SIMATIC ET 200SP is a highly flexible and scalable I/O system with IP20 protection which can communicate with SIMATIC PCS 7 automation systems (controllers) via PROFINET IO. Designed for installation in enclosures or control cabinets, it convinces with a particularly compact design, exceptional usability, and impressive performance.

The comprehensive, channel-specific and easy-to-program diagnostics with plain text messages means that faults can be located and eliminated in an extremely short time.

Summary of main features

• Remote I/O stations with IP20 protection, can be networked via PROFINET IO
• Free selection of PROFINET connection system and hardware using BusAdapter (BA 2?RJ45, BA 2?FC, BA 2?SCRJ, BA SCRJ/RJ45 or BA SCRJ/FC)
• System redundancy S2: ET 200SP station can establish communication to each of the two CPUs of an AS redundancy station via an interface module
• Up to 64 I/O modules (digital/analog); full data volume up to 1 440 bytes (with S2 system redundancy to 1 000 bytes)
• Compact, rugged, and easy-to-service design with permanent wiring:
  • Shielded backplane bus, designed as module rack using BaseUnits
  • Push-in terminals for quick, one-handed wiring without the use of tools
  • Excellent accessibility of terminals arranged in rows
  • I/O module and terminal box can be replaced during operation (hot swapping)
  • Automatic coding of the I/O modules prevents destruction of the electronics due to faulty equipping
  • Simple retrofitting of modules at the station end without reconfiguration
  • Unambiguous inscription and color concept helps avoid faults
  • Consistent shielding of conductor via terminal box and backplane bus to the PROFINET cable
  • Low space requirement allows high packing density in the control cabinet
• Significant system functions
  • Self-assembling potential groups without external wiring or jumpers
  • Individual load groups can be formed without extra power modules
  • Partial commissioning: Tolerating of gaps in the design through reservation of slots for further configuration
  • Electronic rating plate (I&M data 0...3)
  • Extensive diagnostics, channel-specific
