Distributed I/O system adds safety functions
Siemens Automation and Drives (A and D) has equipped the Simatic ET 200pro distributed I/O system for cabinet-free design with Profinet interface and safety functionality.
Vibration-proof to 25g shock load, rugged, and designed in the high degrees of protection IP65, 66 and 67, it is installed direct at the machine outside the control cabinet.
Assembly is particularly simple, using just a few screws.
Systems designers can choose from three methods of connecting Profibus communication and the voltage supply: direct connection with screw-type cable glands up to 16A electronic load; M12, 7/8" standard connectors; and Ecofast with prepared cable for data and power.
The interface module can be expanded modularly using up to 16 expansion modules.
The removable modules can be replaced during operation thanks to permanent wiring and hot swapping.
Features include module-specific to channel-specific diagnostics.
Available in the first stage of delivery are several four-channel analogue and digital input/output modules, as well as eight-channel digital input/output modules.
Other input/output modules, special modules such as frequency converters and pneumatic modules, identification systems, motor starters, and modules for failsafe applications and the Profinet interface will follow later.
