I/O module with Profinet connection

The Simatic ET200S product family of distributed I/O devices has been expanded with the addition of the IM151-8 PN/DP CPU interface module with CPU functionality to handle control tasks and communications functions via Profinet. The module is also available in the fail-safe version, IM151-8 PN/DP F-CPU.

The module enables users to implement distributed structures on Profinet, with a communication interface with three ports for linear bus topologies and programming device functions onboard. As a Profinet I/O controller, the module supports the real-time properties RT (Real Time) and IRT (Isochronous Real Time) and can control up to 128 I/O devices.

The fail-safe version can be expanded centrally and in distributed configurations with standard and fail-safe modules. Fail-safe communication is handled on the basis of PROFIsafe. The module is certified up to SIL 3 in accordance with IEC 61508, for use up to SIL 3 in accordance with EN62061 and PL e in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1.
