The Simatic S7-1500 Advanced Controller portfolio for challenging automation applications has been updated to include two technology CPUs that combine standard, safety and motion control functionalities in a single device. The 1515SP PC2 T CPU and fail-safe 1515SP PC2 TF CPU complement the range of open controllers. They are suitable for motion control tasks such as gearing and camming or the control of kinematics with up to four axes—for example, for handling applications such as pick and place and Scara robots. Even challenging motion control tasks can be handled in combination with the Sinamics V90 PN, S210 and S120 servo drive systems.
