Siemens 6ES7518-4AX00-1AC0

Four-interface CPU architecture for demanding controller, network and modernization projects.

Product Summary

Siemens 6ES7518-4AX00-1AC0 is a SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP Bundle designed for high-performance standard control tasks in the SIMATIC S7-1500 platform. Siemens specifies 6 MB working memory for the program, 60 MB for data, PROFINET IRT through a two-port switch, a second PROFINET RT interface, PROFINET basic services, and a PROFIBUS interface. The CPU delivers 1 ns bit performance and requires a SIMATIC Memory Card. This bundle also includes C/C++ Runtime and OPC UA Runtime licensing for multi-functional platform applications. Before ordering, confirm the complete article number, supplied hardware and firmware, TIA Portal project, network topology, memory card, licenses where applicable, mounting requirements and nameplate details.

Integration and Replacement Workflow

1. Identify: record the complete suffix, installed hardware, firmware and label data.
2. Audit: confirm TIA Portal, licenses, memory card, controller program and configured devices.
3. Map: document every PROFINET, Ethernet and PROFIBUS connection, address and topology.
4. Commission: preserve backups, access credentials and acceptance procedures before replacement.

Applications

• High-performance PLC control with supplementary C/C++ applications.
• OPC UA data integration under the included runtime license.
• PROFINET IRT automation with deterministic network behavior.
• Multi-network systems combining PROFINET and PROFIBUS.
• Automation projects requiring open development functions alongside PLC logic.

Compatibility and Revision Notice

Confirm the complete article number and suffix, system architecture, 24 V DC supply, all four interfaces, hardware status, firmware, TIA Portal and project requirements, mounting dimensions, memory card, runtime licenses where applicable, target equipment, and original nameplate photographs. A similar CPU designation does not establish direct interchangeability.
