SIMATIC S7-1500T CPUs
The Technology CPUs extend the Motion Control functions available in all SIMATIC S7-1500
controllers for demanding solutions to include gearing and camming and kinematics.
The S7-1500 T-CPU is also suitable for safety applications, so that you only need one CPU for
standard, safety and comprehensive Motion-Control automation tasks.
