16.5 Mechanical and climatic ambient conditions
Operating conditions
The S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed I/O system is suitable for use in
weather-proof, fixed locations. The operating conditions are based on the requirements of
IEC 61131-2:2017.
• OTH4 (S7-1500 CPUs: For the minimum ambient temperature, see the Climatic ambient
temperatures table)
• STH4 (S7-1500 CPUs: Minimum ambient temperature -40 °C, minimum relative humidity
5%)
• TTH4 (S7-1500 CPUs: Minimum relative humidity 5%)
Test of mechanical ambient conditions
The table below provides important information with respect to the type and scope of the
test of ambient mechanical conditions.

Direction of shock: 1000 shocks each in (+/-) direction, along each of the 3
mutually perpendicular axes
Reduction of vibrations
If your S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed I/O system is exposed to severe
shock or vibration, take appropriate measures to reduce the acceleration or the amplitude.
We recommend the installation of the S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed I/O
system on damping materials (for example, rubber-bonded metal mounting).
