15.4 Mechanical and climatic ambient conditions
Operating conditions
The S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed I/O system is suitable for use in
weather-proof, fixed locations. The operating conditions exceed requirements according to
DIN IEC 60721-3-3:
● Class 3M3 (mechanical requirements)
● Class 3K3 (climatic requirements)
Test of mechanical ambient conditions
The table below provides important information with respect to the type and scope of the test
of ambient mechanical conditions.
Table 15- 8 Test of mechanical ambient conditions
Condition tested Test Standard
Vibration Vibration test according to
IEC 60068-2-6 (Sinus)
Shock Shock, tested according to
IEC 60068-2-27
Continuous shock Shock, tested according to
IEC 60068-2-27
Reduction of vibrations
If your S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed I/O system is exposed to severe
shock or vibration, take appropriate measures to reduce the acceleration or the amplitude.
We recommend the installation of the S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP distributed I/O
system on damping materials (for example, rubber-bonded metal mounting).
