Product overview
2.1 New functions in firmware version V2.0
CPU 1512C-1 PN (6ES7512-1CK00-0AB0)
Manual, 09/2016, A5E35306440-AB

Greater number of
axes for Motion Con-
trol applications and
new technology ob-
jects: Output cam,
cam track and probe
Speed specification for, for example:
• Pumps, fans, mixers
• Conveyor belts
• Auxiliary drives
positioning tasks, such as:
• Lifting and vertical conveyors
• Feeding and gate control
• Palletizing equipment
Output cams and cam tracks make other ap-
plications possible, for example:
• Glue lines application
• Triggering switching operations with pre-
cise positioning
• Pin-point processing of products on a con-
veyor belt
Probe operation, e.g.:
• For measuring products
• For detecting the position of the product on
a conveyor belt
You can implement additional Motion Control
applications with a CPU.
You can implement numerous applications using
the scalability in the quantity structure.
High machine speeds result in greater productivi-
ty with better accuracy.
Support of the value
status (QI) for digital
and analog on-board
I/O
You can use the value status to evaluate
whether the input and output data is correct
and react accordingly in the user program in
the case of error, for example skip specific
In the user program you can respond quickly and
easily to faults and errors.
