Product overview
2.1 New functions in firmware version V2.0
CPU 1512C-1 PN (6ES7512-1CK00-0AB0)
14 Manual, 09/2016, A5E35306440-AB
Data exchange is implemented between vari-
ous systems, both within the process level and
also with systems at the control and company
management level:
• To embedded systems with controllers
• To controllers with MES systems and sys-
tems of the enterprise level (ERP, asset
systems)
• To Siemens controllers with controllers
from other manufacturers
• To intelligent sensors with controllers
Supported standard: OPC Data Access, DA.
OPC UA is a uniform standard for data communi-
cation and is independent of any particular oper-
ating system platforms.
You have integrated safety mechanisms at vari-
ous automation levels, e.g. with data exchange,
at application level, for the legitimation of the
user.
OPC UA servers provide a wide range of data:
• Values of PLC tags that clients can access
• Data types of these PLC tags
• Information about the OPC UA server itself
and about the CPU
Clients can thus obtain an overview and read in
MRPD: Media Re-
dundancy for Planned
Duplication for IRT
PROFINET IO IRT enables you to realize
applications that place particularly high de-
mands on the reliability and accuracy (isoch-
ronous mode).
By sending the cyclic IO data in both directions in
the ring, the communication to the IO devices is
maintained even when the ring is interrupted and
does not result in device failure even with fast
update times. You achieve higher reliability than
Limitation of the data
infeed into the net-
work
You limit the network load for standard Ether-
net communication to a maximum value.
They flatten peaks in the data feed.
You share the remaining bandwidth based on
Backing up and re-
storing via the display
You can back up and restore the CPU configu-
ration to/from the SIMATIC memory card with-
out a programming device/PC.
You can make a backup copy of an operational
project without STEP 7 (TIA Portal).
In an "emergency", you can simply use an exist-
ing configuration without STEP 7 (TIA Portal), for
example, during commissioning or after a pro-
gram download.
Backing up and re-
storing via the Web
server
Among other things, you can backup and
restore the configuration of the CPU to the
PG/PC on which the Web server is running.
Display and Web
server provide up to
three project lan-
guages for comments
and message texts
When you export your plants worldwide, for
example, comments or message texts can be
stored on the card in up to 3 languages. For
example, German - the language of the au-
thor, English - readable internationally, Portu-
guese - language of the end user.
You provide customers with better service.
Trace via Web server When you enable trace functions via the Web
server, you have better service support. You
can send your trace recordings to your service
partner via Web service, for example.
You receive plant/project information for diagnos-
tics and maintenance requirements without
STEP 7 (TIA Portal).
You can provide trace recordings for each Web
server.
You save time in troubleshooting.
Monitoring of config-
ured technology ob-
You can monitor states, errors, technological
alarms and the current values of technology
objects with the Web server.
Formatting, erasing or
converting a SIMATIC
memory card via the
Without the method using STEP 7 (TIA Portal), your SIMATIC memory card is formatted, deleted
or converted into a program card directly via the display. You save time.
