Siemens 6ES7518-4AX00-1AC0 / 6ES7518-4FX00-1AC0 are SIMATIC S7-1500 MFP CPU bundles that combine STEP 7 control, C/C++ Runtime and an OPC UA Runtime license. The standard 6ES7518-4AX00-1AC0 is built around CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP, while the 6ES7518-4FX00-1AC0 uses the fail-safe CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP MFP for safety-program execution.
Across Siemens 6ES7518-4AX00-1AC0 / 6ES7518-4FX00-1AC0, the communication structure is shared: interface 1 provides PROFINET IRT with a two-port switch, interface 2 provides PROFINET RT, interface 3 provides PROFINET basic services and interface 4 provides PROFIBUS. The network plan can therefore preserve interface roles, but the project must still use the exact standard or F-CPU hardware identity.
For application sizing, Siemens 6ES7518-4AX00-1AC0 / 6ES7518-4FX00-1AC0 both provide 60 MB of data work memory, 1 ns bit performance and require a SIMATIC Memory Card of at least 2 GB. The standard CPU supplies 6 MB of program work memory, whereas the fail-safe CPU supplies 9 MB and adds the safety runtime boundary; they must not be treated as electrically or programmatically interchangeable records.
