9.3.1  Application area 
The ASM 473 interface module is a MOBY module for SIMATIC S7. It can be plugged into 
the ET 200X distributed I/O station and DESINA. ET 200X is operated by the user over 
PROFIBUS DP V1. An S7-300 or S7-400 with integrated PROFIBUS DP connection can be 
used as the controller.

9.3.2  Features 
ASM 473 supplements the SIMATIC S7 MOBY interface module ASM 475. The IP67 degree 
of protection means that it can be installed and operated in the process without the need for 
an additional protective housing. 
To operate the ASM 473, an ET 200X basic module BM 141/142 with the order number 
6ES7141-1BF11-0XB0 or 6ES7142-1BD21-0XB0 or a BM 143 is required. 
The MDS data are accessed by means of physical addressing of the MDS. 
For operation in a SIMATIC S7, the function FC 45 is available. The hardware of the ASM 
473 is configured with an object manager (OM) that is integrated in the SIMATIC Manager. 
Other features: 
●  Up to 7 ASM 473 interface modules can be operated simultaneously in an ET 200X 
station. 
●  Any other I/O modules from the ET 200X spectrum can be operated with the ASM 473.
