Using the SIMATIC S7-1500 controller gives you top performance and built-in viability into the future. You can turn the most sophisticated machine designs into reality thanks to the modular structure of the controller, which provides reliable assistance as you work your way through the digital transformation.
The Vision Of New Applications
SIMATIC S7-1500 Edge integration
The new TM MFP technology module seamlessly integrates Edge Computing into the SIMATIC S7-1500.
The multifunctional platform TM MFP enables the integration of different, independent applications – for example:
Based on SIMATIC Industrial OS, the technology module TM MFP is prepared for Siemens Industrial Edge applications on the control level thanks to Edge runtime, and can be connected centrally and scalably to any SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU (1511 to 1518). The backplane bus enables performant data exchange in real time.
The multifunctional platform thus combines the advantages of a cloud with the strengths of a local solution, and allows various data backup concepts: local, cloud-based and hybrid.
