SIMATIC ET 200SP20
Communication
The ET 200SP communicates via PROFINET, the global Ether-
net standard in automation. The I/O system is dimensioned for
a maximum internal data transfer rate of 100 Mbit/s.
This is the first I/O system in which the internal communica-
tion cycle synchronizes automatically, and without configur-
ing overhead, to the set PROFINET bus clock. This significantly
reduces undesirable response time fluctuations, and makes
more accurate positioning or closed-loop control possible, for
example.
In IRT (isochronous real-time) mode, there is system-wide syn-
chronization from the user software to the terminal.
The input data of all stations is acquired synchronously and
offset-free, and the output data is then also output synchro-
nously and offset-free.
The interface module of the SIMATIC ET 200SP will also be
available with a PROFIBUS interface – the tried-and-tested
communication standard proven in numerous applications.
ET 200SP increases energy efficiency in the automation sys-
tem with PROFIenergy by shutting down the loads during
breaks in a controlled manner, module-by-module or channel-
by-channel (available soon), thus reducing energy consump-
tion. PROFIenergy also uses parameterizable break-time sub-
stitute values for inputs and outputs.
Safety Integrated
SIMATIC ET 200SP also permits safety-related communication.
The digital safety modules are exactly as compact as the stan-
dard modules. Their functional safety is certified in accor-
dance with EN 61508. They are designed for safety-related
use up to SIL3 according to EN 62061 and PL e according to
ISO 13849.
One special feature of the F-modules of SIMATIC ET 200SP is
that the F-addresses no longer have to be set manually by
means of the DIL switches on the module. Instead, they are
now assigned with the engineering tool during commission-
ing, which simplifies the setting process and saves time.
Engineering
The ET 200SP is configured with the TIA Portal from V11, SP2
or STEP 7 from V5.5, SP2.
Diagnostics
Extensive diagnostics functions simplify monitoring and main-
tenance. The digital modules of the function class "Standard"
already offer wirebreak and short-circuit diagnostics. Diagnos-
tics takes place via LEDs on the I/O module.
In addition, SIMATIC ET 200SP features an easily accessible,
self-holding measuring probe. It remains inserted in the de-
vice and permits "multi-connection" (simultaneous existence
of several measuring probes).
Other system functions include:
• Multi hot swapping: Modules can be replaced during oper-
ation
• "Reset to factory" settings of the interface module via push-
button
• Dynamic reparameterization of the I/O modules during
operation
• Configuration of the ET 200SP station controlled via the
user program, e.g. adaptation of the configuration to the
actual machine (option handling) and partial commission-
ing
• Firmware update for functional expansion of the interface
module and the I/O modules without module replacement
• Electronic rating plate (identification data) for unique iden-
tification of the relevant module for test or quality assur-
ance purposes
