SIPLUS ET 200SP CPU 1512SP F-1 PN T1 RAIL for standard and fail-safe applications with average requirements in terms of processing performance and response speed in discrete production technology. SIPLUS ET 200SP CPU 1512SP F-1 PN T1 RAIL can be used as a PROFINET IO controller or as distributed intelligence (PROFINET I-Device). The integrated PROFINET IO IRT interface is designed as a 3-port switch enabling configuration of a linear topology in the system via port 1 and 2, such that a PG/PC or HMI device can also be connected via port 3.

When used as an I-device, the SIPLUS ET 200SP CPU 1512SP F-1 PN T1 RAIL enables distributed preprocessing of process data locally and only delivers the information actually required to the higher-level controller. This has the following advantages:

• Less load on central controller
• Short response times to critical local signals
• Less load on the bus system due to smaller data volumes
• Faster commissioning due to pre-tested units and parallel commissioning
• Increased availability and flexibility due to autonomous machine units
• Easy-to-understand configuration

SIPLUS ET 200SP CPU 1512SP F-1 PN T1 RAIL operates fully independently of the central controller. If the controller fails, the CPU simply continues to operate.

The bit-modular design of the ET 200SP I/O system, together with SIPLUS ET 200SP CPU 1512SP F-1 PN T1 RAIL, enables functionally oriented station design.

In addition, the CPU offers comprehensive control functionalities via easy-to-configure blocks as well as the ability to connect drives via standardized PLC-open blocks.
