Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.

Product overview

2.1
What are distributed I/O systems?
When a system is set up, the inputs and outputs from and to the process are often located
centrally in the programmable logic controller.
If there are inputs and outputs at considerable distances from the PLC, there may be long
runs of cabling that are not immediately comprehensible. Additionally, electromagnetic
interference may impair reliability.
Using a distributed I/O system provides the following benefits:
●The controller CPU is located centrally.
●The I/O systems (inputs and outputs) operate locally on a distributed basis.
●The high-performance ET 200pro system ensures that the PLC and I/O systems
communicate smoothly.

following:
●An interface module that transfers data to the EtherNet/IP master
●Up to 16 electronic modules with maximum 1 m total width (without rack)
●Connection modules in various designs for
–ET 200pro EtherNet/IP module
–Supply voltages
–Inputs and outputs
●Pneumatic interface modules for linking of FESTO valve terminals
You can thus set the focus of your configuration on local requirements.
The convenient handling features of ET 200pro EtherNet/IP module ensure quick
commissioning and easy maintenance.
Terminal modules and electronic modules
The ET 200pro distributed I/O system consists primarily of various passive connection

3.2 Operation
ET 200pro distributed I/O EtherNet/IP interface module
Manual, 03/2016, A5E32861915-AB 19
3.2
Operation
The ET 200pro EtherNet/IP interface module is capable of operating out of the box in
Automatic Configuration mode without any special configuration software. Automatic
Configuration mode is the default mode.
However, to take full advantage of advanced diagnostics and features, you can operate in
User-configured mode by using the EIP ET200 Configuration Tool software.
You can access the Configuration Tool software and associated User Reference Guide in
one of two places:
●on the companion disk that shipped with your ET 200pro EtherNet/IP interface module
●on the Siemens Industry Online Support website
(https://support.automation.siemens.com/cs/?lc=en-US)
Automatic Configuration mode
When operating in Automatic Configuration mode, the ET 200pro EtherNet/IP module
configures its I/O sizes, I/O module parameterization data, and configuration data according
to the combination of ET 200pro modules present at power-up or reset. In Automatic
Configuration mode:
●Electronic module parameter data cannot be specified. The modules use the default
parameters. You must make certain that the default parameters for the modules satisfy
your application requirements.
●I/O configuration cannot be verified. The ET 200pro EtherNet/IP module verifies the
configuration by examining I/O sizes.
Note that the ET 200pro EtherNet/IP module is unable to differentiate modules of similar
configuration types (for example, a 2 A discrete output module as compared to a 0.5 A
discrete output module):
●The I/O data format is defined by the combination of modules installed.
●I/O module grouping is enabled.
●The I/O status byte is enabled.
Note
Motor starters require User
-configured mode.

3.2 Operation
ET 200pro distributed I/O EtherNet/IP interface module
20 Manual, 03/2016, A5E32861915-AB
User-configured mode
When operating in User-configured mode, the ET 200pro EtherNet/IP module I/O sizes, I/O
module parameterization data, and I/O configuration data are stored in nonvolatile memory
and accessed via the Slot Object. In User-configured mode:
●You can modify electronic module parameter data, allowing access to more advanced
configuration options and diagnostics.
●I/O configuration is verified. Mismatching I/O configurations result in an error.
Note that the ET 200pro EtherNet/IP module is unable to differentiate modules of similar
configuration types (for example, a 2 A discrete output module as compared to a 0.5 A
discrete output module).
●You can set Slot Object instance attributes (as long as there are no open I/O
connections).
●You define the I/O data format by the combination of modules you configure.
●I/O module grouping is available, but you must define it by your configuration selections.
Changes to configuration data
Changes to user configuration data take effect immediately after download without resetting
the device.
Changes to user configuration data are stored in nonvolatile memory immediately (before the
explicit message response is sent).
Setting the IP address
DHCP is the factory default. When the ET 200pro EtherNet/IP module is using DHCP, you
can set IP addresses by using Microsoft Windows and Linux DHCP/BOOTP servers. There
are several free servers for Microsoft Windows available for download from the Internet. Use
discretion when downloading software from the Internet.
After you set the IP address with DHCP, you can use the EIP ET200 Configuration Tool to
set a permanent IP address and turn off DHCP. See the "EIP ET200 Configuration Tool User
Reference Guide" for detailed instructions.
I/O status byte
The Adapter Object IO_StatusEnable attribute allows you to enable or disable the generation
of an additional I/O status byte to detect faults in the ET 200pro EtherNet/IP. If the
IO_StatusEnable attribute is TRUE (1), an additional status byte is placed at the beginning of
the input data packet, prior to any electronic module data. In the event of a fault, the status
byte is set to 1, and the I/O status LED flashes red while I/O is active.
If the IO_StatusEnable attribute is FALSE (0), the input data packet contains only electronic
module data as configured.
