Distributed I/O in the control cabinet (IP20)
SIMATIC ET 200MP
The SIMATIC ET 200MP is a modular, scalable and universally usable I/O system with IP20 degree of protection,
which provides the same system benefits as the S7-1500. The SIMATIC ET 200MP permits the shortest bus cycle
times and fastest response time even with large volumes of data.
Design
SIMATIC ET 200MP is characterized by its variable and scalable station configuration. The maximum
configuration can have up to 30 I/O modules with a maximum of 512 input and output bytes each per station.
With its compact dimensions, the SIMATIC ET 200MP can fit into the existing installation space of a
SIMATIC S7-300 or ET 200M without any problems. There is a uniform 40-pin front connector for all I/O modules.
Components
Interface Modules
:
The Interface Module connects the SIMATIC ET 200MP to PROFINET or PROFIBUS and exchanges data between
the higher-level controller and the I/O modules.
• Interface Module for connecting the S7-1500 I/O module to PROFINET; up to 30 modules can be connected to
one Interface Module.
• Interface Module for connecting the S7-1500 I/O module to PROFIBUS; up to 12 modules can be connected to
one Interface Module
I/O modules
:
Digital and analog input/output modules, technology modules, (counting, positioning, time-based I/O with μs-
precise time stamping of the signals for cam and measuring input applications), and communication modules are
available. F-modules are available for safety-engineering applications.
Various module classes are available to allow the user optimal scalability in his application. The modules
themselves are marked accordingly:
• BA (Basic): Simple, low-cost modules without diagnostics and without parameters
• ST (Standard): Modules with module or load group-granular diagnostics and, if applicable, with parameters; for
analog modules: accuracy class 0.3 %
• HF (High Feature): Modules with channel-granular diagnostics and parameter settings; for analog modules:
accuracy class 0.1 %, increased interference immunity and electrical isolation
• HS (High Speed): Modules with the shortest filter and conversion times for very fast applications;
e.g. 8-channel analog modules with a conversion time of 125 μs
Configuration, parameter assignment and diagnostics
The ET 200MP can be configured and parameterized via the TIA Portal. Depending on the I/O module selected,
the user has comprehensive diagnostic information at his disposal. It must be observed that ET 200MP is only
supported by SIMOTION in combination with SCOUT TIA.
