Basics

Introduction
All modules of the S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed I/O system are open
equipment. This means that you may only install this system in housings, cabinets or
electrical operating rooms that are located indoors. The housings, cabinets and electrical
operating rooms must guarantee protection against electric shock and spread of fire. The
requirements for mechanical strength must also be met. The housings, cabinets, and
electrical operating rooms must not be accessible without a key or tool. Personnel with access
must have been trained or authorized.
Installation position
The S7-1500 automation system / ET 200MP distributed I/O system is designed for the
following mounting positions:
• Horizontal mounting position for ambient temperatures up to 60° C
• Vertical mounting position (CPU is down) for ambient temperatures up to 40° C
More information can be found in chapter Mechanical and climatic ambient conditions
(Page 350).
Mounting rail
You can mount the following components on the mounting rails alongside the
S7-1500/ET 200MP modules:
• Modules from the S7-1200 and ET 200SP range
• Terminals
• Circuit breakers
• Small contactors
• Similar components
These components can influence the installation dimensions for the cable duct.
Modules can be mounted right to the outer edge of the mounting rail.
The mounting rails are available in various lengths. You order the mounting rails using the
online catalog or the online ordering system. You can find the available lengths and article
