Hello Lucky; I do not consider myself an expert on the s7-1500 (yet!). However, I am still able to navigate the Siemens Support documentation.... SIMATIC Industrial Software SIMATIC Safety - Configuring and Programming https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/54110126 Scope of this documentation This documentation is valid for the optional packages STEP 7 Safety Advanced V13 SP1 and STEP 7 Safety Basic V13 SP1. ... Approvals The SIMATIC Safety F-system is certified for use in safety mode up to: ● Safety integrity level SIL3 in accordance with IEC 61508:2010 ● Performance Level (PL) e and category 4 in accordance with ISO 13849-1:2006 or EN ISO 13849-1:2008
...
Conventions
"(S7-1500)" indicates that the section only applies to S7-1500 F-CPUs. S7-1500 F-CPUs also includes ET 200SP F-CPUs. You might also appreciate the following Application Example:
Emergency stop up to SIL 3 / PL e with a fail-safe S7-1500 controller

Hello, Me too.. I don't consider my self an expert in S7-1500 But I can tell you according to technical specifications that Fail Safe CPU released are now SIL3 certified. For instance, have a look on the technical specification of 6ES7515-2FM01-0AB0 |

Hello, Just to add something, As I told to achieve SIL3 Redundancy in IOs is not a must. See this manual and go to Each module and see the flow chart which will guide you to achieve the needed SIL level For ET200M Fail Safe Modules SIMATIC Automation System S7-300 ET 200M Distributed I/O Device Fail-safe signal modulesFor ET200 MP (for S7-1500) there is no one manual for all modules, you have to download manual for each module. Foe example: For F-DI 16 Module: SIMATIC ET 200MP digital I/O module F-DI 16x24VDC |

Hello, I did not read this info but I have seen a video to compare the S7-300 & S7-1500 CPU performance. The comparison was based on measuring the scan cycle time, seeing the diagnosics on the S7-1500 display, ..etc You can see the video from here: Performance comparison CPU 1518-CPU 319Fore sure these are more features better in S7-1500 than those in S7-300 But also, desicion will still based on the application needs and price. |

I have few questions for S71500. Is there any way we can migrate s71500 program and blocks to Step version 5.5. I know vice versa is possible but how do we do reverse if needed. We can integrate s7300 or s7300 with PCS7 project, is similar thing possible with s71500 through PCS7 library. |

Hello, A fast answer No. And I can tell that Siemens will not make this tool in the future. Because normally we migrate an old system to newer system. I know that S7-300 is not an obsolete. But it's older than S7-300. Let me ask you a hypothetical question: Will Siemens made a migration tool to migrate S7 programs to S5? |

You aRe correct in your analogy. However, since s7300 and s7400 are active products and upgrades are available for both of these products at the same time. Moreover s7400 is not going away easily. Therefore if with a client there is a s7400 project with redundancy and now s71500 with Simplex application. There is a similaritiesin both jobs code and both codes are getting updated concurrently. So is there any utilities created by some 3rd parties vendors to make this conversion possible both ways? |

Again, I don't think so. Suppose i am using a third party migrator tool S5-S7... Imagine what will be missed. And what will be wrong migrated.... And imagine the impact. |
