Note:
SIMATIC Memory Card required for operation of the CPU
The CPU 1513F-1 PN is the CPU with a medium to large program and data memory for standard and fail-safe 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 a 2-port switch, enabling a linear topology to be set up in the system. In addition, the CPU offers comprehensive control functionalities as well as the ability to connect drives via standardized PLCopen blocks.
The CPU 1513F-1 PN has:
A powerful processor:
The CPU achieves a command execution time as low as 40 ns per binary command.
Extensive work memory:
450 KB for program, 1.5 MB for data
SIMATIC Memory Cards as load memory;
permit additional functions such as Datalog and Archive Flexible
Expansion capability:
single-tier configuration with max. 32 modules (CPU + 31 modules)
Display with functions for
Display of overview information such as station name, higher level designation, location designation, etc.
Showing diagnostic information
Showing module information
Showing display settings
Setting IP addresses
Setting date and time
Switching the operating mode
Resetting the CPU to factory settings
Disabling/enabling the display
Enabling of protection levels
Display of safety mode, overall signature and date of the last download with signature change
PROFINET IO IRT interface for connecting distributed I/O via PROFINET
Supports PROFIsafe in centralized and distributed configuration
Performance
Faster command processing, depending on the CPU type, lange extensions and new data types
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
Trace functions for all CPU tags, both for diagnostics in real time and for sporadic error detection
Comprehensive control functionalities, e.g. easily configurable 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 in the CPU.
4-level authorization concept:
Communication to operator panels 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 designation, location identifier, etc., diagnostic information, module information, display settings.
Possible operations on the display:
Set addresses, set date and time, select operating mode of CPU, reset CPU to factory settings, disable/enable display, activate protection levels.
Integrated system diagnostics
System diagnostics information is displayed consistently and in plain text in the display, TIA Portal, operator panels 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 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 and via 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 PLC)
Programming of the standard program section
