CM AS-i Master ST for SIMATIC ET 200SP

Configuration
The following software is required for configuration of the
CM AS-i Master ST module:
•
STEP 7 (classic) V5.5 SP3 HF4 or higher with HSP 2092 or
HSP 2092 V3.0 (for firmware V1.1) or
•
STEP 7 (TIA Portal) V12 or higher or V13 SP1 or higher
(for firmware V1.1) or
•
the GSD file of the ET 200SP with STEP 7 or another
engineering tool
STEP 7 enables user-friendly configuration and diagnostics of
the AS-i master and any connected slaves.
Alternatively, you can also apply the AS-Interface ACTUAL con-
figuration as the DESIRED configuration at the "touch of a button"
via the control panel integrated in the TIA Portal or an optional
expansion button. Configuration with the GSD file is possible
only with the button.
The CM AS-i Master ST module occupies up to 288 input bytes
and up to 288 output bytes in the I/O data of the ET 200SP
station. The I/O assignment depends on the configuration in
STEP 7.
Together with an ET 200SP CPU 1510SP/1512SP (firmware V1.8
or higher) or 1515SP PC, preprocessing of safe AS-i signals di-
rectly in the ET 200SP station and setting up of an independent
AS-i Safety station without a higher-level CPU are possible
(TIA Portal V13 SP1 Update 4 and higher).

Benefits
The CM AS-i Master ST for ET 200SP communication module
enables modular, simple and high-performance expansion of
AS-interface networks via engineering in the TIA Portal.
Up to eight CM AS-i Master ST units can be plugged into one
ET 200SP station with IM 155-6 PN Standard. The maximum
configuration depends on the interface module used.
Multiple masters as well as single masters can thus be imple-
mented in the ET 200SP depending on the number of modules.
Together with the interface module, a scalable PROFINET/
AS-i Link or PROFIBUS/AS-i Link can be assembled.
Using STEP 7, the AS-i network is consistently configured and
programmed with only one configuration tool.
The PRONETA PC program (for ET 200SP with PROFINET inter-
face module) is available for convenient input/output testing
during the commissioning of an AS-i network without a CPU;

For diagnostics during ongoing operation, diagnostics blocks
with clearly arranged visualization on the SIMATIC
HMI panel are
available or can be downloaded free of charge via a web
browser;
