The trend in industrial automation is
toward placing the distributed I/O nearer
to the process or machine. At the same
time, there is a requirement for distributed
I/O devices that offer a higher level of
automation intelligence, so that a truly
distributed automation can be achieved.
The SIMATIC ET 200 series is available in a host of different sizes and
versions:
• modular I/O systems with low to high channel density
• for installation in cabinets with IP20 protection
• for cabinet-free installation directly at the process with IP65/67
protection
• for installation in hazardous areas with atmospheres containing
dust or gas
In addition, various modules are available that can be integrated directly
into the distributed I/O system:
• Motor starters
• Variable-speed drives
• Intelligent modules with control functionality for intelligent
distributed automation solutions
• Pneumatic modules
• Various technology modules and much more
Another positive point: The devices offer communication options via
PROFIBUS or PROFINET. In addition, special versions are available for failsafe,
redundant and intrinsically safe applications which are optimized
for energy consumption.
The distributed I/O system SIMATIC ET 200 offers you the right solution for
every application – tailored to your requirements!
