Function
.. e.g. higher-level controller (plant controller); modular machine
concepts with multiple controllers, distributed across individual
machine modules.
Modular I/O system for control cabinet installation and high channel
density
Finely scalable I/O system for control cabinet configuration and
particularly time-critical applications; including motor starters, safety
technology and individual grouping of load groups
Modular I/O system with IP65/67 degree of protection for machine-
related applications with no control cabinet; with features such as
compact designs, integrated PROFIsafe safety technology,
PROFINET connection and live module replacement.
I/O system with IP65/67 degree of protection for cabinet-free use close
to the machine with flexible and fast ECOFAST or M12 connection
methods
● DP/AS-Interface link 20E and DP/AS-Interface link Advanced for
the PROFIBUS DP gateway to AS-Interface
● DP/DP coupler for connecting two PROFIBUS DP networks
● ADI4 (Analog Drive Interface for 4 axes) for connection of drives
with analog ± 10 V setpoint interface or for external encoders
● IM174 (Interface Module for 4 axes) for connection of drives with
analog ± 10 V setpoint interface, for external sensors, or for
connection of stepper drives with pulse-direction interface
... convert speed setpoints into signals for controlling the motor and
supply the power required to operate the motors.
Can also be operated as an isochronous slave on the PROFIBUS DP.
Remote diagnostics
Components on the Ethernet
Function
... configures, parameterizes, programs, and tests with the
"SIMOTION SCOUT" engineering system (ES)
... communicates with other devices via UDP, TCP/IP
... is used for operating and monitoring functions. This is not an
essential requirement for the operation of a control unit.
