Component Function
Other controllers (e.g.
SIMOTION or SIMATIC)
.. e.g. higher-level controller (plant controller); modular machine
concepts with multiple controllers, distributed across individual
machine modules.
Distributed I/O systems
SIMATIC ET 200M Modular I/O system for control cabinet installation and high channel
density
SIMATIC ET 200S Finely scalable I/O system for control cabinet configuration and
particularly time-critical applications; including motor starters, safety
technology and individual grouping of load groups
SIMATIC ET 200pro Modular I/O system with IP65/67 degree of protection for machine-
related applications with no control cabinet; with features such as
compact designs, integrated PROFIsafe safety technology,
PROFINET connection and live module replacement.
SIMATIC ET 200eco I/O system with IP65/67 degree of protection for cabinet-free use close
to the machine 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
Drive units with
PROFIBUS
DP interface (e.g.
SINAMICS S120)
... 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.
Teleservice adapter Remote diagnostics
Ethernet
The control unit can communicate with the following components via the Ethernet interfaces
or be embedded in an automation environment:
Table 2-3 Components on the Ethernet
Component Function
Programming device (PG/PC) ... configures, parameterizes, programs, and tests with the
"SIMOTION SCOUT" engineering system (ES)
Master computer ... communicates with other devices via UDP, TCP/IP
SIMATIC HMI device ... is used for operating and monitoring functions. This is not an
essential requirement for the operation of a control unit.
