Simple application:

• High performance and data transfer rate even with large quantity frameworks due to consistent use of proven PROFINET mechanisms
• Simple installation and wiring thanks to intelligent product design
• Scalable station design using modules with different functionalities and number of channels
• Shortening of commissioning times and plant downtimes thanks to channel-granular diagnostics

Compact design:

• Expansion of station with up to 30 I/O modules with PROFINET or 12 I/O modules with PROFIBUS
• Compact dimensions allow installation in same mounting space as an ET 200M
• Integrated shielding concept for technology and analog modules allows an interference-resistant and rugged design
• Uniform front connectors, matching either all 35 mm wide or all 25 mm wide I/O modules
• Particularly space-saving design possible with the slim 25 mm I/O modules of the S7-1500
