There are many ways of getting this type of information, the HWConfig editor shows details of every CPU you wish to select in your configuration, the A&D Mall is an on-line catalog that you can access on the web. The Product Support (see the link at the top of this page) allows you access to all manuals from A&D (Siemens' automation and drives division). The following manual has 2 chapters on the technical specifications of the standard and compact CPUs; http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/12996906 Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier

If you search the A&D site i think theres a diagram of memory useage to selection of CPU somewhere. Theresonein the Simatics Brouchure as I have it infront of me.You can order onefrom the site.
