Example: Read out firmware
version of the CPU with
Get_IM_Data
You want to check whether the modules in
your automation system have the current
firmware.
To read out the I&M0 data, use the
"Get_IM_Data" instruction. You read the
I&M0 data of all the modules in the user
program of the CPU via "Get_IM_Data" in-
structions and store them in a data block.

Direct data exchange be-
tween IO controllers
Real-time communication between IO con-
trollers with PROFINET IO IRT.
Application examples:
• Motion control
• Project trace

function manual
OPC UA client With instructions largely implemented ac-
cording to specification "PLCopen OPC UA
Client for IEC 61131-3", the CPU 1516pro-
2 PN takes over the active and leading part
of the communication to OPC UA servers of
other process devices.
STEP 7 as of V15.1 facilitates and acceler-
ates the program-specific implementation of
this communication task by allowing you to
import NodeSets from OPC UA servers and
to parameterize the OPC UA client instruc-
tions in a user-guided manner.
Similarly, CPU 1516pro-2 PN, acting as an
OPC UA client, can call up methods of an
OPC UA server (for example of an MES/ERP
system), for example, to fetch new produc-
tions orders from this system.

Expansion width 1.2 m Maximum 1.2 m expansion width without
module rack. You can mount more wider
modules (e.g. motor starters) on the module
rack.
The maximum number of modules is still
limited to 16.
