Areas of application
3.1
Areas of application of fail-safe CPUs
Areas of application
F-CPUs are mainly designed for personal and machine protection. In addition to the safety
program, you can also program standard applications. You can operate the F-CPUs in safety
mode or in standard mode.
Reference
Information on the use of F-CPUs in safety mode is available in the programming and operating
manual SIMATIC Safety - Configuring and Programming
support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/54110126).
You can find information on using the CPU 1505SP (F) Software Controller in the associated
manual (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109762855) and in the F-
product information (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109478599).
3.2
Areas of application of technology CPUs
Areas of application
Areas of application of T-CPUs are motion control applications such as gearing and camming as
well as control of kinematics. Due to the supported technology functions, the S7‑1500T CPUs are
suitable for controlling packaging machines, converting applications, assembly automation, etc.
You can operate the TF-CPUs in safety mode or in standard mode.
Reference
You can find information on using the T-CPUs in the function manual SIMATIC S7‑1500T Motion
Control (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109781849).
