Wiring

The separation of mechanical and electronic components per-

mits permanent wiring. In addition, it is possible to pre-wire

the BaseUnits on the standard DIN mounting rail.

This allows the modules as well as the terminal boxes to be re-

placed during operation (hot swapping).

The new arrangement of the terminals and the push-in termi-

nals makes wiring and disconnection of the cables faster and

simpler than ever. Wiring is carried out without tools, using

one hand, and with very low insertion force. Despite this, the

connections have an extremely high mechanical load capaci-

ty. Only a screwdriver is required for disconnecting the cables.

The shielding concept covers the conductor, the terminal box,

the backplane bus, and the PROFINET cable. It ensures the

greatest possible electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and in-

creases the signal quality.

Labeling

A well thought-out labeling system ensures clear and proper

presentation of the ET 200SP station.

The following labels are found at the factory:

• Order number and version release of the hardware and

firmware are printed.

• The I/O modules are color-coded depending on type.

• The terminal connection diagram helps with fast and error-

free replacement of connected devices.

• A 2D matrix code is printed on the front. It specifies the or-

der number and the serial number. This makes it possible to

conduct an automated comparison between projected and

actual station layout. The barcode also allows you to link to

other information (e.g. manuals, firmware, certificates) via

a smartphone application.

The following labels are possible on the user side:

• The system components can be labeled using clip-on iden-

tification tags.

• Individually printable, generous labeling strips allow

description of the signals applied to the terminal.

• Color coding labels identify the potentials of an I/O module

and simply assignment of the cables.
