Requirements
Table 5-2Requirements
Requirement STEP 7 version
CPU 1513R-1 PN, CPU 1515R-2 PN, CPU 1517H-3 PN SIMATIC STEP 7 Professional,
V15.1 or later
CPU 1518HF-4 PN SIMATIC STEP 7 Professional V17
or higher
S7-1500H(F):
• Support of system redundancy R1
• H-CPUs do not have to be part of a PROFINET ring or MRP
domain.
This allows additional topology variants, such as line topology or
setup without additional devices.
