SIMATIC Memory Card required for operation of the CPU

The CPU 1513-1 PN is the CPU with a medium program and data memory for applications that also contain distributed automation structures alongside central I/O. It can be used as a PROFINET IO controller or as distributed intelligence (PROFINET I-Device). The integrated PROFINET IO IRT interface is designed as 2-port switch so that a linear topology can be set up in the system. In addition, the CPU offers comprehensive control functionalities as well as the ability to connect drives via standardized PLC-open blocks.

The CPU 1513-1 PN features:

• A powerful processor:
  The CPU achieves command execution times as low as 40 ns per binary instruction.
• A large work memory:
  300 KB for program, 1.5 MB for data
• SIMATIC Memory Cards as load memory;
  permit additional functions such as datalog and archives
• Flexible expansion capability:
  single-tier configuration with max. 32 modules (CPU + 31 modules)
• Display with functions for:
  • Display of overview information such as IP address of the integrated interface, station name, higher level designation, location designation, etc.,
  • Display and acknowledgment of diagnostic and user messages
  • Display of module information
  • Showing display settings
  • Display of a user-definable logo
  • Setting of IP addresses
  • Setting of date and time
  • Selection of the operating mode
  • Resetting of the CPU to factory settings
  • Backup and restoring of the project
  • Disabling/enabling of the display
  • Enabling of protection levels
• PROFINET IO IRT interface for connecting distributed I/O via PROFINET

• Performance
  • Faster command processing, language extensions and new data types depending on the CPU type
  • Even shorter response times of the CPUs due to considerably faster backplane bus
  • Powerful network connection:
    each CPU is equipped with PROFINET IO IRT (2-port switch) as standard interface.
• Integrated technology
  • Connection of analog and PROFIdrive-capable drives via standardized blocks (PLCopen)
  • Support of speed-controlled and positioning axes as well as external encoders, precise position gearing between axes, cams/cam tracks and probes
  • Trace functions for all CPU tags, both for diagnostics in real time as well as for sporadic error detection; can also be called via the web server of the CPU
  • Comprehensive control functionalities, e.g. easy to configure blocks for automatic optimization of the control parameters for optimum control quality
• Security Integrated
  • Password-based know-how protection against unauthorized read-out and modification of program blocks
  • Copy protection for tying individual blocks to the serial number of the SIMATIC Memory Card: The block can only run if the configured memory card is inserted into the CPU.
  • 4-level authorization concept:
    Communication to the HMI devices can also be restricted.
  • Manipulation protection:
    The controller recognizes changed or unauthorized transmissions of the engineering data.
• Design and handling
  • Display of overview information:
    E.g. Station name, plant identifier, location designation, etc., diagnostic information, module information, display settings.
  • Possible operations on the display:
    Set addresses of the CPU or connected Ethernet communications processors, set date and time, select operating mode of CPU, reset CPU to factory settings, disable/enable display, activate protection levels, acknowledge messages, backup and restoring of the project.
• Integrated system diagnostics
  • System diagnostics information is displayed consistently and in plain text in the display, TIA Portal, HMI devices and Web server, even for messages from the drives, and updated even if the CPU is in STOP mode.
  • Integrated in the firmware of the CPU, no special configuration is required
• SIMATIC Memory Card (required for operation of the CPU)
  • Used as a plug-in load memory or for updating the firmware.
  • Also for storing additional documents or csv files (for recipes and archives)
  • Creation of data blocks for storage/reading of data via SFCs of the user program
• Datalog (archives) and recipes
  • Storage of csv files for recipes and archives on the SIMATIC Memory Card;
    easy access to plant-relevant operating data using Office tools or via a web server
  • Easy access to configuration data of the machine by means of a Web browser or SD card reader (two-way data exchange from and to the controller)
• Programming
  • Programming with STEP 7 Professional, V12 and higher
  • Migration tool for migrating from SIMATIC S7-300/S7-400 to S7-1500; converts the program code largely automatically. Non-convertible code is logged and can be manually adapted.
  • STEP 7 V11 projects can continue to be used with STEP 7 V12 in compatibility mode.
  • S7-1200 basic programs can be transferred to S7-1500 by copy-paste.
