Use the functionality of the SIMATIC S7-1500 controller on industrial PCs in combination with high-level languages such as C++. The software controller works completely independent of the operating system, which means it also continues to run during restart or even when the operating system fails.

The perfect choice for PC-based automation
SIMATIC S7-1500 software controllers combine the advantages of SIMATIC S7-1500 controllers and industrial PCs. This means you benefit from the security of a PLC controller and from the flexibility and independence of an industrial PC.

Unique combination of benefits
With the SIMATIC S7-1500 software controller, you can access the functionality of a controller on a powerful industrial PC. You’re then able to connect the controller directly to PC applications programmed in high-level languages like C++. The controller operates independently of the operating system and continues to run reliably even during a restart.

Efficient engineering
Like its hardware counterpart, the engineering of the SIMATIC S7-1500 software controller is performed easily and efficiently in Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal).

Three-fold security
Thanks to Safety Integrated, the SIMATIC S7-1500 software controller protects people and machines. With Security Integrated, it protects the controller against manipulations and your intellectual property against unauthorized access thanks to built-in know-how protection.
