PROFIBUS DP
The Control Unit can communicate with the following components via the PROFIBUS DP
interfaces:
Table 2-3
Components on PROFIBUS DP
Component Function
Programming device (PG/PC) ... configures, parameterizes, programs, and tests with the "SIMO‐
TION SCOUT" engineering system (ES)
SIMATIC HMI device ... is used for operating and monitoring functions. This is not an essen‐
tial requirement for the operation of a Control Unit
Other controllers (e.g. SIMO‐
TION or SIMATIC)
… e.g. higher-level controller (plant controller); modular machine con‐
cepts with multiple controllers, distributed across individual machine
modules.
Distributed I/O systems
SIMATIC ET 200MP Modular I/O system for cabinet installation and high channel densities
in
the SIMATIC S7‑1500 packaging system. SIMATIC ET 200MP per‐
mits the shortest bus cycle times and fastest response time even with
large volumes of data.
SIMATIC ET 200M Modular I/O system for cabinet installation and high channel densities
in the SIMATIC S7‑300 packaging system.
SIMATIC ET 200SP Finely scalable I/O system for cabinet installation; ET 200SP features
a
single-cable and multi-cable connection with push‑in terminals, com‐
pact dimensions, high performance, and low part variety.
SIMATIC ET 200S Finely scalable I/O system for cabinet configuration and particularly
time-critical applications; including motor starters, safety technology
and individual grouping of load groups.
SIMATIC ET 200AL Modular, distributed I/O system with compact I/O modules in IP65/67;
simple
installation in all mounting positions even in small spaces; front
and transverse screw fastenings on flat surfaces or on aluminum sup‐
porting channels; flexible connection to PROFINET or PROFIBUS or
simple integration in SIMATIC ET 200SP.
SIMATIC ET 200pro Modular I/O system with IP65/67 degree of protection for machine-re‐
lated applications with no cabinet; with features such as compact de‐
signs, integrated PROFIsafe safety technology, PROFINET connec‐
tion and live module replacement.
SIMATIC ET 200eco I/O system with IP65/67 degree of protection for machine-related ap‐
plications
with no cabinet, and with flexible and fast ECOFAST or M12
connection methods.
Other PROFIBUS I/O
Gateways
● DP/AS-Interface link 20E and DP/AS-Interface link Advanced for
the PROFIBUS DP gateway to AS-Interface
●
DP/DP coupler for connecting two PROFIBUS DP networks
Drive interfaces
● ADI4 (Analog Drive Interface for 4 axes) for connection of drives
with analog ± 10 V setpoint interface or for external encoders
●
IM174 (Interface Module for 4 axes) for connection of drives with
analog ± 10 V setpoint interface, for external sensors, or for
connection of stepper drives with pulse-direction interface
