Increase productivity with the ultimate power
The Advanced Controller SIMATIC S7-1500 can be used in the entire automation industry in applications that are medium-sized to high-end machines with high demands on performance, communication, flexibility and technological features.
Within the SIMATIC S7-1500 Portfolio, there are various CPU types for multiple performance classes available.
Besides the standard CPUs and the compact CPUs, the Portfolio will be enlarged by the
S7-1500 T-CPU and CPU 1518 ODK.
The technology-CPUs are offering a wide range of motion control function such as cam disks and constant velocity as well as the possibility to execute C/C++ code on the CPU 1518 ODK.
Do you want to further utilize the investment into your machine or plant? The well-engineered, proven controller SIMATIC S7-300 will be available at least until 2020. Our 10 years spare part commitment starts thereafter. 
The most powerful Automation System within SIMATIC.
Superb communication capability and integrated interfaces make the SIMATIC
S7-400 process controller ideal for larger tasks such as the coordination of entire systems.
The graded range of CPUs enables scalable performance and the capacity for I/O
periphery is virtually unlimited.
What's more, process controller signal modules can be inserted and removed while the system is live (hot swapping), making it very easy to expand the system or replace modules.
