PLC Simatic S7 1500

The new TM MFP technology module seamlessly integrates Edge Computing into the SIMATIC S7-1500.

The multifunctional platform TM MFP enables the integration of different, independent applications – for example:

• Flexible use of optional software packages, e.g. Proneta
• Possibility of using Edge apps like SIMATIC Flow Creator
• Openness for customized high-level language extensions, e.g. C/C++
• Exclusive use of interfaces for special applications

Based on SIMATIC Industrial OS, the technology module TM MFP is prepared for Siemens Industrial Edge applications on the control level thanks to Edge runtime, and can be connected centrally and scalably to any SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU (1511 to 1518). The backplane bus enables performant data exchange in real time.

The multifunctional platform thus combines the advantages of a cloud with the strengths of a local solution, and allows various data backup concepts: local, cloud-based and hybrid.
