Made-to-measure distributed automation systems

Does your I/O system need to be as individual as your requirements?

With SIMATIC ET 200, we offer you a multifunctional, modular, and precisely scalable system for distributed automation for solutions in control cabinets, without control cabinets directly at the machine, as well as for use in hazardous areas. All products can be integrated in the automation system via PROFIBUS or PROFINET.

   

ET 200 systems for the control cabinet

SIMATIC ET 200 I/O systems for use in control cabinets

I/O systems of the latest generation

SIMATIC ET 200SP and ET 200MP are part of the new generation of automation devices that fully exploit the benefits of a new level of integration offered by the TIA Portal engineering framework, the S7-1200 and S7-1500 controllers, and the latest generation of basic and comfort panels. Especially for the process industry, the ET 200SP HA offers a modern customized solution in combination with the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system.

 

Tested and proven I/O systems 

For existing system configurations as well as for special applications in combination with SIMATIC S7-300/400 controllers and for use in hazardous environments, the ET 200M and ET 200iSP I/O systems offer a proven automation solution with the TIA Portal and the SIMATIC PCS 7 process control system.

ET 200 systems without control cabinets

The small, rugged SIMATIC ET 200 systems with a high IP65/67 degree of protection can be used in harsh industrial environments and directly at the machine. They are ideally suited for the rapid and flexible set-up of distributed automation solutions. SIMATIC ET 200 systems for use outside of control cabinets are shock-, dirt-, and water-resistant and available in a range of versions, from a compact block I/O to a multifunctional modular system. You save on supplementary components and space, reduce your cabling requirements, and benefit from extremely short response times.

I/O systems for heating applications

SIPLUS HCS – I/O systems for heating applications

The reliable and pinpoint control as well as precise maintenance of temperatures is crucial to quality in many manufacturing processes. SIPLUS HCS (heating control systems) from Siemens, the industrial heating control systems for electrical heating elements, have been doing this reliably, precisely, and with increasing intelligence for more than 25 years. SIPLUS HCS not only reduces the time, costs, and resources associated with project planning, commissioning, operation, and maintenance by as much as 70 percent compared to a solution with individual components, it also improves the heating process – for less downtime and higher product quality.

System overview

SIMATIC ET 200 – the I/O system for use inside and outside control cabinets

The modular design allows the ET 200 systems to be easily scaled and expanded in small steps: digital and analog inputs/outputs, CPUs with full S7-1500 functionality, safety technology, motor starters, frequency converters, and various technology modules.

Flexible solutions with an IP20 degree of protection

Requirements for today’s I/O systems are becoming increasingly complex. SIMATIC ET 200MP for central control cabinets and SIMATIC ET 200SP for decentral switch boxes raise the bar in terms of usability, scalability, and functionality. The modular design allows to scale and extend ET 200 systems easily and in small steps. Functionality of the modules is consistently scalable and comprises basic functionality all the way to high features and high speed.

 

Rugged and powerful in IP 65/67 

The SIMATIC ET 200 with a high IP 65/67 degree of protection are small, rugged, and powerful. They are ideally suited for use in harsh industrial environments, directly at the machine. The time-saving set-up enables the highly flexible implementation of distributed automation solutions, even outside factory buildings in outdoor areas.

 

Fast, easy and safe configuration with TIA Selection Tool

Configure your I/O station easily and directly in the TIA Selection Tool! Error-free configuration without expert knowledge, enabled through intelligent configurators and selection assistants. Versions for desktop and cloud usage enables working across teams at highest flexibility.

ET 200 system features – integrated added value

Our SIMATIC ET 200 modular I/O system offers you numerous integrated functions and features that enable simple solutions even with complex machine and system concepts. You can obtain an overview here.

Standard and safety technology in one system

Within the ET 200 stations, a mix of standard and failsafe modules can be used, and standard and failsafe solutions can be implemented via the same controller. Failsafe shutdowns up to SIL2 can also be achieved cost-effectively using standard modules, such as through the use of ET 200SP F-PM-E.

Integrated technological and measurement functions

In addition to various technology modules, regular modules with integrated technology functions can be used to solve technological and measurement functions. For example, some of the high feature and high speed versions of the modules have integrated meters or pulse width modulation. This ensures good scalability of price and function. Integrated system functions, such as oversampling, provide for high performance in data recording.

Maximum industrial suitability due to extremely rugged design

The standard products from the SIMATIC family offer maximum quality and ruggedness for use in industrial environments. SIPLUS extreme as well as the ET 200pro, ET 200AL, and ET 200eco PN product families in the IP67 degree of protection are available for more challenging and extreme conditions.

Flexible assignment of data to multiple controllers

The ET 200 supports the efficient exchange of data between multiple controllers. With the shared device function, different controllers can use the modules of an ET 200 station, thus saving space. Modules with the MSI (multiple shared input) or MSO (multiple share output) feature give multiple controllers simultaneous read access to their switching states.

Fast troubleshooting thanks to integrated system diagnostics

The ET 200’s diverse and detailed diagnostics enable fast and easy troubleshooting. Configuration of the diagnostics is integrated in the system in a user-friendly manner and activated with a single click. The new, uniform display concept makes it possible for plain text error messages to be displayed identically in the TIA Portal, on the HMI, in the web server, and on the SIMATIC S7-1500 display. 

Save engineering effort with configuration control

Configuration control (option handling) can be used to easily generate customer-specific versions of a previously configured maximum setup without necessary project adaptations, which increases flexibility and saves costs.
