4.2.2 Configuration of the distributed I/O system SIMATIC ET 200MP
Configuration
The SIMATIC ET 200MP distributed I/O system is made up of the following components:
• Interface module (PROFINET or PROFIBUS)
• Digital and analog I/O modules
• Communications modules (point-to-point)
• Technology modules (counting, position detection, time-based IO)
• System power supply (optional)
The ET 200MP distributed I/O system is installed on a mounting rail like the S7-1500
automation system.
The I/O modules of the SIMATIC ET 200MP distributed I/O system can be used in a
decentralized configuration (with an ET 200MP interface module) or in a centralized
configuration (with an S7-1500 CPU).
