Siemens SIMOTION User Manual

2.2 I/O modules approved for SIMOTION
Approved I/O modules
Preferred peripherals for use with SIMOTION C:
● Centralized peripherals:
SIMATIC S7-300 I/O modules
● Distributed I/O systems for PROFIBUS and PROFINET:
– SIMATIC ET 200M (distributed implementation of SIMATIC S7-300 I/O modules):
The modular I/O system for control cabinet installation and high channel density.
– SIMATIC ET 200S:
The bit-modular I/O system for control cabinet installation including motor starters, safety
technology and individual grouping of load groups.
– SIMATIC ET 200eco (only for PROFIBUS):
The compact, economical I/O system in IP 67 degree of protection for machine-level
use without a control cabinet with flexible and fast ECOFAST or M12 connection system.
– SIMATIC ET 200pro
New modular I/O system in IP65/66/67 degree of protection for machine-level use
without a control cabinet; with new features such as small frame size, integrated
PROFIsafe safety technology, PROFINET connection and hot swapping of modules.
● Other PROFIBUS DP I/O:
– ADI 4 (Analog Drive Interface)
For the connection of drives with analog ±10 V setpoint interface.
– IM174 (interface module for 4 axes)
For the connection of drives with analog ±10 V setpoint interface, external encoders or
the connection of stepper drives with pulse-direction interface.
Note
Please note that not all modules of the above-mentioned I/O or I/O systems 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. insertion and removal under voltage,
etc.) are not supported by SIMOTION for the SIMATIC 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:
http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/de/11886029
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)
