SIMATIC ET 200SP CPU - The Distributed Controllers

Compactness and versatility are combined in the ET 200SP CPUs for distributed controllers.  

For conventional and fail-safe applications, distributed controllers are the ideal choice, particularly in the medium performance range for machines with distributed intelligence or series machines with limited space. 

The CPUs share many of the same features, including the CPU, as the S7-1500 controller family's CPUs 1511 and 1513. As an illustration, consider the web server, complete symbolic programming, integrated security, integrated system diagnostics, and integrated trace function. 

The connection to a higher-level CPU can be completed in precisely the same manner as with a conventional interface module because of the I-Device capabilities. Because of its short signal and encoder wiring, little wiring effort, and noise-resistant design, the ET 200SP station stands out from the competition.  

PROFIenergy, isochronous manufacturing, configuration control (option handling), and DP master are among the extra features that the CPUs provide. 

There are two kinds of applications for it:  Standard CPUs and Failsafe CPUs.  

1. Standard CPUs: 

Standard CPUs - CPU 1510SP-1 PN and CPU 1512SP-1 PN  

For the SIMATIC ET 200SP CPU, two interface modules with an integrated CPU and PROFINET connection are provided. 

Connectivity adapters can be freely chosen with bus adapters thanks to the three integrated Ethernet ports. Within discrete manufacturing technology, the CPUs can function as distributed intelligence (PROFINET I-Device) or as a PROFINET IO controller. 

The 151*SP CPUs can be expanded decentral via PROFINET with any ET 200 system and with ET 200SP standard modules.  

The three ports on the integrated PROFINET IO IRT interface are intended to allow a line structure to be built in the plant via ports 1 and 2, as well as the connection of a PG/PC or HMI device via port 3.    

2. Failsafe CPUs 

Failsafe CPUs - CPU 1510SP F-1 PN and CPU 1512SP F-1  

Standard and safety program processing are made possible by the failsafe ET 200SP CPUs. They meet the functional safety requirements of EN 61508 (2nd Edition) certification and can be used in safety-related applications up to SIL 3 (IEC 62061) and PL e (ISO 13849).  

The ET 200SP standard and fail-safe modules, as well as decentralized connectivity via PROFINET / PROFIsafe with any ET 200 system, can be added to the 151*SP F CPUs.  

Extra password protection has been implemented for the F configuration and F application in order to enhance IT security.  

In discrete manufacturing technology, the CPUs can function as distributed intelligence (PROFINET I-Device) or as a PROFINET IO controller.  

The three ports on the integrated PROFINET IO IRT interface are intended to allow a line structure to be built in the plant via ports 1 and 2, as well as the connection of a PG/PC or HMI device via port 3. 

To sum up, the SIMATIC ET 200SP CPU provides a lightweight, robust solution for industrial automation requirements. Its excellent performance and smooth integration make it an adaptable option for a range of applications, helping enterprises to increase operational productivity and efficiency.
