6ES7515-2AM01-0AB0
The SIMATIC S7-1500 software controller adopts Hypervisor technology. After installation on a SIEMENS industrial computer, the hardware resources of the industrial computer are virtualized into two sets of hardware, one running Windows system and the other running S7-1500 PLC real-time system. The two systems run in parallel and exchange data through SIMATIC communication. The soft PLC is 100% compatible with the 57-1509 hard PLC code, and its operation is independent of the Windows system. Windows can be restarted while the soft PLC is running.

6ES7515-2AM01-0AB0 (CPU 1515-2 PN) Controller Integrated Parameters:
- Digital Input/Output (I/O)
- Supports flexible I/O configuration via expansion modules, with a maximum expandable capacity of 32DI/32DQ (specific point count depends on the selected module).
- All extended digital modules come with pre-wired connectors, eliminating the need for separate procurement by customers.
- Analog Input/Output (AI/AQ)
- Requires expansion analog modules to implement, for example:
- Integrated 4 channels of analog input (AI) and 1 channel of analog output (AQ) (specific signal types depend on module selection).
- Supports voltage and current signal measurement and output, meeting basic analog signal processing requirements.
- Requires expansion analog modules to implement, for example:
- High-Speed Counting Function
- Supports high-speed counting function, which can be achieved through expansion technology modules (such as TM Count modules).
- The specific counting frequency and channel count depend on the selected module (for example, some modules support a maximum counting frequency of 400KHz).
- Pulse Train Output (PTO)
- Integrated PTO function, supporting direct connection to drive devices (such as servo motors, stepper motors).
- Multi-axis motion control can be realized through expansion modules or integrated technology objects, with the specific axis count and output frequency depending on the configuration.
- Communication and Networking
- Integrated with 2 PROFINET interfaces, supporting real-time Ethernet communication (PROFINET IRT/RT).
- Supports open Ethernet communication (TCP/IP, UDP, ISO-on-TCP), enabling seamless integration with other devices or systems.
- Motion Control Function
- Integrated motion control function, supporting speed control axes, positioning axes, and synchronous operations.
- Basic motion control tasks can be accomplished without additional modules (complex applications require expansion technology modules).
- Diagnostics and Maintenance
- Integrated Web server, supporting remote monitoring and diagnostics.
- Provides system diagnostics, enabling real-time tracking of CPU tags and module statuses.
- Information Security
- Integrated information security features, supporting access control and data encryption to maximize the protection of intellectual property and investments.
Key Differences Compared to 1511C/1512C:
- I/O and Analog Integration: The 1511C/1512C directly integrate I/O and analog interfaces, whereas the 6ES7515-2AM01-0AB0 requires expansion modules to achieve similar functionality.
- High-Speed Counting and PTO: Both support high-speed counting and PTO functions, but specific performance metrics (such as channel count, frequency) depend on the configuration of expansion modules.
- Positioning and Application Scenarios: The 6ES7515-2AM01-0AB0 is positioned as a high-performance CPU, suitable for medium to large-scale automation systems, emphasizing scalability and network communication capabilities; the 1511C/1512C are positioned as compact CPUs, suitable for small to medium-scale applications, emphasizing cost-effectiveness and integration.
