The SIMATIC ET 200MP is a modular and scalable I/O system with IP20 degree of protection for universal use, and offers the same system advantages as the S7-1500. The SIMATIC ET 200MP permits extremely short bus cycles and very fast response times, even with large quantity frameworks.

SIMATIC ET 200MP consists of the following components:

• Interface module which communicates with all controllers that operate in conformance with the PROFINET standard IEC 61158.
• Up to 30 I/O modules in any combination can be used within an ET 200MP station.

The distributed I/O system is particularly easy to install, wire, and commission. SIMATIC ET 200MP communicates over PROFINET. Its high speed and data transfer rate result in a high system performance.

Highlights:

• Modular I/O system with IP20 degree of protection for PROFINET
• Compact dimensions
• High degree of user-friendliness due to the following design features:
  • Uniform 40-pin front connector simplifies ordering, logistics, and stock keeping
  • Uniform pin assignment per module type simplifies wiring and helps avoid errors
  • Integrated potential bridges simplify wiring and allow flexible subsequent modification
  • The cable storage space grows along with the requirements and allows a uniform appearance even with insulated conductors of large cross-section and/or thick insulation
  • The prewiring position for the front connector allows convenient wiring when commissioning or also when making changes during operation
  • The DIN top hat rail integrated in the S7-1500 mounting rail allows snapping-on of many standard components such as additional terminals, miniature circuit breakers or small relays
  • The 1:1 allocation of channel status and diagnostics LED, terminal and inscription allows fast locating and elimination of errors. Assistance is provided by the wiring diagram printed on the inside of the front door.
  • The integrated shielding concept for analog and technology modules allows reliable and rugged operation, in particular with high-speed applications. Installation does not require any tools.
• Comprehensive product portfolio comprising digital and analog input or output modules, technology modules, and communication modules for point-to-point communication; further modules, e.g. F modules, will be available soon
• Extensive system functions
  • Integrated system diagnostics when using with an S7-1500 and the TIA portal
  • Increase in communication availability due to Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP)
  • Consistent use of identification and maintenance data IM0 to IM3 for fast electronic and unambiguous identification of individual modules (order number, serial number, etc.)
  • Uniform firmware update for the interface module and all I/O modules for subsequent expansion of functions (investment security)
  • Bus cycle time >=250 µs and coupling to the isochronous task permit implementation of applications with high performance requirements.
  • Up to 30 I/O modules within a station saves interface modules and installation time
  • Omission of MMC; automatic address assignment via LLDP or manually via TIA portal or PST tool
