Features:
- The CPU executes standard and fail-safe control programs in the SIMATIC S7-1500F platform.
- A two-port PROFINET interface operates as both IO Controller and IO Device.
- Program, data, and removable load memory use separate storage areas.
The 6ES7513-1FL01-0AB0 processes the configured user program and safety program, then exchanges their I/O data through the central rack and PROFINET network.
The integrated switch connects two Ethernet segments without adding a separate CPU interface, while IRT and isochronous functions coordinate time-sensitive I/O updates.
A SIMATIC Memory Card is required because it stores the load memory from which the CPU transfers blocks into working memory.
The Siemens 6ES7513-1FL01-0AB0 SIMATIC S7-1500F CPU 1513F-1 PN Fail-Safe Central Processing Unit may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Standard and safety logic share one CPU
- F-program: The CPU executes certified fail-safe blocks alongside the standard user program.
- PROFIsafe: Safety data is exchanged with configured fail-safe devices through the supported protocol versions.
- Memory separation: Program and data areas remain separately allocated inside CPU work memory.
- Engineering release: The configured firmware level determines the minimum compatible TIA Portal version.
One interface performs several network roles
- IO Controller: The CPU cyclically exchanges process data with configured PROFINET devices.
- IO Device: The same CPU can expose configured data to a higher-level controller.
- Integrated switch: Two RJ45 ports join the PROFINET line within one CPU interface.
- IRT operation: Isochronous real-time traffic synchronizes time-critical I/O updates with the user program.
How project data reaches execution memory
- Memory Card: The required card holds the removable load-memory image for the CPU project.
- Program area: Executable blocks are transferred into the dedicated program work memory.
- Data area: Data blocks and runtime values use the larger data work-memory allocation.
- Retentive data: Selected values remain stored across a power interruption within the available retentive allocation.
The CPU coordinates central and distributed I/O
- Central modules: Backplane communication maps the installed rack modules into the CPU address space.
- Distributed devices: PROFINET brings remote device data into the same configured process image.
- Power budget: The CPU contributes power to the backplane, so the rack configuration must remain within the available supply.
- Diagnostics: Module and network conditions are available through the display, engineering system, and web server.
