What is PLC ? A programmable logic controller (PLC) is a small, modular solid state computer with customized instructions for performing a particular task. PLCs, which are used in industrial control systems (ICS) for a wide variety of industries, have largely replaced mechanical relays, drum sequencers and cam timers.

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.

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.
