Advantages of modernization

The S7-1500 system supplements the previous S7-300/S7-400 systems. Over the
next few years, the systems S7-300, S7-400 and S7-1500 will be marketed in
parallel. A phasing out of S7-300/S7-400 is not planned before the end of 2020.
After this time the components of both systems will still be available for another 10
years as spare parts.

Meanwhile, mechanisms and technologies have changed. A modern SIMATIC
automation system such as the S7-1500 can offer you the following technical and
financial benefits:
Increased productivity
Reduced total production costs, for example, due to integrated system
diagnostics and thus related higher plant availability
Increased utilization of machines
Compliance with new regulations, for example: Security, protection against
modern dangers
Improved product quality and process control
Greater flexibility in production and production planning
Support of future integration and expansion of your plants
Support of state-of-the-art manufacturing technology
Access to a pool of employees familiar with state-of-the-art automation
technology and capable of maintaining modernized plants
The risk for old plants increases continuously due to the difficult spare parts
supply situation
