Advanced Controllers

Enable the Smart Factory

The S7-1518 MFP, a combined PLC and PC, is the

latest innovation in automation


With today’s Smart Factory requirements

The Smart factory put more demands on the

automation system connections to the real world

• Rapid production reactions

• IIOT connectivity

• Digitalization

• Integrating QC improvement in process

• Responding to external request

There continues to be a search for something better than

PC based control so we put the PLC first

Today we are here to introduce the S7-1518 MFP that put

the high level processing closer to the control process


Combined applications

A PC is often the choice for needs

beyond coordination machine

functions like:

• Supports more programming

languages

• Communication Protocols

• Complex mathematic algorithms

• Quality control monitoring

• send data to a producer’s

enterprise resource planning

(ERP) system

• Many hardware platforms

Multiple devices cause complications

More HW means more coordination

• Multiple SW tools

• Timing issues of sub programs

• Communication and storage

• Windows OS firmware and SW updates

• HW and FW changes in new PC

• Program backup and restore

• PC Revision control (OS updates)

• Replacing PC & Restoring programs

• Coordinating PLC rand PC revisions

Advanced Controller – CPU 1518(F) MFP

Multifunctional Platform based on S7-1500 Controller

Multifunctional Platform CPU 1518(F)-4 PN/DP MFP

• Performance and quantity structure of CPU 1518

• C/C++ Code can be used in the STEP 7 program code by calling

function blocks processed by ODK into Step 7 functions

• A second runtime for C/C++ applications can be used in addition

to the STEP 7 user program code so that it is possible to run

complex C/C++ applications in parallel.

• Standard-, Safety- and complex high level language program code

can be executed on one single platform.

• Plug and play replacement of a S7-1518(F) MFP CPU is

available, so that in the case of changing the hardware only

the SIMATIC memory card has to be plugged to the new

hardware module.

Customer Benefit:

There is no need of separate PC hardware.

Integration of high level languages via SIMATIC ODK 1500S/Target

1500S, and Eclipse

Re-use of existing technological know-how in C/C++ Code

Engineering of

CPU 1518(F)-4 PN/DP MFP

• Engineering of the Multifunctional Platform within

TIA Portal

Programming-Tool

STEP 7

Parallel Development of

STEP 7- and C/C++ functions/applications

• The standard TIA Portal STEP is used for Standard and

Safety rated applications of the CPU 1518(F) in the MFP

• The SIMATIC ODK 1500S with „eclipse“ is used to

program the code in high level for the PC side.

• The program code developed in C/C++ can be used

• as “CPU-Function libraries“ (C/C++ Code, which

runs synchronous in the CPU-runtime) directly

called within

the CPU program code via block call

• as a separate runtime-application within the „C/C++

Runtime“ in parallel to the CPU-runtime




Diagnosis and Debugging

SSH

(Secure Shell)

Diagnosis in C/C++ runtime

• Visualization of the status of the C/C++ runtime via

onboard LEDs of the CPU

• Errors within the C/C++ runtime will create a diagnosis

information at the diagnostic buffer of the 1518 CPU

Debugging of C/C++ runtime applications

• Access to C/C++ runtime via secure shell:

• Via secure shell the typical commands/instructions for the

embedded linux operating system are available

• Debugging of the C/C++ application is possible by using eclipse




Typical Development Environment

Runtime-Licenses for the execution

of ODK applications and for the OPC-

UA Server are inclusive

• ODK Binary files (.so, synchronously )

• C/C++ Applications (asynchronously)

Developing of C/C++ Applications:

• CPU Function Libraries for using C/C++ in a

real time application

(e.g. technology, functions for closed loop

control , complex mathematic algorithms)

• C/C++ application for customer specific high

level languages implementations

(e.g. automated data reduction or

concentration, gateways, protocol converter)




Execution of Function Libraries and C/C++ Applications

Execution of functions in loadable libraries at

runtime and/or as an independent C/C++

application:

Real-time: so (shared object):

• C/C++ code is called as a function block directly in

an OB, e.g.

• algorithms, closed loop controller, …

C/C++ Runtime:

• C/C++ code will be executed as an independent

C/C++ runtime application in parallel to the CPU

user program code, e.g.

• Connection to SQL-Database,

• Implementation of complex communication

protocols like IEC 61850, …
