Grouping Modules For The Configuration - Siemens Simatic ET 200S Operating Instructions Manual

6.2.1.2

Grouping modules for the configuration

You can only combine digital modules or motor starters with useful data amounting to less
than 1 byte.
Introduction
The ET 200S has a maximum address area of:
• IM151-1 BASIC: up to 88 bytes for inputs and 88 bytes for outputs.
• IM151-1 COMPACT: up to 100 bytes for inputs and 100 bytes for outputs.
• IM151-1 STANDARD (up to 6ES7151-1AA03-0AB0), IM151-1 FO STANDARD (up to
• IM151-1 STANDARD (from 6ES7151-1AA04-0AB0), IM151-1 HIGH FEATURE: up to
To better utilize the available address space of the DP master and reduce data exchange
between the ET 200S and the DP master, you can group several electronic modules/load
feeders within one byte in the input or output area of the process image. This is achieved by
the systematic arrangement and designation of the ET 200S electronic modules/motor
starters.
A list of the address space requirements for the individual modules is to be found in the
appendix.
You can combine the following device types within one byte:
• Digital input modules
• Digital output modules
• Motor starters (direct starters and reversing starters)
Procedure
1. Integrate the GSD file in your configuration software.
2. Configure the ET 200S setup, adhering to the following rules:

6ES7151-1AB02-0AB0) up to 128 bytes for inputs and 128 bytes for outputs.
244 bytes for inputs and 244 bytes for outputs.
Result: You can identify combinable devices in the hardware catalog of your configuration
software by the fact that they are twice present. The devices differ only by a "*" in the
name.
– The modules that you can group within a byte must be of the same module type (see
above).
– Interface module IM151-1 STANDARD, 6ES7151-1AA00-0AB0 with product version 1
to 4:The devices that can be combined within one byte must be inserted directly next
to one another. Only power modules are permitted between the electronic modules.
Power modules do not open a new byte.
– After Interface module IM151-1 BASIC; IM151-1 STANDARD, 6ES7151-1AA00-0AB0

HIGH FEATURE:Other devices may be connected between modules that can be
combined.
– There can be a total of no more than 8 channels (1 byte).
