Mode of operation

Via PROFINET or PROFIBUS, a central controller can access the distributed I/O modules of the ET 200SP in the same way as central I/O modules.

Communication is handled entirely by the PN controller or the master interface module (in the central controller) and in the IM 155-6. Interference-free internal data transfer using shielded cables.

Comprehensive, channel-specific and easy-to-program diagnostics with plain text messages permit the localization and correction of plant errors in the shortest possible time and significantly increase availability.

Configuration, parameterization and diagnostics

The ET 200SP is configured and assigned parameters via STEP 7 or the configuration tool of the controller used.

Extensive diagnostic information is available to the user, depending on the selected I/O module.
