found in the subsections below.The hardware of the CPU 1512C-1 PN consists of a CPU part, an analog on-board I/O (X10)
and a digital on-board I/O (X11 and X12). When configured in the TIA Portal, the compact
CPU therefore occupies a single shared slot (slot 1).
The properties of the CPU part, the analog on-board I/O and the digital on-board I/O can be
found in the subsections below.

Accessories
The following accessories are included in the scope of delivery and can also be ordered
separately as spare parts:
● 3 x front connector (push-in terminals) including cable ties
● 3 x shield clamp
● 3 x shield terminal
● 3 x infeed element (push-in terminals)
● 3 x labeling strip
● 3 x universal front cover
For more information on accessories, refer to the , ET 200MP system manual Note that a protective film is attached to the display of the CPU when shipped from the
factory. Remove the protective film if necessary.The CPU 1512C-1 PN has the following technical properties:
● Communication:
– Interfaces
The CPU 1512C-1 PN has a PROFINET interface (X1) with two ports (P1 R and
P2 R). It supports not only PROFINET basic functionality but also PROFINET IO RT
(realtime) and IRT (isochronous realtime), which means you can configure
PROFINET IO communication or realtime settings on the interface. Port 1 and port 2
can also be used as ring ports for configuring redundant ring structures in Ethernet
(media redundancy).
PROFINET basic functionality supports HMI communication, communication with the
configuration system, communication with a higher-level network (backbone, router,
) and communication with another machine or automation cell.
You can find more information on "PROFINET IO" in the online help of STEP 7
(TIA Portal) and the PROFINET Function Manual OPC UA
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, etcIntegrated Web server:
A Web server is integrated in the CPU. The Web server enables monitoring and
administering of the CPU by authorized users over a network. Evaluations, diagnostics,
and modifications are thus possible over long distances. All you need is a web browser.
With the Web server, you can read out the following data from the CPU and, in some
cases, modify and write back the data to the CPU.
– Start page with general CPU information
– Identification information
– Contents of the diagnostics buffer
– Querying module information
– Firmware update
– Alarms (without acknowledgment option)
– Information about communication
– PROFINET topology
– Variable status, writing variables
– Watch tables
– Memory usage
– User pages
– Data logs (if used)
