SIMATIC S7-1500, Drive Controller CPU 1504D TF with SINAMICS S120 Integrated, interfaces: 12 DI, 16 DI/DQ, 4 DRIVE-CLiQ, 3 PROFINET: 3+1+1 ports, 1 PROFIBUS, SIMATIC memory card required 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 controller. Extensive interfaces and technology I/Os enable the efficient implementation of compact and modular automation solutions. Thanks to fast system response times, the ideal solution where large axis quantity structures and short cycle times for high machine clock rates, as well as optimal product quality through deterministic and reproducible machine behavior are required. The SIMATIC S7-1500 Drive Controller is currently available in two performance classes in the form of fail-safe technology CPUs and thus covers even the most demanding motion control solutions. The SIMATIC S7-1500 Drive Controller is configured using the SIMATIC STEP 7 Professional and SINAMICS Startdrive software. A SIMATIC memory card is required to operate this module. The SIMATIC Drive Controller is expanded with components of the modular SINAMICS S120 drive system, as well as with SIMATIC automation components, such as HMI and peripheral systems.
