Property Description Additional information
PROFINET interface
(X1)
The interface has an integrated 3-port switch.
Port 1 and port 2 are located on the optionally
pluggable BusAdapter. Port 3 is integrated in
the housing of the CPU. You can connect the
PROFINETIO to the CPU via the BusAdapter.
You will find information on the BusAdapters
supported by the CPU in the section Connect
ing (Page 21).
In addition to PROFINET basic functionality, the
interface also supports PROFINET IO RT (real-
time) and IRT (isochronous real-time).
PROFINETIO communication or real-time set
tings can be configured. The basic functionality
of PROFINET supports HMI communication,
communication with the configuration system,
communication with a higher-level network
(backbone, router, Internet) and communica
tion with another machine or automation cell.
Port 1 and port 2 can also be used as ring ports
for the configuration of redundant ring struc
tures in Ethernet.
Operation of the CPU
as
• IO controller
• I-device
• IO controller:
As an IO controller, the CPU addresses the
connected IO devices
• I‑device:
As an I-device (intelligent IO device), the
CPU is assigned to a higher-level IO control
ler and is used in the process as an intelli
gent pre-processing unit of sub-processes

PROFIBUS DP
DP master To use the ET 200SP CPU as a DP master, you
need the CPU and the optional communication
module CM DP (PROFIBUS interface X2). When
used as a DP master, the ET 200SP CPU
exchanges data with the connected DP slaves
via PROFIBUS DP.
Intelligent DP slave (I-
slave)
To use the ET 200SP CPU as an intelligent DP
slave (I-slave), you need the CPU and the
optional communication module CM D
(PROFIBUS interface X2). As an I-slave, the ET
200SPCPU is connected via PROFIBUS DP to a
higher-level DP master and exchanges data
with it.
