Description

The Siemens S7-1500 CPU 1513F-1 PN (catalog number 6ES7513-1FL02-0AB0) is a fail-safe controller designed for safety-critical automation environments, combining the processing power of the standard CPU 1513-1 PN with integrated Safety Integrated functionality. This controller supports safety applications up to SIL 3 (IEC 62061) and PL e (ISO 13849-1), making it ideal for machine builders and system integrators seeking to implement both standard and fail-safe logic within one compact unit. With 300 KB of work memory (100 KB for program and 200 KB for data), the CPU is suitable for complex process control tasks that require secure operation and safety-certified response handling. It features a single integrated PROFINET interface, allowing seamless communication with standard and fail-safe I/O devices, HMI panels, and other automation components. Safety functions such as emergency stops, safety doors, and light curtains can be implemented directly via the TIA Portal with STEP 7 Safety Advanced software. The CPU supports modular expansion with all S7-1500 signal and communication modules, giving users the flexibility to scale systems as needed. It is built for DIN rail mounting and includes integrated diagnostics and web server functionality for runtime monitoring and system analysis. The fanless, rugged design supports uninterrupted industrial operation even in challenging environments.
