The ET 200pro based Distributed Controller
Thanks to their compact design, Distributed Controllers are particularly suitable for series machine manufacturing. They can be accommodated directly on the machine. In networked plants, connection to a production line’s central control cabinet is realized via PROFINET.
The relocation of intelligence from the central control cabinet to Distributed Controllers on the individual stations entails positive effects on a plant’s availability. Faults on one station can be rectified without leading to a standstill of the entire plant.
Standard CPUs
Standard CPUs - CPU 1513pro-2 PN and CPU 1516pro-2 PN
The standard CPUs are the right choice for applications that also contain distributed automation structures alongside central I/O and require protection level IP 65/67.
They 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 so that a linear topology can be set up in the system.
The additional integrated PROFINET IO RT interface with separate IP address can be used, for example, for network separation to operate additional PROFINET IO devices.
In addition, the CPU offer comprehensive control functionalities as well as the ability to connect drives via standardized PLC-open blocks.
The ET 200pro system can be used for controlling autonomous technological functional units, e.g.:
- Conveyor systems, switches
- Lifting stations
- Positioning tasks
- Workstations in the powertrain segment of the automotive industry
The CPU’s potential applications are therefore extended manufacturing cells with preprocessing, where stand-alone operation is also an option. Cabinet-free installations are possible due to the high IP67 degree of protection.
Failsafe CPUs
Failsafe CPUs - CPU 1513pro F-2 PN and CPU 1516pro F-2 PN
The failsafe CPUs are the right choice for safety related applications that also contain distributed automation structures alongside central I/O and require protection level IP 65/67.
They 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 so that a linear topology can be set up in the system.
The additional integrated PROFINET IO RT interface with separate IP address can be used, for example, for network separation to operate additional PROFINET IO devices.
In addition, the fail-safe CPUs offers comprehensive control functionalities as well as the ability to connect drives via standardized PLC-open blocks.
