Features and benefits of the ET 200pro EtherNet/IP module
The following table lists the features and benefits of the ET 200pro EtherNet/IP module:
Finely-graduated modular design:
• 4/8/16 channel electronic modules
• Power modules
• Integrated motor starters
• Function-oriented, cost-optimized station design
• Considerable reduction in outlay for configuration
and documentation
• Space savings due to arbitrary arrangement of
the modules
Extensive range of electronic modules
Broad area of application
Communication capacity, system-integrated
motor starter: direct and reversing starter to
7.5 kW
PLC inputs and outputs, terminal blocks, circuit
breakers and contactors in a plug-in module save
space and the effort involved in wiring
Permanent wiring due to the separation of the
connection module and electronic components
• Prewiring possible
• Module replacement during operation of the
ET 200pro EtherNet/IP module ("hot swapping")
Individual connection of power modules to
common potential
• Individual formation of potential groups
• Simple load interruption
Robust structure for rough industrial condi-
tions (10 g vibration resistance)
High operating reliability when mounted directly on
the machine, high availability
Reduced effort required for wiring
Power bus up to 25 A for motor starters
Minimization of wiring in 400 V range
M8, M12, and M23 connections A change in terminal connection method is not nec-
• 2- and 3-wire connection, or
• 2-, 3- and 4-wire connection
Optimal selection on grounds of space and cost
IP65, IP66, and IP67 connection modules
A change in connection method is not necessary
Automatic coding of the I/O modules
Quick and reliable module replacement
Adequate space for clear identification
With motor starters up to safety category 4 in
Saves money on costly safety equipment
