Additional information
CPU display
All CPUs of the SIMATIC S7-1500 product series fea-
ture a display with plain text information. The display
provides information on order numbers, firmware ver-
sion and serial numbers of all connected modules. In
addition, you can set the IP address of the CPU and
carry out further network settings. The display shows
occurring error messages directly in plain text.
In addition to the functions listed here, a multitude of
other functions that are described in the SIMATIC S7-
1500 Display Simulator are shown on the display.

PROFINET IO
PROFINET interface (X1
P1 R and X1 P2 R)
The X1 interface has two ports (P1 R and P2 R). In
addition to basic PROFINET functionality, its also sup-
ports PROFINET IO RT (real time) and IRT (isochro-
nous real time), which means you can configure
PROFINET IO communication or real-time settings on
the interface.
Port 1 and Port 2 can also be used as ring ports for the
configuration of redundant ring structures in Ethernet
(media redundancy).
Basic PROFINET functionality comprises:
• HMI communication
• Communication with the configuration system
• Communication with a higher-level network (back-
bone, router, Internet)
•
Communication with another machine or automation

Operation of the CPU as
• IO controller
• I-device
•
IO controller:
As an IO controller the CPU addresses the con-
nected IO devices
•
I-device:
As an I-device (intelligent IO device) the CPU is as-
signed to a higher-level IO controller and is used in
the process as an intelligent pre-processing unit of
sub-processes
