SIEMENS 6ES7516-3AN01-0AB0 PROFIBUS, 10 NS BIT PERFORMANCE, SIMATIC MEMORY CARD REQUIRED
The SIEMENS 6ES7516-3AN01-0AB0 is a central processing unit (CPU) that is part of the SIMATIC S7-1500 automation system. Here are the key details about this CPU:
PROFIBUS Interface:
- This CPU model is equipped with a PROFIBUS interface, in addition to PROFINET interfaces.
- PROFIBUS is an industrial fieldbus protocol commonly used for connecting automation devices.
- The PROFIBUS interface allows the CPU to communicate with other PROFIBUS-enabled devices on the network.
High-Performance Bit Processing:
- The CPU has an impressive bit performance of 10 nanoseconds per bit operation.
- This extremely fast processing speed enables very responsive and precise control of industrial processes.
SIMATIC Memory Card Required:
- Like the previous model, this CPU requires a SIMATIC memory card to be inserted for operation.
- The memory card provides storage for the user program, configuration data, and other runtime information.
Other Features:
- Work Memory: 1 MB for program and 5 MB for data
- Powerful CPU with high processing capabilities
- PROFINET interfaces with integrated 2-port switch
- Part of the modular SIMATIC S7-1500 system
- Programmed using the STEP 7 engineering software
The combination of the PROFIBUS interface, 10 ns bit performance, and SIMATIC memory card requirement makes this CPU well-suited for demanding industrial automation applications that require high-speed communication and secure data storage.
