More from Siemens

Integrated diagnostics – rapid fault finding via granular reporting in clear text including globally via webserver.

Maximum manipulation protection - additional password protection for access to F Config and F program.

Communication between fail-safe CPU and fail-safe modules is verified using the PROFIsafe protocol.

Based on S7-1500 standard CPU’s advanced controllers offering scalability in terms of power, memory and quantity structure – future-proof communication with OPC UA and PROFINET, and basic motion control function.

Convenient wiring thanks to pre-wiring position and potential bridges, where the high-density channel can be directly addressed during the engineering.

CPU display/web server for diagnostics, commissioning and service (variable status, alarms, IP address assignment, backup).

The automatic generation of system and user diagnostics enables quick error detection, any errors can be quickly localized on-site thanks to 1:1 LED channel assignment for peripheral systems.
