Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500R/H

Function Description Additional information
MRP (Media Redundancy
Protocol)
The Media Redundancy Protocol enables the configura
tion of redundant networks. Redundant transmission
links (ring topology) ensure that an alternative commu
nication path is made available if a transmission link fails.
Within the PROFINET ring, the H-CPUs assume the role of
the MRP Manager following appropriate project configur
ation and all other devices in the ring assume the role of
the MRP clients.
MRP interconnection The process MRP interconnection is an enhancement of
MRP and allows redundant coupling of two or more rings
with MRP in PROFINET networks. MRP interconnection is -
like MRP - specified in the standard IEC 62439-2 (Edition
3).
PROFIenergy PROFIenergy is a PROFINET-based data interface for
switching off consumers centrally and with full coordina
tion during pause times regardless of the manufacturer
or device type. Through this, the process should only be
provided with the energy that is absolutely required.
Most of the energy is saved by the process. The
PROFINET device itself only contributes a few watts to
the savings potential.

Security Integrated
Know-how protection The know-how protection protects user blocks against
unauthorized access and modifications.
Access protection You can use authorization levels to assign separate rights
to different user groups.
Integrity protection The CPUs feature an integrity protection function by
default. This helps to detect any manipulation of the
engineering data on the SIMATIC Memory Card or during
data transfer between the TIA Portal and the CPU, and to
check communication from a SIMATIC HMI system to the
CPU for possible manipulation of engineering data. The
user receives a corresponding message about manipula
tion of engineering data detected by the integrity protec
tion.

Password provider As an alternative to manual password entry, you can link
a password provider to STEP7. A password provider
offers the following advantages:
• Convenient handling of passwords. STEP7 automatic
ally imports the password for the blocks. This saves
you time.
• Optimum block protection because the users do not
know the password itself.
