Area of application
The SIMATIC ET 200AL distributed I/O system is especially well-suited for the following
application areas:
• Where space is limited
• Moving applications
• Assembly and handling technology
Thanks to its scalable construction, you have the option to precisely customize its
configuration to your on site needs.
The SIMATIC ET 200AL distributed I/O system is designed in IP65/IP67 degree of protection.
The I/O modules are suited for distributed use indoors on a machine or assembly line.
You can adapt the cable routing optimally to the machine requirements. The combination of
a line topology, such as PROFINET IO and ET connection, and the star topology of IO-Link
make this easy to implement.
Configuration
The IO-Link I/O modules of the SIMATIC ET 200AL distributed I/O system are operated on any
IO-Link master.
A cable with M12 plug-in connection is used for the communication and power supply.
