reduce downtimes.
Uniform front connectors for all modules and integrated potential bridges for flexible
formation of potential groups simplifies storage. Additional components such as circuit
breakers, relays, etc., can be installed quickly and easily, since a DIN rail is implemented in
the rail of the . The CPUs of the SIMATIC product series can be expanded
centrally and in a modular fashion with signal modules. Space-saving expansion enables
flexible adaptation to each application.
The system cabling for digital signal modules enables fast and clear connection to sensors
and actuators from the field (fully modular connection consisting of front connector modules,
connection cables and I/O modules), as well as easy wiring inside the control cabinet
(flexible connection consisting of front connectors with assembled single conductors).Integrated system diagnostics is activated by default for the CPUs. The different types of
diagnostics are configured instead of programmed. System diagnostics information is shown
uniformly and in plain text on the display of the CPU, in STEP 7, on the HMI and on the Web
server, even for alarms related to drives. This information is available in RUN mode, but also
in STOP mode of the CPU. The diagnostic information is updated automatically when you
configure new hardware components.
The CPU is available as a central interrupt server for 3 languages. The CPU, STEP 7 and
your HMI guarantee data consistency without additional engineering steps. The maintenance
work is easier.The CPU contains the operating system and executes the user program. The user program
is located on the SIMATIC memory card and is processed in the work memory of the CPU.
The connection to the process is centralized or distributed via PROFINET or PROFIBUS with
I/O modules.
The PROFINET interfaces on the CPU allow simultaneous communication with PROFINET
devices, PROFINET controllers, HMI devices, programming devices, other controllers and
other systems. CPU 1513-1 PN supports operation as an IO controller and I-deviceNote 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 1513-1 PN has the following technical properties:
● Communication:
– Interfaces
CPU 1513-1 PN has an interface.
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, ) and communication with another machine or automation cell.
– OPC UA
With OPC UA, data is exchanged via an open and vendor-neutral communication
