SIMATIC ET 200MP
The multi-channel and multi-functional S7-1500 I/O
The ET 200MP I/O system with IP20 degree of protection is
scalable and is used not only as a central IO for S7-1500,
but also in a distributed configuration connected to
PROFINET or PROFIBUS (available soon). As many as 30 IO
modules can be inserted into each station. The modules
have a low parts variance and the front connector is stan-
dardized for all 35 mm wide modules. This considerably
simplifies ordering, logistics and storage of spare parts
Station design
The module width has been reduced from 40 mm (S7-300) to
35 mm. Thanks to the smaller footprint, better use is made of
the cabinet space.
SIMATIC ET 200MP station design
All IO modules have a standardized 40-pin front connector,
which simplifies the ordering process and the storage of spare
parts.
Due to the self-assembling backplane bus, the IO system can
be constructed on a scalable and flexible basis. In addition, an
active backplane bus is being prepared that allows modules to
be withdrawn or inserted during operation ("hot swapping").
In both cases, the same IO modules are used.
Mechanical slot coding guarantees the unique assignment of
module and front connector. This prevents wiring errors
caused by the use of an incorrect front connector and protects
the modules from being destroyed during replacement. In ad-
dition, the modules have electronic short-circuit protection.
Wiring
The front connectors have a pre-engaged position in which
they are not yet electrically connected. In this position, the
front connectors can be conveniently pre-wired. This means
that rewiring and fault repair are possible during operation.
Pre-engaged position of front connector
SIMATIC TOP connect – preassembled system cabling for digi-
tal and analog signals – is available to ensure fast assembly
and to prevent wiring errors. SIMATIC TOP connect enables
you to complete the wiring easily, quickly and safely.

The circuit diagrams of the modules are printed on the inside
doors. This enables servicing work to be carried out without
detailed plant documentation or by less experienced person-
nel.
