SIMATIC ET 200eco PN
New generation of the extremely rugged block I/O
The SIMATIC ET 200eco PN is a compact block I/O with PROFINET connection in protection class IP 65/67 for cabinet-free installation directly on the machine. Thanks to its die-cast zinc housing, SIMATIC ET 200eco PN is mechanically very rugged and resistant to vibration, dust, oil, and humidity. The new, fully revised SIMATIC ET 200eco PN M12-L series offers a new and compact housing, higher current carrying capacity, and many new functions.
SIMATIC ET 200eco PN M12-L MultiFieldbus
Thanks to the MultiFieldbus function, SIMATIC ET 200eco PN M12-L can be used in applications that previously utilized only Modbus TCP or EtherNet/IP. With the SIMATIC ET 200eco PN M12-L, IP65/67 modules can be directly integrated in Ethernet-based field buses for the purpose of connecting controllers from different manufacturers.
Maximum ruggedness for extremely challenging environmental conditions
The new model series draws on familiar and proven functions. With its ruggedness, high protection class (IP67), and small footprint, the ET 200eco PN is especially suited for use at the machine level, especially in the machine building and automotive industries. This makes it a seamless supplement to the modular ET 200pro and ET 200AL I/O families.
Powerful, robust digital block IO with M12-L connector
The SIMATIC ET 200eco PN M12-L portfolio consists of five compact, rugged digital IO devices and an IO-Link master. The parameterizable devices cover an extensive range of functionalities. The M12-L-coded plugs for the power supply enable a higher current carrying capacity and therefore significantly longer cable lengths in the field with no additional supply cables.
Digital input devices record digital sensor signals in the system and forward them to the controller.
The devices offer channel-based wire break diagnosis, single-channel or channel-group short-circuit recognition in the encoder supply, and supply voltage monitoring.
Parameters can be individually set for single or double assignment of 8-channel devices.
Digital outputs switch the actuator voltage and forward the switching signal from the controller to the system.
The devices offer channel-based wire break diagnosis, channel-based short-circuit recognition, and supply and load voltage monitoring.
Parameters can be individually set for single or double assignment of 8-channel devices.
The channels of the IO device can be individually configured as an input or output.
As an input, they record digital sensor signals in the system and forward them to the controller. As an output, they switch the actuator voltage and forward the switching signal from the controller to the system.
The devices offers channel-based wire break diagnosis, channel-based short-circuit recognition in the outputs, channel group-based short-circuit recognition in the encoder supply, and supply and load voltage monitoring.
IO-Link allows the easy integration of sensors and actuators from different manufacturers.
The IO-Link Master as per IO-Link specification V1.1 comes with an automatic backup function for device parameters, master backup, re-parameterization of devices in operation, and extensive diagnostic information. IO-Link configuration can be performed using a GSD file or S7-PCT.
MultiFieldbus function for Ethernet-based field buses
MultiFieldbus is the right solution when an application is implemented with different controllers (field buses) and the I/O system will continue to be used without modification. The MultiFieldbus function for SIMATIC ET 200eco PN M12‑L supports the PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus TCP protocols.
This means that it can be used on a wide range of Ethernet controllers and is the ideal communication solution for the application areas mentioned below that have special requirements in terms of the degree of protection (IP65/67) and robustness as well as control cabinet-free installation:
- Applications which, due to end user specifications, are implemented with different controllers (field buses) where the I/O system will continue to be used without modification
- Applications that previously only used controllers for Modbus TCP or EtherNet/IP
Configuration on EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP is performed via the MultiFieldbus Configuration Tool (MFCT).
The new MultiFieldbus function is already integrated in all SIMATIC ET 200eco PN M12-L delivered from February 2022. M12-L modules delivered earlier can be retrofitted free of charge via software update.
Compact block I/O with PROFINET connection – still available
The SIMATIC ET 200eco PN is a compact block I/O with PROFINET connection in protection class IP 65/67 for cabinet-free installation directly on the machine. Thanks to its fully sealed die-cast zinc housing, the ET 200eco PN is mechanically very rugged and resistant to vibration, dust, oil, and humidity. Since it was launched in 2008, the SIMATIC ET 200eco PN devices with PROFINET connection have set the standard for cabinet-free installation directly on the machine. Devices from the previous product generation are still available.
The Digital Input/Output device channels can be individually configured as an input or output.
As an input, they record digital sensor signals in the system and forward them to the controller. As an output, they switch the actuator voltage and forward the switching signal from the controller to the system.
The digital input/output devices offer channel-based wire break diagnosis, channel-based short-circuit recognition in the outputs, channel group-based short-circuit recognition in the encoder supply, and supply and load voltage monitoring.
Using the failsafe input/output device makes it possible to satisfy safety-oriented application requirements. The safety functions needed for failsafe operation are integrated into the failsafe device. This allows up to eight (up to PL d/SIL 2) or four (up to PL e/SIL 3) sensors in and three actuators (up to PL e/SIL 3) out to be connected.
Communication with the failsafe controllers is via PROFIsafe. In addition, F-addresses are stored in an electronic storage element (E coding plug), which makes it easy to replace modules if a spare is needed.
Analog inputs record process signals like pressure and temperature and forward them in digitalized form (16-bit format) to the controller. They’re suitable for measuring voltage, current, and resistance and for connecting resistance thermometers and thermocouples. Analog outputs convert a 16-bit digital value into a current or a voltage and output this to the process.
IO-Link allows the easy integration of sensors and actuators from different manufacturers.
The IO-Link Master per IO-Link specification V1.1 comes with an automatic backup function for device parameters, master backup, re-parameterization of devices in operation, and extensive diagnostic information. IO-Link configuration can be performed using a GSD file or S7-PCT.
Product selection and configurator for automation technology
Thanks to the use of intelligent configurators and selection assistants, the TIA Selection Tool makes error-free configuration possible without expert knowledge. The tool is available in a desktop or cloud version, enabling you to work across team boundaries with maximum flexibility. The combination of TIA Portal and the TIA Selection Tool ensures that your planning and engineering processes are consistent.
Security information
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions only form one element of such a concept. For more information about industrial security, please visit.
