System Overview
SIMATIC 545/555/575 System Manual
System Features (continued)
All CPUs offer the following features:
•
Support for I/O expansion using PROFIBUS-DP I/O.
•
Support for I/O expansion using Series 505 remote I/O. (Exception: the
545–1103/–1105 cannot use the Series 505 remote I/O channel.)
•
Optional password protection for user programs.
•
Full support for SIMATIC PCS
t
.
•
Immediate local-base I/O module updates that allow your application
program to access an I/O point multiple times during a CPU scan.
•
Cyclic RLL that allows you to create an additional RLL program that
runs independently from the main RLL program.
•
External subroutines that allow your program to call externally
developed programs written in high-level languages such as C.
•
Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) loop functions for process and
batch control.
•
Analog alarms.
•
Special Function Programs (SFPGMs) and Special Function
Subroutines (SFSUBs) that use a higher level statement-driven
programming language to ease the development of complex programs.
•
Tuneable scan timeline.
•
Battery backup to maintain a real-time clock and the dynamic state of
user program, variables, and retentive control relays (CRs) in case of a
power outage.
•
Ethernet network connectivity, using the H1 or TCP/IP protocols. The
PPX:505–CP1434TF H1 module (Rel. 2.0 and later) or
PPX:505–CP2572 TCP/IP module is required.
•
PROFIBUS-FMS network connectivity for master-to-master
communications. The PPX:505–CP5434-FMS module is required.
•
A real-time clock that keeps track of both date and time.
