Function
The mounting rail is the rack of the ET 200SP.
The ET 200SP is installed on the mounting rail.
The mounting rail is 35 mm high.
The (F) CPU:
Runs the user program. The F-CPU also
•
runs the safety program.
Can be used as an IO controller or I-Device
•
on PROFINET IO or as a standalone CPU
Links the ET 200SP to the IO devices or the
•
IO controller
Exchanges data with the I/O modules via the
•
backplane bus.
Additional CPU functions:
Communication via PROFIBUS DP (the CPU
•
can be used as a DP master or DP slave in
combination with the CM DP communication
module)
Integrated Web server
•
Integrated technology
•
Integrated trace functionality
•
Integrated system diagnostics
•
