SIMATIC S7-1500, Drive Controller CPU 1504D TF with integrated SINAMICS S120, interfaces: 12 DI, 16 DI/DQ, 4 DRIVE-CLiQ, 3 PROFINET: 3+1+1 ports, 1 PROFIBUS, SIMATIC memory card required, supported FW version: SIMATIC S7-1500 FW up to V3.1 (technology version up to V8.0), SINAMICS FW V5.2/V5.2 SP3. The SIMATIC Drive Controller integrates motion control, technology, and PLC functionality directly into the SINAMICS S120 multi-axis drive system without requiring additional space for the control. Extensive interfaces and technology I/Os enable the efficient implementation of compact and modular automation solutions. With fast system response times, it is the ideal solution for applications requiring large axis configurations and short cycle times for high machine throughput rates, as well as optimal product quality through deterministic and reproducible machine behavior. The SIMATIC S7-1500 Drive Controller is currently available in two performance classes in the form of fail-safe technology CPUs, thus covering even the most demanding motion control solutions. The SIMATIC S7-1500 Drive Controller is designed using the SIMATIC STEP 7 Professional and SINAMICS Startdrive software. A SIMATIC memory card is required for the operation of this module. The SIMATIC Drive Controller can be expanded with components from the modular SINAMICS S120 drive system as well as with SIMATIC automation components, such as HMI and peripheral systems.
