Preface

Purpose of the manual
This manual supplements the ET 200S Distributed I/O System manual. It
describes all the functions of the IM 151-7 CPU interface module. The manual
does not deal with general ET 200S functions. You will find these in the ET 200X
Distributed I/O System manual (see also the Section "Integration in the information
landscape").
The information contained in this manual and in the ET 200S Distributed I/O
System manual will enable you to operate the ET 200S with the IM 151-7 CPU
interface module as an I slave on the PROFIBUS-DP or in an MPI network. The
master functionality in combination with the DP master module is also described.
Required level of knowledge
Knowledge of the field of automation engineering is required to understand the
manual.
Knowledge on how to use computers or other PC equipment (e.g. programming
devices) under the Windows 95/98/2000 and NT operating system is also required.
You should also be familiar with the STEP 7 basic software. Refer to the
"Programming with STEP 7 V5.x" manual.
