What ships in the box?
The 6ES7515-2TM01-0AB0 CPU with integrated PROFINET ships as a single unit ready for DIN-rail mounting. Supports DCP and DNS out of the box for network configuration. Rated for ambient operation from -40 °C to 70 °C, this CPU suits unheated enclosures or outdoor-adjacent panels without a heater.
Key specs at a glance
The process image handles 32 kbyte of inputs and 32 kbyte of outputs — enough for a medium-sized line with several distributed I/O stations. Programming languages include LAD, FBD, SCL, STL, and GRAPH, covering both ladder-logic traditionalists and structured-text advocates. Integrated PID controllers for temperature and valve positioning eliminate the need for a separate loop controller for many applications. MODBUS TCP is supported natively, so integration with third-party devices like VFDs or remote I/O is straightforward.
Physical fit & environment
Dimensions are 70 mm wide, 147 mm high, and 129 mm deep — standard CPU footprint, no surprise for panel layout. The CPU mounts on a DIN rail and occupies one slot. Error and maintenance LEDs are present, giving quick visual status on PROFINET connection health and CPU state.
