Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be
connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is
necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network
segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that can be implemented, please
visit (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are
available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customers' exposure
to cyber threats.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS
Feed visit (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).

Area of application
The SIMATIC ET 200AL distributed I/O system is especially well suited for use in tight
spaces, moving applications and for assembly and handling technology. Thanks to its
scalable construction, you have the option to precisely customize its configuration to your on
site needs.
The SIMATIC ET 200AL distributed I/O system features degree of protection IP65/IP67 and
is suited to distributed use on a machine or assembly line.
Setup
The SIMATIC ET 200AL distributed I/O system is made up of the following components:
●Interface modules (PROFINET/PROFIBUS)
●Digital and analog I/O modules
●Communication module
After an interface module you can configure 2 lines (ET-Connection), each with 16 modules.
Alternatively, you can configure a line with 16 I/O modules on the SIMATIC ET 200SP
distributed I/O system with BaseUnit BU-Send and the BusAdapter BA-Send 1xFC.
The ET-Connection backplane bus is designed as a cable. This allows you to create spatial
distances of up to 15 m between the modules.

Distributed I/O system
System Manual, 08/2019, A5E31861578-AG 15
Electrical maximum configuration
The number of usable I/O modules of a potential group is limited by the following points:
●Power requirements of the I/O modules
●Power requirements of the components supplied via these I/O modules
The maximum infeed current of the I/O modules is 4 A with 1L+ supply voltage (non-
switched) and 2L+ load voltage (switched). When the maximum infeed current has been
reached, you must open a new potential group.

3.2 Configuration variants with ET-Connection
Distributed I/O system
System Manual, 08/2019, A5E31861578-AG 19
Procedure
Watch video sequence (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/95886672)
Proceed as follows to put together a multi-tier configuration:
1. Mount the BaseUnit BU-Send directly to the right of the ET 200SP interface module or the
ET 200SP CPU.
2. Then install the other BaseUnits/I/O modules for the ET 200SP distributed I/O system and
the server module.
3. Connect the bus cable for ET-Connection to the BusAdapter BA-Send 1×FC and install it
on the BaseUnit BU-Send.
4. Fasten the BusAdapter BA-Send 1×FC with the BaseUnit BU-Send (1 screw with
tightening torque of 0.2 Nm). Use a screwdriver with a 3 to 3.5 mm blade to do this.
5. Connect the other end of the bus cable for ET-Connection (with M8 connector) to the first
ET 200AL I/O module (socket X30 ET-Connection IN).
6. Connect the supply voltage (24 V DC) to the ET 200AL I/O modules (X80 connector).
