1.3  Approved components for SIMOTION D 
 
 
Note 
Modules and devices approved for SIMOTION D are listed in the SIMOTION Motion Control 
System PM 10 Catalog and the SINAMICS Catalog. 
For catalog order numbers, refer to the list of references. 
 
 
 
Note 
Note that not all modules in the ET 200 I/O family are approved for SIMOTION. Moreover, 
system-related functional differences can come into play when these I/O or I/O systems are 
used on SIMOTION vs. on SIMATIC. For example, special process-control functions (e.g., 
HART modules, etc.) are not supported by SIMOTION for the ET 200M distributed I/O 
system. 
A detailed, regularly updated list of the I/O modules approved for use with SIMOTION, as 
well as notes on their use, can be found on the Internet at:

In addition to the I/O modules approved for SIMOTION, all certified standard slaves can, in 
principle, be connected to SIMOTION if they support the following: 
•  Cyclic data traffic (DP-V0) and, possibly, 
•  Acyclic data traffic (DP-V1) or 
•  Isochronous data traffic (DP-V2) 
These modules are integrated via the GSD file of the device's manufacturer. 
 
 
Note 
Please note that in individual cases further boundary conditions must be fulfilled in order to 
integrate a standard slave into SIMOTION. Thus, a few modules require "driver blocks" , 
e.g., in the form of function blocks, that permit (or simplify) integration. 
For modules approved for use with SIMOTION (e.g., SIMATIC S7-300 FM 350-1 module, 
etc.), these driver blocks are included: 
•  In the function library (up to V3.2, SP1) 
•  In the command library of the “SIMOTION SCOUT” engineering system (V4.0 and higher)
