The CM 1542-5 supports the functions PROFIBUS DP-Master and PROFIBUS DP-Slave according to international standard IEC 61158/61784. This module enables connection of PROFIBUS devices to S7-1500 controllers that do not have a PROFIBUS interface on the CPU

• Simple expansion of the system using additional PROFIBUS strands

• Separation of PROFIBUS subnets for separate automation tasks possible

• Enhanced system performance by relieving the S7-1500 CPU of communication tasks

• Connection of PROFIBUS slaves from external vendors

• Cost-effective module replacement through network separation in the event of a failure

• Project planning integrated in TIA Portal V12

The two technology modules are the perfect solution for the seamless integration of standard weighing applications like platform or hopper scales in SIMATIC S7-1500.
The technology module is available in single and dualchannel variants. SIWAREX WP521 ST is the single-channel option for one scale while the dual-channel SIWAREX WP522 ST enables two separate scales to be integrated into the automation system - with same space requirements.

Integrated in SIMATIC S7-1500 all advantages of the automation system can be used. The free “ready-for-use“ application helps to create fast and easily customer and application specific solutions
