SIMATIC ET 200 variants

Perfect communication on all levels

Distributed machine and plant configurations have now become common practice in automation technology. This reduces the wiring layout and significantly increases flexibility and reliability.

PROFINET and PROFIBUS DP are available for connecting distributed I/O. And the AS-Interface handles communication on the actuator/sensor level. This allows problem-free data exchange throughout the whole automation world.

PROFIBUS DP

PROFIBUS DP is a fast, standardized bus system for the field level.

With the distributed SIMATIC ET 200 I/O system, digital and analog inputs and outputs can be connected to SIMOTION. Intelligent I/O modules can also be used distributedly with SIMATIC ET 200.

The isochronous mode functionality also allows PROFIBUS DP to be used for high-speed, deterministic I/O processing as well as for integrating drives.

PROFINET

PROFINET is the innovative and open Industrial Ethernet standard (IEC 61158) for industrial automation. With PROFINET, devices can be linked up from the field level through to the management level. PROFINET is supported by the SINAMICS drive system and the SIMATIC ET 200S/SP, SIMATIC ET 200M/MP, SIMATIC ET 200pro and SIMATIC ET 200eco/ecoPN distributed I/O systems.

With Isochronous Real-Time (IRT) and High Speed I/O, cycle times of 250 µs are achieved on the basis of PROFINET.

AS-Interface

With AS-Interface, actuators and sensors on the field level can be connected with a simple two-wire line. In addition to communication, this two-wire line is also used to supply the individual stations with power.

SIMATIC ET 200 distributed I/O

The distributed SIMATIC ET 200 I/O provide I/O systems for many different applications:

• SIMATIC ET 200SP: The SIMATIC ET 200SP distributed I/O system is a scalable and extremely flexible distributed I/O system for interfacing the process signals to a central control system via PROFINET. The distributed I/O system is particularly easy to use and, with its compact design, offers maximum economy in the control cabinet. High speed and transmission rates provide significantly stronger performance than conventional systems.
• SIMATIC ET 200S: The finely scalable I/O system for control cabinet installation and time-critical applications in particular; including motor starters, safety technology and individual grouping of load groups

• SIMATIC ET 200MP: Modular I/O system for cabinet installation and high channel densities in the SIMATIC S7?1500 packaging system. SIMATIC ET 200MP permits the shortest bus cycle times and fastest response time even with large volumes of data.

• SIMATIC ET 200M: Modular I/O system for cabinet installation and high channel densities in the SIMATIC S7-300 packaging system
• SIMATIC ET 200pro: The modular I/O system with IP65/67 degree of protection for cabinet-free use close to the machine; with features such as small frame size, integrated PROFIsafe safety technology, PROFINET connection and hot swapping of modules
• SIMATIC ET 200eco: The compact, economical I/O system with IP65/67 degree of protection for local use without a control cabinet with flexible and fast ECOFAST or M12 connection system over PROFIBUS DP
• SIMATIC ET 200eco PN: The compact, economical I/O system with IP65/67 degree of protection for local use without a control cabinet with flexible and fast M12 connection system over PROFIBUS IO
