This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.

2.1 Introduction to industrial cybersecurity
Due to the digitalization and increasing networking of machines and industrial plants, the risk
of cyber attacks is also growing. Appropriate protective measures are therefore mandatory,
particularly in the case of critical infrastructure facilities.
Refer to the System Manual (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/us/en/view/59191792)
for general information and measures regarding industrial cybersecurity.
This section provides an overview of security-related information pertaining to your SIMATIC
device.
Note
Security
-relevant changes to software or devices are documented in the section "New
functions (Page 13)".
2.2 Cybersecurity information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial cybersecurity functions that support
the secure operation of plants, systems, machines, and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines, and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
cybersecurity concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a
concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected
to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary
and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation)
are in place.
For more information on protective industrial cybersecurity measures for implementation,
please visit (https://www.siemens.com/global/en/products/automation/topic-areas/industrial-
cybersecurity.html).
Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are
available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customers' exposure to
cyber threats.
To stay informed about product updates at all times, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial
Cybersecurity RSS Feed under
(https://new.siemens.com/global/en/products/services/cert.html).

New functions
Applications
Customer benefits
Integrated safety
Syslog messages
The CPU stores syslog messages in a local
cache (temporary memory).
The messages can be forwarded to a syslog
server.
The syslog server saves all syslog messag-
es from its connected devices. The mes-
sages can be displayed on the interface of
the server and potential security risks can
be identified.
Local user management
As of TIA Portal version V19 and FW version
V3.1, the CPUs feature improved management
of users, roles, and CPU function rights (User
Management & Access Control, UMAC).
Starting with the above mentioned version,
you can manage all project users with their
rights (e.g. access rights) for all CPUs in the
project. You can do this in the editor for users
and roles in the TIA Portal.
Project users can be managed via the TIA
Portal with their rights (for example,
access rights) for all CPUs in the project in
the editor for users and roles.
Communication of the CPU
Implementation of PROFINET
Security Class 1
As of V19, STEP 7 offers extended configura-
tion options for the SNMP and DCP protocols
in order to meet the requirements for
PROFINET Security Class 1.
Additional protection of communication
within your PROFINET network.
Project-internal shared de-
vice/shared I-device
As of STEP7 V19, a shared device/shared I-
device together with a maximum of two IO
controllers can be created in a single project.
Previously, the second IO controller required
its own project.
Simpler configuration.
Handling timeouts while ex-
changing data When network loads are high, timeouts may occur in PROFINET IO devices during data
record communication. Previously, the
PROFINET IO communication was reduced by
the CPU in this case.
As of STEP 7 V19 and FW version V3.1, you
can configure the behavior of the respective
PROFINET interface.
PROFINET IO communication is main-
tained even under high grid loads
Web server of the CPU
New Web API methods:
Many new API methods extend your access
options to the CPU via the Web API.
Additional applications for the web server

Technology functions of the CPU
Axis functions Measuring gearbox for position-
ing/synchronous axis
Advanced configuration options
Torque feedforward control for position-
ing/synchronous axis:
The torque feedforward control of the CPU
controls the torque required to accelerate the
axis, taking into account the motion profile.
Complex motion sequences can be exe-
cuted faster and more precisely. This
leads to a reduction of following errors in
acceleration phases.
Three drive stop modes can be configured for
the alarm response "Remove enable".
You can choose between a deceleration
ramp, coasting down, and rapid stop.
Dynamic filter with floating mean value The new "Floating mean value filter"
mode is available for the dynamic filter.
Standstill signal on external encoder
The standstill signal is also available for
external encoders. The standstill signal is
output when the encoder values are
within the defined standstill window.
Virtual axis The axis is operated in the virtual mode
with improved runtime behavior.
The new mode replaces the existing be-
havior of the virtual axis.
Measuring input functions Monitoring measuring input With the "Measuring via monitoring"
measuring input type, the measuring
input can capture the measured signal of
another configured measuring input.
Cyclic measuring for central measuring input
Cyclic measuring possible without addi-
tional technology module
Trace functionality of the CPU
Live monitoring for the long-
term trace
With live monitoring for the long-term trace,
you can:
•Display and analyze values directly in the
graph during recording
•Use superimposed measurements for the
long-term trace
•Synchronize time bases
Improved display and analysis of long-
term traces
Long-term project trace
With the long-term project trace, you can
record signals of different S7-1500 CPUs sim-
ultaneously.
The CPUs must be configured in a network.
The recording is stored on a drive that you
have configured.

Performance segments of redundant CPUs
The CPUs of the S7-1500R/H redundant system offer a high degree of reliability and system
availability. A redundant configuration of the most important automation components
reduces the likelihood of production downtimes and the consequences of component errors.
The higher the risks and costs of a production downtime, the more worthwhile the use of a
redundant system. The avoidance of production downtimes compensates for the generally
higher investment costs.

Performance segments of technology CPUs
The technology CPUs can be used for low and mid-range applications, as well as for the high-
end range of machine and plant automation. Because of their extended motion control
functions, they are primarily used for drive control.

These CPUs are described in the fail-safe CPUs.
Performance segments of fail-safe CPUs
The fail-safe CPUs are intended for users who want to implement demanding standard and
fail-safe applications both centrally and decentrally.
These fail-safe CPUs allow the processing of standard and safety programs on a single CPU.
This allows fail-safe data to be evaluated in the standard user program. The integration also
provides the system advantages and the extensive functionality of SIMATIC for fail-safe
applications.
The fail-safe CPUs are certified for use in safety mode up to:
•Safety class (Safety Integrity Level) SIL 3 according to IEC 61508:2010
•Performance Level (PL) e and Category 4 according to ISO 13849-1:2015 or EN ISO 13849-
1:2015
