SIMATIC ET 200SP
The scalable I/O with excellent ease of use
SIMATIC ET 200SP* (Scalable Peripherals) is the universal I/O
system with IP20 degree of protection for installation in the
control cabinet. Its wide area of application ranges from stan-
dard mechanical equipment manufacture, through high-
speed applications (available soon), up to plant building. The
ET 200SP is particularly easy to use, ensures maximum econ-
omy in the control cabinet with its compact design, and offers
high performance.
Compact design
The ET 200SP makes optimal use of the available space in the
control cabinet. The compact design is achieved by increasing
the number of channels per module. The station width is re-
duced by one slot per potential group because the power
module for feeding in the supply voltage is already integrated
into the system.
The ET 200SP is about 50% narrower than comparable distrib-
uted I/O systems. This means up to 64 modules with a maxi-
mum of 16 signals each can be set up depending on the inter-
face module used.
Thanks to the newly developed connection system, the height
for the terminals has been significantly reduced and thus the
overall height of the system, even with double the number of
terminals:
• With a height of around 117 millimeters, the system pro-
vides space for 16 channels with a single-conductor con-
nection (without AUX terminals).
• For a 3-wire connection with AUX-terminals, the height is
141 millimeters for 8 channels.
• The depth is about 75 millimeters.
An ET 200SP station consists of an interface module (IM) for
connecting to PROFINET, the I/O modules and a server module
that terminates the station:
• The modules are plugged into passive BaseUnits (BUs) that
are in turn mounted on a standard DIN rail. The BaseUnits
(BUs) connect the modules of the ET 200SP station electri-
cally and mechanically with each other. The terminal box of
a BaseUnit can be simply replaced in the case of terminal
damage, for example.
• The PROFINET connection is via bus adapters (BAs) on the
IM with which the connections and physical characteristics
can be selected freely in accordance with requirements,
e.g. RJ45 connector or direct connection (FastConnect).
• The I/O modules define the function of the module at the
terminals and are subdivided into seven module types.
These are each labeled on the front with a colored square
specific to the module type. The mechanical coding of the
I/O modules with the BaseUnit prevents mix-up of the mod-
ules during installation. To achieve simple load shutdown,
individual potential groups can be formed.

Now also available as SIPLUS extreme version for use under extreme
environmental conditions.
