Siemens 6ES7515-2AM01-0AB0 SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1515-2 PN
01Product Overview
Siemens 6ES7515-2AM01-0AB0 is the SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1515-2 PN with 500 KB of program memory and 3 MB of data memory. Its first interface supports PROFINET IRT through an integrated two-port switch, while the second interface provides a separate PROFINET RT path. The CPU offers 30 ns bit performance, uses a required SIMATIC Memory Card and is identified in current Siemens product data as a spare-part article.
02Performance
Operating Capabilities
- Typical bit execution time is 30 ns, with 36 ns for word operations, 48 ns for fixed-point arithmetic and 192 ns for floating-point arithmetic.

04System Integration
- Use a SIMATIC Memory Card containing the correct project and compatible firmware data.
- For firmware V2.9, use TIA Portal V17 or a later officially supported engineering environment.
- Preserve X1 and X2 device names, IP settings, controller roles, topology and update times separately.
- Confirm the rack power budget, backplane supply and all installed S7-1500 modules.
- Review all PROFINET devices, communication connections, web-server settings and access protection before exchange.
- After installation, test both Ethernet interfaces, distributed I/O, diagnostics, clock synchronization, application timing and the complete machine process.
05Applications
- Medium-to-large SIMATIC S7-1500 control applications requiring two separate PROFINET interfaces.
- Manufacturing systems using IRT-capable motion or synchronized distributed I/O on X1.
- Automation networks that separate the primary PROFINET IO path from an additional RT communication network.
- Spare-part replacement where the TIA Portal project and SIMATIC Memory Card are controlled.
- Systems requiring the CPU 1515-2 PN memory and communication capacity.
- Lifecycle maintenance of installed FS03 CPU 1515-2 PN hardware.
06FAQ
What is Siemens 6ES7515-2AM01-0AB0?
It is the SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1515-2 PN with two PROFINET interfaces.
How much work memory is available?
It provides 500 KB for the program and 3 MB for data.
What is the difference between X1 and X2?
X1 supports PROFINET IRT through a two-port switch, while X2 provides a separate PROFINET RT interface.
Is a SIMATIC Memory Card required?
Yes. The CPU requires a SIMATIC Memory Card for load memory and project operation.
Which engineering version supports the current V2.9 record?
Siemens specifies TIA Portal V17 for firmware V2.9, with later supported versions also applicable.
What should be tested after exchange?
Verify memory-card loading, both PROFINET interfaces, every distributed-I/O device, diagnostics, access protection, timing and the complete machine sequence.
