Siemens 6ES7517-3UP00-0AB0 SIMATIC S7-1500TF CPU 1517TF-3 PN/DP
01Technical Summary
Siemens 6ES7517-3UP00-0AB0 is the SIMATIC S7-1500TF CPU 1517TF-3 PN/DP, combining fail-safe control and technology functions in a high-performance CPU. It offers 3 MB program work memory, 8 MB data work memory and a typical 2 ns bit-operation time, with PROFINET IRT, a second Ethernet interface and PROFIBUS. Because a TF CPU can host standard logic, safety logic and motion-related technology objects, every layer of the TIA Portal project must be retained and validated during replacement.
