More Information

Overview Manuals Memory Workflow PROFINET Roles PROFIBUS Channel Protection and Access

Features:

  • Separate program and data work-memory areas keep executable code apart from live controller data.
  • The first PROFINET path provides a two-port IRT switch, while the second Ethernet path has a separate communication role.
  • A dedicated RS-485 channel supplies PROFIBUS DP master communication up to 12 Mbit/s.
The 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0 performs the CPU 1516-3 PN/DP control role within a SIMATIC S7-1500 station.

A required SIMATIC Memory Card holds the load-memory content used with the integrated program and data work memory.

Local display, mode-selection, access-protection, and network-status functions support controller commissioning and operation.

The Siemens 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0 SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1516-3 PN/DP Central Processing Unit may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

All prices are shown in USD.

Program, Data, and Load Storage

  • Program area: Executable control code occupies the dedicated 1 MB work-memory partition.
  • Data area: The separate 5 MB partition holds the working data used during execution.
  • Load path: Project content is supplied through the required plug-in SIMATIC Memory Card.
  • Runtime relation: The CPU transfers the required project content from removable load storage into its execution areas.

Separated Ethernet Functions

  • First interface: Two switched RJ45 ports provide the PROFINET IRT connection.
  • IO operation: This first path can operate as both PROFINET IO controller and IO device.
  • Second interface: A single RJ45 port carries SIMATIC and open IE communication independently.
  • Service access: Web-server communication is available on both documented Ethernet paths.

DP Master Communication Path

  • Physical layer: The third communication interface uses an isolated RS-485 connection.
  • Controller role: The channel is assigned to PROFIBUS DP master operation rather than DP-slave operation.
  • Bus rate: The documented transmission ceiling is 12 Mbit/s.
  • System relation: PROFIBUS devices remain on a dedicated fieldbus path instead of sharing the two Ethernet interfaces.

Project and Controller Access Controls

  • User program: Password protection controls access to the loaded automation project.
  • Program assets: Copy protection and block protection are supported for configured content.
  • CPU access: Write, read/write, and complete protection levels can be selected.
  • Local interface: The front display can be protected with its own password.
Description
Siemens 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0 is the CPU 1516-3 PN/DP central processing unit in the SIMATIC S7-1500 system. It executes the user program, maintains controller data, and coordinates PROFINET and PROFIBUS communication from the central controller position.

Program execution in 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0 uses separate integrated work-memory areas: 1 MB for program code and 5 MB for data. Typical bit operations take 10 ns, while a plug-in SIMATIC Memory Card provides the required load-memory path for the project.

Three communication paths give 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0 distinct network roles. The first PROFINET IRT interface contains a two-port switch and supports both IO-controller and IO-device operation; the second Ethernet interface carries SIMATIC, open IE, and web-server communication without PROFINET IO roles; the RS-485 interface operates as a PROFIBUS DP master up to 12 Mbit/s.

At the controller hardware boundary, 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0 accepts 24 V DC within 19.2 to 28.8 V DC and provides local display, mode-selection, and link-status functions. Horizontal installation permits operation from 0 to 60 °C, with the display switching off at about 50 °C while the CPU remains within its documented operating range.

Technical notes
Siemens 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0 combines CPU 1516-3 execution with separated PROFINET IRT, Ethernet, and PROFIBUS communication paths. A SIMATIC Memory Card is required for its load-memory function.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
Which hardware item is mandatory before Siemens 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0 can load its controller project?
Siemens 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0 requires a plug-in SIMATIC Memory Card for load memory, and its project is engineered from STEP 7 TIA Portal V12.0 or later.
How should the two Ethernet paths on Siemens 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0 be assigned?
On Siemens 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0, the first two-port interface handles PROFINET IO controller/device and IRT traffic, while the second one-port Ethernet interface carries SIMATIC, open IE, and web-server communication without PROFINET IO roles.
Can Siemens 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0 be configured as a PROFIBUS DP slave?
No. The RS-485 channel on Siemens 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0 supports the PROFIBUS DP master role and is not specified for DP-slave operation.
Why can the display of Siemens 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0 switch off while the CPU remains powered?
The display on Siemens 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0 switches off at an operating temperature of about 50 °C, although horizontal CPU operation is specified up to 60 °C.
How is work memory divided inside Siemens 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0?
Siemens 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0 provides 1 MB of integrated work memory for program code and a separate 5 MB area for controller data.
If Siemens 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0 remains off, which DC limits should be measured first?
Verify that Siemens 6ES7516-3AN00-0AB0 receives 24 V DC within the documented 19.2 to 28.8 V DC range and that polarity is correct before checking the project or network interfaces.
