Distributed controller

The Simatic ET 200pro I/O system is an IP65/67-rated distributed controller, with integrated Ethernet and Profibus communication, that does not require a control cabinet; it can be mounted directly on the machine. The modular CPU can be operated with an MPI interface; either a DP slave or DP master on Profibus DP; either an I/O controller or a Profinet CBA device on Profinet; and has 256 KB of ...
