- Modularity & Scalability: Wide range of modules for digital/analog I/O, motor control, tech functions (counting, motion).
- Easy Wiring: Push-in terminals, color coding, optimized layout, pre-wiring options.
- Diagnostics: Detailed, channel-specific diagnostics for quick error detection.
- Performance: Robust performance, supports high-speed communication (PROFINET/PROFIBUS).
- Reliability: Hot-swapping, vibration resistance, robust housing for industrial environments.
- Integration: Seamlessly integrates with STEP 7/TIA Portal and S7-1500/S7-300 systems.
SIMATIC ET 200SP
Whether you look for compact in-cabinet solutions or robust modules for outside the cabinet, SIMATIC ET 200 meets your requirements cost-effectively. It ensures continuous data availability from engineering to plant operation and acts as an integrated data hub. This allows you to invest in future-proofing your machines and preparing them for new business models such as “Production as a Service”
- Distributed I/O: Bringing control closer to the field devices, away from the central control cabinet.
- Modular Expansion: Easily adding I/O points as needed.
- Ruggedness: Withstanding vibrations, water, dust, and wide temperature ranges.
- Fast Commissioning: Quick setup via TIA Portal and features like AutoStart for IO-Link devices.
- Multi-Fieldbus Support: Connecting to PLCs from different brands (Siemens, Rockwell, etc.).
- Design: Compact, modular design with a small footprint, up to 50% narrower than comparable systems. It uses tool-free push-in terminals for rapid wiring.
- Protection Rating: Typically IP20 for in-cabinet use. Other lines offer IP65/67/69K ratings for on-machine, harsh environments.
- Communication: Supports PROFINET and PROFIBUS, as well as multi-fieldbus modules for EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP connectivity.
- Scalability: The station can be expanded with up to 64 I/O modules plugged into passive base units.
- Module Types: A wide range of modules is available, including digital I/O, analog I/O, fail-safe I/O, technology modules (for counting, positioning, etc.), and even integrated CPUs.
- Diagnostics: Features enhanced, integrated system diagnostics within the CPU firmware, reducing the need for additional programming.
- Special Features: Supports “hot swapping” of modules during operation, high-speed counting, PID control, web server functions, and robust security features.
