The ET 200MP components in detail
SIMATIC ET 200MP Central Processing UnitsSIMATIC S7-1500 and SIMATIC ET 200MP share the same system design. Because of this the SIMATIC S7-1500 CPUs are the intelligent Interface Modules of a SIMATIC ET 200MP IO station. |
SIMATIC ET 200MP – Interface ModulesHeader module of the I/O-station and connection to PLC The interface module (IM) connects SIMATIC ET 200MP to PROFINET or PROFIBUS and exchanges data between the higher-level controller and the I/O modules. ET 200MP is especially suitable for use in plants with large and very large configuration limits. The connection to PROFINET and PROFIBUS allows ET 200MP to be installed either centrally in the control cabinet or distributed in plants covering large areas. |
Design and functionsSIMATIC ET 200MP Interface Modules offer sophisticated functionality even without integrated CPUs:
|
PROFINET Interface Modules IM 155 PNFor connecting to PROFINET Interface Modules with Basic (IM 155-5 PN BA), Standard (IM 155-5 PN ST) and High Feature (IM 155-5 PN HF) functionality are available.
|
PROFIBUS Interface Modules IM 155 DPFor connecting to PROFIBUS the Interface Module 155-5 DP ST is available. The interface module is integrated in the TIA Portal. In addition, GSD files are available with which the interface module can be integrated into any engineering tool and operated on any controller that supports PROFIBUS. |
Scalability, performance and usabilityThe digital and analog modules provide exactly the inputs/outputs that are required for the respective task. They can be used both centrally, i.e. directly on the CPU, as well as locally in the ET 200MP I/O system. 25 mm and 35 mm modules are available. The analog modules possess expanded functions like oversampling, measuring range adjustments or scaling of measured values. |

IO-Link MasterET 200MP 8 Port IO-Link MasterThe SIMATIC ET 200MP 8 Port IO-Link Master is based on the current IO-Link specification V1.1, which enables the consistent storage of the IO-Link device parameters in the master. This means that when a device is being replaced, the current parameters are automatically transferred to the new IO-Link device – without additional effort by the user. The special feature of the SIMATIC ET 200MP IO-Link Master module: not only the device parameters are saved automatically, but also the master parameters. This makes replacing a module, whether master or device, possible without a programming device and without backing up the data.
