Features:
- The CPU 1515SP PC2 T combines Windows-based PC functions with preinstalled S7-1500 software control.
- A PROFINET BusAdapter connection and a separate gigabit Ethernet port divide controller and PC network paths.
- CFast, SD/MMC, four USB ports, and DisplayPort support storage, peripherals, service access, and local visualization.
The Intel Atom E3940 processor and 8 GB RAM in 6ES7677-2VB42-0GB0 host both the Windows environment and CPU 1505SP T runtime.
Integrated controller resources in 6ES7677-2VB42-0GB0 cover logic, PID, counting, measurement, and coordinated motion objects, including positioning and synchronous axes.
In the ET 200SP rack, 6ES7677-2VB42-0GB0 provides the station controller function while allowing the system to expand through operable I/O modules on the same line.
The Siemens 6ES7677-2VB42-0GB0 CPU 1515SP PC2 T Open Controller may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

PC and Controller Resources
- Processing split: The Intel Atom E3940 runs the PC environment while CPU 1505SP T executes S7-1500 control tasks.
- Main memory: Eight gigabytes of DDR3L RAM support the Windows and controller workloads in the combined device.
- Primary storage: The configured CFast carries the operating environment, documentation, and restore image.
- Expansion path: The SD/MMC slot provides optional mass storage without replacing the system CFast.
S7-1500 Technology Functions
- Logic runtime: CPU 1505SP T executes the user program with separate integrated areas for program and data.
- Motion allocation: Technology resources are assigned per speed, positioning, synchronous, encoder, cam, or probe object.
- Closed-loop functions: PID_Compact, PID_3Step, and PID_Temp objects are available for documented controller tasks.
- Commissioning access: Status, forcing, trace, and diagnostic-buffer functions expose controller behavior during setup.
Separated Communication Paths
- PROFINET station link: The ET 200SP BusAdapter connects controller traffic to the distributed I/O station.
- PC Ethernet: The independent gigabit RJ45 interface serves Windows-side industrial network communication.
- Controller services: PROFINET IO Controller, IO Device, IRT, and MRP functions organize cyclic data and redundancy behavior.
- Local interfaces: USB and DisplayPort connect service peripherals and a local display without using the fieldbus path.
ET 200SP Installation Limits
- Rack role: The Open Controller occupies the station controller position and can operate with up to 64 ET 200SP modules on one rack.
- Horizontal mounting: The documented operating range reaches 60 degrees C when the device is installed horizontally.
- Vertical mounting: Vertical operation is limited to 50 degrees C and the stated 32-module condition.
- Transport range: Storage and transportation remain within -40 to 70 degrees C.
