6ES7590-0CA00-0AA0 Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 / ET 200MP Slot Cover Original Brand New

Particularly when combined with the active backplane bus, ET 200MP is intended for applications in which even short system failures can result in significant economic damage. Typical active backplane bus applications include:

• Logistics systems, e.g. high-bay warehouses, baggage handling systems in airports or letter and parcel sorting systems in mail logistics plants, where disruptions to the just-in-time chain can lead to high follow-up costs.
• Infrastructure, e.g. lighting and signaling systems in tunnels, water/wastewater treatment in sewage or power plants which have to be operationally reliable 24/7.
• Continuous processes which cannot be interrupted for reasons of process control, such as in wafer production in the semiconductor industry, the production of drugs in the pharmaceutical industry or reactions in the chemical industry.
• Plants in difficult to access geographical locations and which are required to function for a longer period time, such as several days, when I/O modules fail, until a service technician can come and fix the problem on-site. Examples are offshore oil drilling or wind farms, or compressor systems in gas pipelines.
• Other applications include interlockings in railway technology or subways, or use of ET 200MP on ships.

Many of these systems run for 10 to 20 years and are supplemented during their service life. In order to reserve capacity for future functional expansions, the active backplane bus allows for gaps to be left wherever required in the station configuration which can be equipped with I/O modules if and when required.
