Software Controllers for PC-based Automation
The SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller implements a SIMATIC S7-1500 Controller on various SIMATIC IPCs and is available in standard, fail-safe and technology versions.
The Software Controller is available in variants that can be run on:
- IPCs with Windows operating system, with ODK as real-time and programming interface
- IPCs with Linux operating system, with Realtime Information Backbone (RIB) as real-time and programming interface
The SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller is particularly suitable for high-performance control solutions in the high-end motion sector and for control solutions in special-purpose machine manufacturing, where the efficient implementation of complex control tasks, the integration of PC applications, and the implementation of several tasks on one device are important.
The SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controller offers significantly improved availability, system diagnostics and configurability in TIA Portal. Like the S7-1500 Controllers, the SIMATIC S7-1500 Software Controllers have integrated Motion functions as well as improved security mechanisms for intellectual property and copy protection.
