SIMATIC ET 200S 23
Bit-modular economical design with multi-conductor connection
In addition to the extremely low space requirements, the
ET 200S results in savings in wiring of up to 80% in compar-
ison to conventional solutions.
The reasons for this are:
• The backplane bus is built up automatically.
• All supply terminals have the characteristics of terminal
blocks, allowing signal leads and motor cables to be
directly connected to the SIMATIC ET 200S without the
need for intermediate terminals.
• The integral safety system is a system component –
an additional safety bus can therefore be omitted.
• Reserve modules can be used to reserve module slots for
future use.
• Permanent wiring
• Considerably less cross-wiring thanks to the self-assem-
bling voltage busses – this reduces the testing outlay and
possible sources of error.
• The module labeling is not covered by the wiring when the
module is installed.
• Easy configuration of an ET 200S station with the
SIMATIC Selection Tool
Fast Connect
The insulation displacement
method Fast Connect offers
even more benefits for instal-
lation of the electronic and
power modules.
With this new method, the
standard conductor cross-
sections from 0.34 to
1.5 mm² can be connected.
No preparation is required for
installation:
• Time savings of up to 60 %
for installation as com-
pared to the conventional
connection methods
• No stripping or crimping necessary
• Simple and safe installation with a screwdriver. Reduction
of error ratio during installation
• The stripped length does not have to be determined
