Siemens: Failsafe I/O modules

Siemens compact Simatic ET 200MP Failsafe I/O modules simplify S7 1500 controller distributed configuration; the F-DI 16x24 VDC PROFIsafe and F-DQ 8x24 VDC/2A PPM PROFIsafe modules support the “no dip” concept, eliminating the need to assign PROFIsafe addresses via a DIP switch.

Featuring low parts variance, the 35 mm-wide modules simplify mounting, ordering, logistics, and inventory management with a uniform front connector.Channel-specific diagnostics enable fast and clear process error identification and reduce plant standstills.

The modules also offer mechanical slot coding to ensure proper module and front connectors assignments, to reduce errors during configuration and module replacement.
