Creating input and output modules and a server module for ET 200SP
Introduction
In the following section, you will create input and output modules for the ET 200SP.
Note
You need the server mod
ule to operate the input and output modules. These modules will
fail if the server module is missing.
Maximum configuration per potential group
The number of I/O modules that can be used per potential group depends on the following
factors:
1. Total power requirement of all I/O modules operated on this potential group
2. Total power requirement of all loads connected externally to this potential group
The sum of the total power calculated from 1. and 2. cannot exceed the current carrying
capacity of the employed BaseUnit and the load supply voltage.
Set the "Potential group" parameter for a module as follows:
Potential group Use potential group of the
left module (default setting)
if the total power consumption of all modules from the left + power
consumption of the module is less than the current carrying
Enable new
potential group
if the total power consumption of all modules from the left + power
consumption of the module is greater than the current carrying
You can find additional information on potential groups in the module manuals such as
SIMATIC ET 200SP DI 8x24VDC HF digital input module
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/DE/view/en/66912542).
1. Open the device view of ET 200SP.
2. Open the "DI" and "DI16 x DC24V ST" folders in the hardware catalog.
3. Drag-and-drop input module "6ES7 131-6BH00-0BA0" to slot 1 of the rail.
4. Open the "DQ" and "DQ16 x DC24V / 0.5A ST" folders.
5. Drag-and-drop output module "6ES7 132-6BH00-0BA0" to slot 2 of the rail.
6. Open the "Server modules" folder.
7. Drag-and-drop the server module "6ES7 193-6PA00-0AA0" to slot 3 of the rail.
