A PLC is an industrial computer that monitors input devices and controls output devices based on a custom program. The S7-1500 PLC has several innovative features including a diagnostic color display, security protections, safety certifications, support for 11 programming languages, integrated potential bridges, and shared I/O device functionality. The S7-1500 sets new standards for maximized productivity and is seamlessly integrated into the TIA Portal for engineering efficiency.

1. What is a PLC

2. A PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER (PLC) is an
industrial computer control system that
continuously monitors the state of input devices and
makes decisions based upon a custom program to
control the state of output devices.

3. Features of S7-1500

4. Some Innovative features of S7-1500 PLC
Use of 1500 controller ensures highest efficiency, and maximum usability for
medium and high-end applications in machine and system automation.
Diagnostics Display
Main aggregate of 1500 PLC is troubleshooting through color display
User can do many more settings in display of 1500 PLC like setting IP address of
the hardware device,
Security
S7-1500 has facility to protect the display so that unauthorized person will not be
able to access the PLC Program & parameter settings.

5. Safety
To meet the evolving needs of various industries fail-safe versions of the
controllers are used that will better enhance every production process.
STEP 7 language innovations
Only limited languages are supported by predecessors of 1500 but in 1500
Controller total 11 languages are supported for programming as well as
for color Display.
Potential Bridges:
Integrated Potential bridges for flexible potential group formation
reduces the wiring cost.
Shared Device Functionality
One I/O device can be shared by more than one controller for e.g. A Drive
and a safety controller can share one IO device.

6. •Through its many innovations, the
new SIMATIC S7-1500 controller sets
new standards for maximized
productivity.
•This benefits a range of machines
including small-series machines as
well as more complex installations.
•The SIMATIC S7-1500 is seamlessly
integrated in the Totally Integrated
Automation Portal(TIA Portal) for
maximum engineering efficiency.
