Distributed automation
The right solution for any requirement
You are constantly on the look out for possibilities of optimiz-
ing production and reducing costs? With increasing competi-
tion it is essential to provide individual machinery and plants
as fast and cost-effectively as possible? This starts with the de-
sign of your machine and continues through installation,
commissioning and normal operation right up to mainte-
nance.
Uniform engineering, comprehensive functionality, simple in-
stallation and high-precision diagnostics from any point in the
plant are essential – and it all needs to be based on interna-
tional standards.
Ahead of the competition thanks to consistent
decentralization
Flexible, distributed solutions are an essential part of modern
automation – solutions that are tailored to your requirements
and permit significant cost savings. Whether compact or mod-
ular, purely digital I/O interfaces or complete distributed sys-
tems with drive technology, direct in harsh industrial environ-
ments.
SIMATIC ET 200 – the right solution for every application
With SIMATIC ET 200 a wide range of distributed I/O systems
is available - for solutions in the control cabinet or without a
control cabinet directly at the machine, as well as for applica-
tions in hazardous areas. SIMATIC ET 200 systems for cabinet-
free configurations are installed in a rugged, fiber-glass rein-
forced plastic enclosure, making them resistant to shock and
dirt, as well as watertight. Furthermore, you need fewer addi-
tional components, save on cabling, and profit from extremely
fast response times.
The modular design makes it possible to scale and expand the
ET 200 systems simply and in small stages. Already integrated
add-on modules reduce costs, and at the same time offer a
widely diverse range of possible applications.
You can choose from many different combination options:
digital and analog inputs/outputs, intelligent modules with
CPU functionality, safety engineering, motor starters, pneu-
matic systems, frequency converters, and diverse technology
modules.
Communication over PROFINET and PROFIBUS, uniform engi-
neering, transparent diagnostic possibilities as well as optimal
interfacing to SIMATIC controllers and HMI units prove the
unique integration of Totally Integrated Automation.
