6ES7517-3AP00-0AB0 SIEMENS

Description

The Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1517-3 PN/DP (6ES7517-3AP00-0AB0) is a top-tier industrial controller designed for large, complex automation systems that demand exceptional speed, communication flexibility, and reliability. Equipped with 2 MB of integrated program memory and 8 MB of data memory, this CPU supports extensive logic, motion, and process applications. It delivers impressive performance with 2 ns bit operation, 3 ns word/fixed-point processing, and 12 ns floating-point execution, enabling extremely fast response times.

The CPU includes three integrated communication interfaces:

• PROFINET IRT (X1) with a 2-port switch for real-time and isochronous applications

• PROFINET RT (X2) for standard real-time communication

• PROFIBUS DP (X3) master interface for connecting distributed field devices

It supports up to 1,000 distributed I/O devices across PROFINET, PROFIBUS, and AS-i networks. Features such as isochronous mode, PROFIenergy, prioritized startup, Open IE communication, integrated web server (HTTP/HTTPS), and secure connectivity with optional encryption provide robust functionality for advanced automation architectures.

The CPU also includes powerful diagnostic capabilities with a 3,200-entry diagnostic buffer, integrated trace recording, extensive OB support, and a 6.1-cm operator display for local monitoring. It supports OPC UA (Client & Server), MODBUS TCP, NTP time synchronization, and multiple engineering systems through team engineering.

Built for industrial reliability, the CPU operates from 0 to 60°C, offers up to 6 weeks of clock backup, includes reverse-polarity protection, and supports installation up to 5,000 m above sea level. Its rugged housing (175 × 147 × 129 mm) and approx. 1.93 kg weight ensure durability in demanding environments.
