Overview
The 6ES7518-4FP00-0AB0 is a Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU module with Dns support and a single PROFINET port. It provides a 32 kbyte input process image and a 32 kbyte output process image, handling up to 8 communication modules or CPs (PROFIBUS, PROFINET, Ethernet) in total.
Function & operation
The 32 kbyte input and 32 kbyte output process image sizes define how much I/O data can be updated in each cycle — sufficient for medium-to-large distributed I/O configurations. Up to 8 communication modules (CMs/CPs) can be inserted, covering PROFIBUS, additional PROFINET, or Ethernet interfaces.
Lifecycle & availability
RoHS compliance is confirmed with a status date of 20-12-13. No end-of-life or phase-out notice is recorded in the available evidence; the module is treated as an active production item. For current lead time and minimum order quantities, submit an RFQ.
