Thanks to their wide scope of functions, the interface modules of the scalable SIMATIC ET 200SP I/O system, even in their basic versions, cover a wide range of applications. The basic functions of the interface modules include:

• Short data update times of typically 1 ms
• Single Hot Swap (withdrawing and insertion of an I/O module during operation without impairing the communication with the remaining modules)
• Operation with gaps (empty BaseUnits)
• Complete diagnostic support, extending to channel-by-channel diagnostics
• Configuration control / option handling (adaptation of the actual configuration via user software)
• Device replacement without programming device, with automatic re-initialization, with and without topological configuring
• I&M data 0 to 3 (electronic rating plate with non-volatile storage of plant data)
• Firmware update
• Pluggable 24 V DC supply connection
• Mains/voltage failure buffering time of at least 5 ms or 10 ms
• Labeling option via optional labeling strips and equipment labeling plates

When using PROFINET interface modules, the following basic functions are also included:

• Media redundancy (MRP)
• Integrated 2-port switch
• Freely selectable connection system (Standard function class and above) and physical connection (High Feature function class and above) by means of SIMATIC BusAdapters, also as system-integrated media converter from fiber-optic to copper cable. Can also be used for interface modules with MultiFieldbus interface.
• Reset button for simple return to factory settings without the need for programming device
• Automatic synchronization of the backplane bus to the PROFINET cycle to minimize the response time fluctuations (jitter)

Listed below is a short overview of the interface modules available for the ET 200SP, showing the essential differences. An up-to-date, clear and more precise comparison of functions of the different interface modules is offered by the TIA Selection Tool.
