It supports PROFINET IRT for isochronous motion networks and MRP as redundancy manager (up to 50 devices in the ring). Modbus TCP and RS-485 interfaces enable mixed-protocol lines where legacy fieldbus gear coexists with PROFINET. The process image handles 32 kbyte of inputs and 32 kbyte of outputs — enough for moderate machine footprints. Programming languages include LAD, FBD, STL, SCL, and GRAPH (from STEP 7 V12 SP1). The hardware clock and block (valve-specific PID) suit it for process control loops with actuated valves rather than simple on/off outputs. ## Mounting and I/O note Dimensions: 70 mm wide, 147 mm high, 129 mm deep; up to eight communication modules stack on the same backplane. I2t rated at 0.39 A²·s — select output wire cross-section accordingly. Below 0 °C the CPU's display (if fitted) may show reduced legibility and dynamic updates slow — not a hard stop, but worth noting for cold cabinets where an operator reads status directly. The CPU does not support PROFIsafe; safety applications need a separate F-CPU.","metaTitle":"Siemens 6AG1516-3AN01-2AB0 SIPLUS CPU, IRT, -40..70°C","metaDescription":"Siemens 6AG1516-3AN01-2AB0 SIPLUS ET 200SP CPU with PROFINET IRT, MRP, Modbus TCP, 32 kB I/O image, rated -40 to 70 °C.
