S7-1500 automation system. It enables recording of analog and digital variables for each cycle and their representation as a curve with STEP 7. This is especially useful for motion control or closed-loop control applications - Integrated technology:
- Control of PROFIdrive-capable drives and drives with analog setpoint interfaces via standardized motion control instructions (PLCopen)
- Trace functions for all CPU tags, both for diagnostics in real time as well as for sporadic error detection; can also be called via the web server of the CPU
- Comprehensive control functionalities, e.g. easy to configure blocks for automatic optimization of the control parameters for maximum control performance.
- Integrated system diagnostics:
System diagnostics can be displayed via a connected monitor, an HMI device, the web server, or the operator panel of the software controller. Drive messages are also displayed in this way. System diagnostics are also available when the CPU is in STOP mode. If new hardware components are configured, the diagnostic information is updated automatically. - Integrated safety:
- Know-how protection:
Algorithms and program blocks can be reliably password-protected against unauthorized access and modification. - Access protection:
Extended access protection provides comprehensive protection against unauthorized configuration changes. Various authorization levels are available for assigning separate rights to different user groups. - Integrity protection:
The system protects the data transferred to the CPU against unauthorized tampering. Modified or third-party transmission of engineering data are safely detected by the CPU.
Note
Some functions of the CPU 1515SP PC2, such as Windows Hello, Cortana with voice output, support for 5-point touch, etc., may require extended hardware. This hardware can be connected as a USB device.
