Scale-able, flexible, modular I/O system with IP20 protection

The scalable SIMATIC ET 200SP I/O system is a highly flexible, modular I/O system with IP20 degree of protection. Via an interface module with PROFINET or PROFIBUS interface it can exchange IO data of the connected I/O modules with a higher-level control system. Alternatively, as further head-end stations, various PLC, F-PLC and Open Controllers are available as compact S7-1500 Controllers (Distributed Controller). ET 200SP components are available as SIPLUS version for extreme requirements and a high degree of robustness.

For ET 200SP, a comprehensive range of I/O modules, including fail-safe versions, is available:

  • Digital input modules (DI), with color coding white
  • Digital output modules (DQ), with color coding black
  • Analog input modules (AI), with color coding light blue
  • Analog output modules (AQ), with color coding dark blue
  • Technology modules (TM), with color coding turquoise
  • Communication modules (CM), with color coding light gray
  • Special modules, with color coding mint green
  • Motor starters as direct on-line starters (DS) and reversing starters (RS)
  • Pneumatics

Apart from the standard type of delivery as an individual package, selected I/O modules and BaseUnits are also available in a pack of 10 units. The pack of 10 units enables the amount of waste to be reduced considerably, as well as saving the time of unpacking individual modules.
