- Compact & Scalable: High channel density in a small footprint, fits into standard S7-300/S7-1500 mounting space, expandable up to 30 modules.
- S7-1500 Compatibility: Uses the same I/O modules as the S7-1500, simplifying spare parts and planning.
- User-Friendly Design:
- Standardized Connectors: Uniform 40-pin front connectors reduce ordering/wiring errors.
- Channel Diagnostics: LEDs and diagnostics provide fast fault identification.
- Pre-wiring: Easy wiring during commissioning or changes.
- Integrated Functions: Technology modules with counting, PWM, and support for HART/NAMUR.
- Safety Integrated: Fail-safe (F-CPU) modules available for safety-critical applications up to SIL3.
- Communication: Supports PROFINET, PROFINET IRT, and PROFI-BUS with various interface modules, including integrated 2-port switches.
- Ruggedness: SIPLUS versions for extended temperature (-30°C to +60°C) and high altitude (up to 5,000m).
SIMATIC ET 200MP
The simple use of SIMATIC ET 200MP is exemplified by a modular and scalable station with the SIMATIC S7-1500 I/O modules in a distributed configuration. The modules have high channel density and low parts variance. As a result, ordering, logistics and spare-parts inventory are considerably simplified.
- Large-Scale Plant Configurations: Specifically suited for plants with large quantity structures where high channel counts are required in a centralized or distributed setup.
- High-Availability Systems: Ideal for process environments using S7-1500R/Hredundant systems. It supports “Hot Swapping” (removing/inserting modules during operation) and S2 redundancy to prevent plant downtime.
- Space-Critical Installations: With high-density 64-channel modules and a slim 35 mm or 25 mm design, it is perfect for saving footprint in control cabinets.
- Time-Critical & High-Speed Processes: Optimized for tasks requiring extremely short response times, such as isochronous mode with PROFINET IRT (down to 250 µs) and high-speed analog conversion (62.5 µs).
- Multi-Protocol Environments: The MultiFieldbus interface allows it to be used in systems running PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, or Modbus TCP.
- Architecture: Modular, scalable, distributed I/O system for S7-1500.
- Connectivity: Supports PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP (up to 30 modules), PROFIBUS (up to 12 modules).
- Module Capacity: Expandable up to 30 I/O modules per station.
- Design: Compact, with uniform front connectors, integrated shielding, and high channel density.
- Performance: High-speed communication, suitable for isochronous mode (e.g., <1ms cycle times).
- Diagnostics: Integrated system diagnostics and I&M data (Identification & Maintenance).
- Hot-Swapping: Modules can be inserted/removed without stopping the CPU (reaction-free).
- Module Variety: Over 40 different digital, analog, and technology modules available.
