Introduction
N
In almost all areas of manufacturing, in addition to energy supply, control elements are also
required for the operation of machines, equipment and processes.
It must be possible to initiate, control, monitor and end the operation of any given machine or
process.
AI
Hard-wired Programmed Controller  PLC
In the past, the program logic of hard-wired programmed controllers was governed by the task-
specific wiring of contactors and relays.
Today, relevant programmable logic controllers are used to solve automation tasks.
TR

The logic stored in the program memory of an automation system does not depend on equipment
design and wiring and can be modified at any time with the help of a programming device.

Totally Integrated Automation

Production processes are no longer seen as individual partial processes, but rather as integral
components of an entire production process.
The total integration of the entire automation environment is today achieved with the help of:
SI

• one common software environment that integrates all components and tasks into one uniform
easy to use system (configuration and programming)
• a common data management (central database)
• a common communication between all participating automation components.

Power Supply
I/O modules in the central rack of the S7-1500 require a system power supply via the backplane
bus (communication connection to the CPU) and a load power supply (input or output circuits for
sensors/encoders and actuators).
• PM - Power Module → Load Power Supply
supplies modules with 24VDC for input and output circuits as well as sensors/encoders and
actuators
If the CPU is supplied 24V via a load power supply (PM), it supplies the system power
supply of 12W for the first inserted I/O modules.

a
• PS - Power System → System Power Supply
supplies S7-1500 modules in the central rack via the backplane bus
Each CPU offers a system power supply of 12W for the first inserted I/O modules.

di
Depending on the I/O modules used, further power segments have to be set up, as
required.
A system power supply (PS) can also supply the load circuit for 24VDC modules in
addition to the CPU.

In
Power Supply and Power Segments of the I/O Modules
It is necessary to set up power segments in the central rack for larger configurations or
configurations with greater I/O module power requirements (as a rule, when using CP, CM, TM).
A maximum of 3 power segments can be set up per rack (1xCPU segment plus 2 more).
If the configuration includes additional power segments, additional system power supply modules
(PS) are inserted to the right next to the CPU. The CPU continues to control all modules of the
N
rack. Only the system power supply of the I/O modules is subdivided here.

2.6.2. I/O Addressing of the S7-1500

Default addresses of the I/O modules:

• Begin as of I/O address = 0
• Addresses are assigned consecutively in the order in which the manual

a
configuration of the I/O modules occurs

Address requirement of a module → depends on the module
or
PM 0.0 Start address of a module → depends on the configuration

In
Slot No. 0 1 2 3 4 5 … 29 30 31

In order to be used by the user program, each I/O module is assigned "Module Address(es)" for
N
its channels, that is, the status/modify data area. By reading and writing the address areas, the
user program can work with the process peripherals which are connected to the modules.

Default Addressing
AI
During the device configuration, the address assignment for an added module is suggested as a
consecutive allocation of the I/O address area as of byte-address 0. This address can be
changed during the configuration of the hardware.

Prewiring Position
The front connector latches up in the front cover. In this position, the front connector still juts out
TR

of the module, but the front connector and the module are not yet electrically connected.

Jumper Links
The jumper links can be inserted in the front connector in four places for easier set up of load
groups. That is, looping the supply voltage to several potential groups.
Only one connection from left to right exists!

Automatic Coding of the I/O Modules

SI

This enables a fast and safe exchange of the front connector.

Two Front Door Latching Positions

At the bottom of the front cover there are 2 different latching positions for different space
requirements of the conductor bundle.
• Cable storage space that grows with the need (AWG cabling)
American Wire Gauge (AWG) is an American standard measure for copper wires which
defines the wire strength and the allowed damping, whereby a lower AWG value represents a
thicker wire. By swinging up the release latch, you can pull the front connector and remove it
from the module.

Signal Modules (SM)

N
• Digital input modules: 24VDC, 120/230VAC
• Digital output modules: 24VDC, relay
• Analog input modules: voltage, current, resistance, thermocouple
AI
• Analog output modules: voltage, current

Interface Modules (IM)

The IM360/IM361 and IM365 make multi-tier configurations possible.
The interface modules loop the bus from one tier to the next.
TR

Dummy Modules (DM)

The DM 370 dummy module reserves a slot for a signal module whose parameters have not yet
been assigned. A dummy module can also be used to reserve a slot for installation of an interface
module at a later date.

Function Modules (FM)

• Counting

SI

Positioning
• Closed-loop control.

Communication Processors (CP)

• Point-to-Point connections
