The active backplane bus is placed in an S7-1500 mounting rail. The mounting rail must be
longer than the active backplane bus. There must be enough space for the fixing screws of
the mounting rail. Information on the length of the active backplane bus can be found in the

Mounting the mounting rail
Note
No screws behind the active backplane bus
Note th
at behind the active backplane bus, no screws are available for mounting the
mounting rail. Otherwise, the active backplane bus cannot be mounted.
System power supply
With active backplane bus, a system power supply supplies power to the entire station. Which
means also to the I/O modules plugged in to the left of the bus. You can plug the system
power supply into any slot to the right of the interface module.
Note
System power supply
You must not plug any system power supply to the left of the interface module.
Place the active backplane bus in the mounting rail and mount the modules
Below we will show you how to mount the active backplane bus.
1. Tilt the active backplane bus forward and insert it diagonally into the mounting rail.
2. Push the active backplane bus backwards.
Figure 3-1 Insert the active backplane bus into the mounting rail

3. Hook the interface module on the rail.
You may only plug in one interface module. The interface module must be plugged into
the first slot.
4. Swivel the interface module downwards so that the contacts are connected to the active
backplane bus.
5. Align the active backplane bus with the interface module.
6. Tighten the screws for the interface module (tightening torque 1.5 Nm).
Figure 3-2 Mounting the interface module on the active backplane bus
7. Install the I/O module on the mounting rail. Align a 25 mm or 35 mm wide I/O module with
the arrows. A 70 mm wide I/O module covers 2 slots.
8. Swing the I/O module downwards so that the contacts are connected to the active
backplane bus.
9. Tighten the screw for the I/O module (tightening torque 1.5 Nm).
10.Repeat the process for all I/O modules that you want to mount.

11.If you have empty slots on the active backplane bus, then you must provide these slots with
a slot protection (see Operation (Page 15)).
12.A "BACKPLANE" sticker is enclosed for the active backplane bus. Use this sticker to identify
the interface module. So you can see even with a fully equipped active backplane bus that
the I/O modules can be pulled without any reaction.
Slots of I/O modules
Note
Slots
The empty slots need to be provided with a slot protection. The slot protection is used to
secure mechanically and to protect the contacts.

With the active backplane bus, you can remove and insert
•Plugging and unplugging I/O modules without reaction on the station or the CPU goes into
STOP,
•Plugging I/O modules into slots previously left free without the CPU going into STOP.
Pulling and plugging interface modules
The interface module cannot be pulled and plugged reaction-free.
The interface module must not be pulled or plugged under load.
Removing and inserting I/O modules
I/O modules can be pulled and inserted reaction-free.
1. The front connector of the I/O modules may only be disconnected and plugged when de-
energized.
2. For the I/O modules, pull the front connector out of the I/O module using the unlocking
strap. Swivel the front connector downward and remove it from the groves.
3. Then you may pull the I/O module.
4. When plugging in, proceed in reverse order (see also S7-1500 Automation System system
manual (https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/59191792)).
Pulling and plugging power supply module
A power supply module cannot be pulled and plugged without reaction.
A power supply module can only be pulled and plugged when de-energized.
Use in explosive area Zone 2
WARNING
Pulling or plugging a module is prohibited in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
If you pull or plug a module or connector during operation, there is a risk of sparking. Sparks
can cause an explosion in the hazardous area. Death or serious bodily injury as well as
damage to property can be the result.
Do not pull or plug the module or the connectors until one of the following two conditions
is met: The area is no longer hazardous or the device and its plug connectors are de-
energized.

Note
GSD file
When
configuring using a GSD file, more I/O modules can be configured than can be
physically inserted. If you configure more I/O modules than can be inserted, the IM 155

Note
GSD file and 70 mm wide sys

When you are plugging a 70
mm wide system power supply, note that this system power
supply physically occupies two slots. When configuring using the GSD file, you must then
leave an empty slot after the system po
wer supply in the configuration. Otherwise, the
IM
155-5 PN HF interface module reports the setpoint/actual difference as a "Configuration
error".

The representation of a station in the graphics area of the device view consists of 2 main
areas:
①
Rack area
②
Module area (slots)
Replacing a rack
To replace the U-connector rack for an active backplane bus, you can use the "Change device"
function.
Switch to the device view.
Then there are 2 options for starting the "Change device" function:
•Via the shortcut menu
–Right-click in the rack area (1) or on the name of the rack (in the figure above e.g.
"Rail_0").
–Select "Change device" from the shortcut menu. A dialog window opens.
–Select another rack and click "OK". The replacement of the rack starts.
•Via drag-and-drop
–The hardware catalog is open. Select the "Rack" folder and navigate through the
subfolders to the desired rack.
–Select the desired rack.
–Drag the rack into the rack area (1) and place it there.

Module area (slots)
Note
Contrary to plugging modules, the replacement of a rack cannot be started by double-clicking
on the catalog entry. The reason for this is that a double-click only works if there is slot free
and permitted available. However, only one permissible area is available for a rack, which is
always automatically occupied by the standard rack type when a device is plugged in the
network view.
With ET 200MP, a representative module is automatically created in slot 0 when replacing
into the active backplane rack. This module reflects the diagnostics and parameters of the
active backplane bus according to the characteristics of the selected rack.
