The SIMATIC ET 200S interface module for EtherNet/IP has the following properties:

• EtherNet/IP communication according to the ODVA specification "EtherNet/IP Adaptation of CIP", Edition 1.12 and "Common Industrial Protocol (CIP)", Edition 3.11.
• Communication: 100 MBd, auto-detection, full-duplex, auto-negotiation.
• LED diagnostics in accordance with the ODVA specification for EtherNet/IP.
• Integrated two-port switch for easy installation of a linear topology (ring topology is not supported); cost-saving installation, no external switch required.
• Max. address space: 255 bytes input and 255 bytes output.
• Parameterization and diagnostics of the IO modules using software (Configuration Tool).
• To utilize the address space of the CPU efficiently, the addresses of the IO modules can be packed.
• Due to the SD card, the IM can also be replaced without a programming device (PG); storage of the IP address and configuration on the SD card.
• The firmware (FW) of the IM can be upgraded via EtherNet/IP as needed.
• Quick response times thanks to short cycle times (typically 2 ms).
• Support of the EtherNet/IP function "QuickConnect class B" (approx. 650 ms ramp-up time; approx. 1 s until the start of the first IO cycle).
• 24 V DC supply voltage via push-in plugs; loop-through of the supply voltage.
• Connection of EtherNet/IP via standard RJ45 connector.
• Up to 63 modules can be plugged in and operated behind an IM.
• It is possible to pack address data within the ET 200S.
• All terminal modules and accessories of the ET 200S can be used.

Please note that safety modules and frequency converters cannot be used. You can find more detailed information on this in SIMATIC Update (article ID: 63097785)

To be able to use the full functionality of the ET 200S IO modules, corresponding software is needed (configuration tool) to change parameters and read diagnostics.

Scope of delivery

The following components are delivered together with the interface module:

• Interface module ZNX-EIP-200S
• SD card 2 MB (6ES7 954-8LB01-0AA0)
• Bus termination module for ET 200S (6ES7 193-4JA00-0AA0)
• Connector for 24 V DC supply voltage
• Companion disk with the manuals and the configuration tool

EtherNet/IP configuration tool

The interface module can be operated in the "Auto Config Mode". A separate configuration tool is provided for changing parameters. This tool also has the following functions:

• Selection as to whether DHCP/BOOTP or a fixed IP address is to be used
• Setting the network parameters (IP address, network mask, etc.)
• Reading out diagnostic messages
• Firmware update via EtherNet/IP
• Setting the properties of the EtherNet/IP ports (auto-negotiation, fixed baud rate, etc.)
• Making settings for QuickConnect.

The configuration tool is free of charge. It is on the CD which is supplied with the interface module.

Currently, this configuration tool is only available in English. The same applies to the accompanying manual.
