1.1
What are distributed I/O systems?
Distributed I/O systems - area of application
When a system is set up, the inputs and outputs from and to the process are often located
centrally in the programmable logic controller.
If there are inputs and outputs at considerable distances from the programmable logic
controller, there may be long runs of cabling which are not immediately comprehensible, and
electromagnetic interference may impair reliability.
Distributed I/O systems are the ideal solution in such cases:
● The controller CPU is located centrally.
● The I/O systems (inputs and outputs) operate locally on a distributed basis.
● The high-performance EIP-200S Ethernet/IP Adapter network ensures that the controller
CPU and I/O systems communicate smoothly.

What is the ET 200S distributed I/O system?
The ET 200S distributed I/O system is a modular, extremely flexible I/O system with IP20
degree of protection.
Area of application
You can connect virtually any number of I/O modules in virtually any combination right next
to the interface module. This means you can adjust the configuration to suit local
requirements.
Depending on the interface module, each ET 200S system can consist of up to 63 modules -
for example, power modules, I/O modules, and motor starters.
The fact that motor starters can be integrated (switching and protecting any three-phase load
up to 7.5 kW) ensures that the ET 200S can be quickly adapted to suit virtually any process-
related use of your machine.
Terminal modules and electronic modules
The ET 200S distributed I/O system consists primarily of various passive terminal modules to
which you connect the electronic modules and motor starters.
The EIP-200S Ethernet/IP Adapter enables the ET 200S distributed I/O system to be
connected to the Ethernet/IP network.
