Highest flexibility and strongest performance
The innovative I/O system SIMATIC ET 200SP convinces through maximum usability, particularly compact design, and impressive performance.
Thanks to a smart system concept, the range of ET 200SP system components has steadily improved and widened in recent years - leaving nothing to be desired. The range covers the most diverse central modules in standard or safety design, standard and fail-safe I/O modules and interface modules, all the way to communication modules for diverse bus systems, motor starters, and technology modules for a wide range of applications such as weighing and dosing, energy management, metering and measuring, and motion control.
The compact design and straightforward configuration, system integration, assembly, and servicing remain key factors.
SIMATIC ET 200SP, a distributed I/O which fulfills every possible requirement.
The multi-functional SIMATIC ET 200SP distributed I/O system
Modest dimensions combined with a substantial product range: These are precisely the supposedly contradictory elements that make the SIMATIC ET 200SP distributed I/O system so attractive.
The IO system fulfills the requirements of IP20 degree of protection and is designed for installation in a control cabinet. The station configuration is remarkably simple. Despite some modules exhibiting a width of only 20 mm, the push-in terminals permit effortless wiring. The new arrangement of the spring releases also allows effortless detachment of the connections. And in the event that a complete module requires replacing, this can also be achieved during ongoing operation as the ET 200SP facilitates hot swapping. Consequently, several modules can also be removed and replaced simultaneously. Only these modules are rendered ineffective during replacement rather than the entire station.
The product range for the ET 200SP is likewise highly impressive, enabling a multitude of application possibilities for this IO system. This begins with the ET 200 CPUs, covering the medium performance range and featuring the same functionality as the corresponding CPUs from the SIMATIC S7-1500 series. Safety-related communication may also be established as required, for example, with diverse safety modules and of course the respective CPUs for use up to SIL 3.
SIMATIC ET 200SP Features:
- Extremely compact dimensions and expandability of the station with up to 64 modules
- Extensive module range (including Safety, motor starters, energy meters, DALI, etc.)
- Module replacement during operation
- Channel-precise diagnostic functions
- High-speed communication over PROFINET and isochronous backplane bus
Motor starters in bit-modular design are also included in the ET 200 range. These provide reliable protection for 1-phase and 3-phase motors up to 5.5 kW against overload and short-circuit. They are available as both standard and safety versions and are a perfect fit for the streamlined structural concept of the ET 200SP IO system with an extremely compact installation width of only 30 mm.
If a lighting control is to be installed in an automation concept on the other hand, a special DALI module is recommended which can be integrated in an ET 200SP station and can actuate up to 64 lamps.
But that's not all! If a weighing application is to be featured in your plant, a space-saving, high-precision SIWAREX WP351 module is also available for precisely this purpose.
Bearing in mind that the requirements of the energy management in a plant are now becoming a major topic throughout today’s production environment, you can be no better prepared than with the SIMATIC ET 200SP: The AI Energy Meter is designed for use at the machine level. This enables the user to configure the data required for his application from more than 200 different electrical measured and energy values, thus acquiring transparency of the energy requirement for individual components of his production plant. Consumption forecasts can then be compiled from these measured values and the efficiency determined in order to derive conclusions for load management and servicing.
SIMATIC ET 200SP will, therefore, fulfill every possible requirement. A remarkable system concept has ensured that the range of ET 200SP system components has undergone continuous refinement and expansion over the years, thus opening up numerous application possibilities in the most diverse industrial sectors.
SIMATIC ET 200SP motor starters offer reliable protection against overload and short-circuit
The SIMATIC ET 200SP distributed I/O system includes an extensive range of diverse components. Motor starters play a key role in this regard and are an integral component of this I/O system.
They are available in standard and safety versions and provide reliable protection for 1-phase and 3-phase motors against overload and short circuit. With an installation width of only 30 mm, the motor starters are compact and deliver high-performance with four setting ranges up to 5.5 kW.
The ET 200SP motor starters can be operated with highly efficient IE3/IE4 motors and are suited, for example, for 1-phase motors in pump applications or for 3-phase motors as secondary drives in conveyor technology. In addition to many other applications, they can also be used to safely isolate the drive from the main network.
Effortless control of lighting with SIMATIC ET 200 DALI
With its CM 1 x DALI electronic module, the SIMATIC ET 200SP IO system now offers the possibility of controlling lighting applications directly from the SIMATIC user program by way of the DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) lighting control bus. This enables straightforward and low-cost integration of lighting controls in automation engineering.
Up to 64 lamps and 63 sensors can be connected for each module, however, multiple DALI modules can be inserted in each ET 200SP station as required. Lighting scenarios can be established almost arbitrarily in linear, star or tree topologies, with simple wiring comprising a 2-wire line protected against polarity reversal. A DALI bus power supply providing up to 160 mA is also integrated in the module.
The DALI module is particularly suited for the lighting control in places like:
- Tunnels
- Production halls
- Logistics facilities
- Ships
Space-saving and high-precision SIWAREX WP351 weighing module
Producing precise mixtures and meticulous filling, checking, or dosing – the SIWAREX WP351 can guarantee all this and more. With a mere 20 mm in width and 65 mm in height, this is one of the smallest electronic weighing systems on the market. Intelligent firmware and numerous dosing algorithms ensure maximum precision and simultaneously relieve the control. The sampling rate of 1000 Hz and a response time of < 1 ms ensure the utmost accuracy and repeatability for the actuation of dosing elements. A module-internal web server can be used for commissioning and service, with additional assistance provided by a sample application and a software function block.
The SIWAREX WP351 is integrated in the SIMATIC ET 200SP IO system and can therefore also be connected to other controllers.
Potential applications could include automatic filling and check weighers with calibration capability or even platform scales and container weighing machines.
Energy and power consumption metering with the Simatic ET 200SP Energy Meter
The energy meter modules from the ET 200SP series are designed for use at the machine level and provide a wide range of possibilities to measure energy and power consumption.
Even the standard modules allow configuration of the necessary data from more than 200 measured values, as well as the execution of energy management. Consumption forecasts can then be compiled from these measured values and the efficiency determined in order to derive conclusions for load management and servicing and ultimately, this can then be applied to optimize the energy consumption of a plant.
The measured values recorded by the Energy Meter can also be used for condition-monitoring tasks such as detecting damage to machines and bearings at an early stage.
High-Feature module variants go even further. With these versions, more than 500 measured energy values can be recorded and evaluated, and a dynamic changeover is possible between the "Network analysis" operating modes and the energy meter at runtime without any loss of data.
