PROFIBUS DP
SIMOTION D410 DP can communicate via PROFIBUS DP interface to the following 
components:     
Table 2-2
Components on PROFIBUS DP
Component Function
Programming device (PG/PC) ... configures, sets parameters, programs and tests using the 
SIMOTION SCOUT Engineering System (ES).
SIMATIC HMI device ... is used for operator control and monitoring functions. It is not 
absolutely essential for running SIMOTION D410.
Drive units with 
PROFIBUS 
DP interface (e.g. 
CU310 DP)
... convert speed setpoints into signals for controlling the motor and 
supply the power required to operate the motors.
Can also be operated as an isochronous slave on the PROFIBUS DP.
Other controllers (e.g. 
SIMOTION or SIMATIC)
 
Distributed I/O systems
SIMATIC ET 200M Modular I/O system for control cabinet installation and high channel 
densities.
SIMATIC ET 200S Finely scalable I/O system for control cabinet installation and 
particularly time-critical applications; including motor starters, safety 
technology and individual grouping of load groups.
SIMATIC ET 200pro Modular I/O system with IP65/IP67 rating for machine-related 
applications with no control cabinet; with new features such as more 
compact designs, integrated PROFIsafe safety technology, 
PROFINET connection and live module replacement.
SIMATIC ET 200eco I/O system with IP65/IP67 rating for machine-related applications with 
no control cabinet, with a flexible and fast connection system in 
ECOFAST or M12.
Other PROFIBUS I/O
Gateways ● DP/AS-Interface link 20E and DP/AS-Interface link Advanced for 
the PROFIBUS DP gateway to AS-Interface
●
