10:30 - How to Connect a Sensor to the ET 200SP Base Unit
This video will answer two important questions for you.
First, what is an ET 200SP base unit?
And second, how can you install and use this device in your system?
The base unit is, as the name indicates, a base where you can install the I/O cards.
In order for you to be able to install the I/O cards on the et 200sp, you must first have a base unit installed on the din rail. Once in place, you can install your I/O card.
Let’s examine how to install each component of this ET 200SP remote I/O on the din rail.
With the rail in place, you put the head module on the rail.
Then push in the lower part lightly until you hear a click sound.
The same goes for the base unit. You put it on the rail then push it into the rail. Making sure the device clicks into the rail.
Next, push the base unit to the left to attach it to the head module.
When you hear that click sound, it means that the base unit has been properly connected to the head module.
Now, the base unit can easily communicate data with the head module.
To install the I/O cards or theI/O modules, you simply place the card on the base unit.
Then push it in slightly to hear the click sound.
Now, this card is able to communicate data with the head module through the base unit.
You can install the rest of the cards on the base units in the same way.
To power up the head module, you need to first connect a 24-volt power to the module.
Then to power up the rest of the modules in the unit, you simply take the same two wires and connect them to these terminals of the first base unit.
By doing this, you’ll not only be able to power this module, but you’ll see the power also follows through the rest of the base units on right. And turns on the rest of the modules as well.
Bottom line? You don’t have to connect any wire to these base units. Just connect the power to the first unit and the rest will be taken care of.
Now you may ask, does this work with any other base unit setup as well? In other words, can I simply connect the power to the first one, and then the power flows through to the rest of the modules?
The answer is… no!
The reason the power can flow through from this base unit to the rest on the right is because i’m using a type A0 light-colored base unit here.
While the rest of the base units are type B0 dark-colored.
As with any other module, there are several types of base units.
This module features, for example, type A0, A1, B0, B1, C0, and C1 among several others.
Additionally, some of these types come in both light and dark colors.
As a rule of thumb, light-colored base units are usually installed as the first module after the head module and can pass the power to the rest of the modules on the right.
While the dark-colored base units are usually installed from slot two onward and can receive power from the light-colored base units on the right.
How do the i/o cards receive the signals from the sensors and actuators in the field?
Well, this is where the base unit comes into play again.
To connect the sensors and actuators in the field to the I/O cards on the remote I/O, you take the wire from the sensor, put a wire ferrule on it, and then connect it to the push-in terminals on the base unit. Easy peasy, right?

I knew all of this, but this was the best explaining instruction I've found to date and I will bookmark it as a reference to my colleges when they have their first Siemens project.
Hi Daniel,
Thanks a lot for your kind compliment! We are always extremely happy to hear such positive feedback! If you ever have any questions, feel free to reach out to us.
Happy learning!
I used to work for the instrumentation department at a consultant office, where we designed an offshore gas compression plant within a 4-level plattform. We needed to install Remote I/Os to later connect them to the main PLC. The control system arquitecture included such RIOs spreaded everywhere, linked to the main control system through profinet cables. Definetely, RIOs are the best way to interconnect field instrumentation to main control system. Thanks RealPars for sharing such a valuale information.
You are very welcome, Melquiades! Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences and knowledge with us.

Thanks 👍
You're very welcome!
I ordered and tried to install a new replacement 4wire engine speed sensor AI module - Siemans6ES7 1344GB62-0AB0. The key on the back of the replacement AI module faces at 7oclock, where as the old one faces at 4 oclock. Therefore the base plate will not except the new AI due to the key direction. How can I make this compatible?
Is the key direction on the base plate interchangeable?
Thanks.
Hey.. Thank you for such a nice.

Thank you for sharing, and happy learning!
Keep going
Thanks a lot for the demonstration. Max.how many cards (B0)can be connected at right side with A0?
It depends on the power requirements of the B0 units. Most A0 base units can pass no more than 10A to the cards on the right.
Do we have to download any kind of program into the head module or remote I/O unit? How this remote I/O module is instructed to send and receive data from the main controller?
No. When you add the ET200SP to the hardware configuration from the hardware catalog, the GSD file for the rack is added to the project. This file tells the CPU how to interpret the data string that is returned from the ET200SP and how to format the commands the CPU sends to the remote I/O head module.
It very helpful.
Great to hear that, Thuan!
@@realpars thank you
Awesome
Thank you!
Good video, can you please make a video on the ring and chain topologies of PLC's
Thanks for the topic suggestion, I will definitely go ahead and forward this to our creator team. Happy learning!
Thanks for the great content. It's always enjoyable to learn from your channel. Just a quick question: By connecting the dark base unit to the light one, do we create a 24VDC power supply on the last row of the dark base unit terminal (red and blue pins)? Is it possible to use them as a power supply for field devices when necessary?
Hello Ehsan Vazirinahad,
Thank you for your question. Because I don’t know what application you are working on, I am providing for your review and learning two links below from Siemens, which should have all the information you need with your projects. The first link is the ET-200 SP manual, and the second is software in the cloud that Siemens provides for you to create your hardware project for free. You can also download this information to your computer. You might have to create an account with Siemens for free to use their website on some items they allow you to download. Happy learning from RealPars!

@@realpars Thank you for the provided links . Your channel is incredible.I learnt a lot from it. Keep up the fantastic work.
Hi..
Thank you for the video explanation.
But i have some concern on the architecture of connecting S71500 an ET200SP.
Since all the I/O devices are connected to the ET200SP, all the programs should be done on the ET200SP right?
Then why do we still need the S71500??
It depends on the model of the ET200SP system you purchase. There are ET200SP models that include an IM module and can be a Profibus slave node to an S7-1500 or connect to an S7-1500 Profinet master. An example would be an IM 155-6 PN BA, which supplies a typical remote I/O interface using ET200SP modules. There is also a line of ET20)SP CPU"s, which can be programmed as stand-alone PLC and I/O, combined onto the same ET200SP backplane. ET200SP CPU's have small amounts of program memory (150kb - 750kB) as compared to a larger S7-1500 The ET200SP is essentially a smaller and less expensive S7-1500. A typical model number for an ET200SP CPU si S7-1510SP-1 PN.
merciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Our pleasure!
Good Video! Can I use the ET200 also completely standalone? Just in terms of functionality do I have any disadvantages compared to a 1500?
The ET200SP family of I/O can be used ins a standalone I/O rack, but a separate PLC CPU unit, like an S7-1500 or S7-300 series PLC is still required. The S7-1500 can be used with an integrated ET200MP series I/O subsystem or, with a Profinet or Profibus-DP link, the ET200SP I/O subsystem can be used as a remote I/O solution.
On one white power module how many input output modules can be connected??
lmao, no. ET200 is not a PLC, it's just a Bus Collector. You still need a PLC.
hello! Can you please share which software you use to prepare the animations?
Hi Dipankar,
Thanks for your comment!
I am actually not sure about this as this is done by our graphic and animation department.

Hi,
Can the dp et 200m be configured with i/o and then programmed without using cpu?
You can configure the entire system offline including ET200 and the DP network. However, in order to download the configuration, you will need the CPU installed. The ET200M gets is commands from the CPU and you will not be able to monitor I/O without the CPU in place. This is because a DP network requires a master node, which is always the CPU.
Very helpful video.
On one white power module how many input output modules can be connected??
The answer is as many modules as you can add (up to 32 for an ET200SP interface module or 64 for an ET200SP CPU module) and not deplete the power supply. Each module type requires a different amount of current to operate. You would want to add a power module if you need to isolate circuits or use different voltages for the I/O cards (as in separation 24VDC I/O from 120VAC I/O).
@@realpars ok so depends on current capacity.
Thank you so much for your reply.
Great video. Though check narration around 7:20min. "Light modules feed dark modules to the right." but then "Dark modules receive power from light module to the right." Should it be left?
Yes. Light-colored modules have power connections and pass power to the right. Dark-colored modules accept power from the left.
Thank for the vedio..
How many darkcolored module can be powered up by using single light color module??
Twelve (12) to the right of the light-colored module.
@@realparsThank you for answer.
is that include Digital I/O and analoge I/Os
Can you please tell what is the difference between the two ports 1L+and 2L+ in this CPU power supply?
These ports allow for 2 separate 24VDC circuits to be wired. 1L+ and 2L+ are both 24VDC sources, so one circuit can be formed with 1L+ (24VDC+) and common, and the second circuit can be formed with 2L+ (also 24VDC+) and common.
Great video
In one batch processing plant having 250 I/O can I use ET200SP with S7-1200Cpu?
Or S7-1200 1415 with traditional I/O cards will be enough.
How many exactly I/O ET1200SP supports?
S7-1200 1415 support 8 channel I/o only (DI DO AI AO).
Which will be more cost-effective?
System has some RTD module as well.
Great question! First, how close are the field sensors and switches from where the PLC is? Many times, the choice of whether to use remote I/O (like ET200SP) or just local I/O depends on the cost of wiring and installation. If your 250 I/O are an average of 100 ft from the PLC, you will need >2500ft of wiring. If you can locate ET200SP "racks" closer to the I/O itself, then there is a substantial cost saving in wiring, conduit, and labor to install these items. As far as the ET200SP is concerned, each ET200SP station can support up to 64 cards. Your S7 PLC model can support up to 8 modules, which indicates you likely will need to use ET200SP I/O to meet your I/O requirements. You can certainly use both. ET200SP is best integrated via Profinet, so you can have many racks of ET200SP located to minimize wiring and installation costs. Both ET200SP and SM12xx modules (used as S7-1200 connected I/O cards) can support the full range of digital and analog signals in your system. I would suggest enlisting the help of a local systems integrator to help you determine the most effective way to proceed.
@@realpars Thank you so much to RealPars for this detail reply ❤
I got really clear picture now
Plant I/Os are situated very near to each other not more than 60ft from DCS/PLC room I will combine S7 1200 with ET200SP to get desired no. Of I/O
I will use full 8 channel of S7 1200 including RTD and remaining I will include in ET200SP
Please sir upload the video for new HMI input output installation
Thansk for the topic suggestion! I will go ahead and forward this to our creator team.
Can you use profibus for comms on the ET200SP or is it only profinet?
Yes, there is an option for a ProfibusDP communication module. Other fieldbuses are also an option.
Can you make videos on Siemens smc 20/30/120 and NCU unit
Hey Hitanshu!

Dears,
I like this vidio too much
I need clarification for two points
1 - based on given cpu information
Is there limit to connect no of remote I / O.?
2 - for given nos of rote I / O and plcs in different locations how can decide following issues :-
Switch specifications, Server specifications and data warehouse specification based on phenomena that I will save whole Data in database for further analysis
Thank you in advance for your support and clarifications
Warm regards
Yes, different CPU models allow for differing number of racks/IO cards/IO points. For your CPU, download the CPU documentation from Siemens. For example, the technical specs for an S7-1214C can be found here: support.industry.siemens.com/cs/pd/255094?pdti=td&dl=en&lc=en-WW. The process image table and output image tables are each 1024 bits (1 kB), so this CPU can have up to 1024 inputs and 1024 outputs. There are limitations to the numbers of nodes that are connected (16 for this CPU, so there are limits for each type of remote I/O node that may limit the total number of I/O available. The only limitation connecting switches, servers, PLCs via Profinet is the cable lengths (
should you be using cable shoes with these terminals or is it better to use bare wire ?
I like to use wire ferrules (cable shoes) at the ends of stranded wire. That keeps the installation neat and makes it easier to insert the wires into the terminals.
Waiting for your VFD third part video
Can you please upload a VFD parameter setting video
Thanks, Mohamed, I will forward your request to our creator team. Happy learning!
@@realpars this is a much needed video, thanks!
Did this remote iI/O need extra enclosure to mount?
ET200SP hardware is rated as IP20, so it will require a panel enclosure in any wet or humid environment.
Hey bro, what´s the model ET200SP in your video?
Hi Carlos,
Our apologies for the delay in our response!
We are using the following ET200SP, SIMATIC ET 200SP, BaseUnit Type A0 - 6ES7193-6BP00-0BA0. You can find more details about that over here bit.ly/3e40Jxf
Hope this helps! If I can be of any further assistance, please let me know - I’m more than happy to help!
Hi, i have a problem, i dont have acces to I/O data, i have a dark BU in slot 1 is that a problem if i dont have the AC I/O module or an AI Energy Meter as the first I/O module?
You will need to have a module to the left of the dark-colored BU's that can pass power to the dark-colored modules. Otherwise, the dark BU's are not powered.
@@realpars Your video helped me a lot, actually that is what i did, it worked perfectlly! thank you, i want to point out that i had a safety module instaled in the dark colorred one, and it took away the eeprom, i needed to pull it out and put it back on the safety module because i could'nt assign the profisafe name again...
Can we connect an instrument on the light colored base unit??
Sure, just place an Analog Input card on the first (light-colored) base unit. The difference in the base units is only in how power is distributed between the modules. Each type of base can take any of the I/O card types.
how about et200sp im155-6mf hf, I didn't find it in the library.
Hi there,

When I should use a power module attached to BU ? [6ES7138-4CA01-0AA0]
The power module (6ES7138-4CA01-0AA0) has been phased out. It was used in the ET200S product line, which has been replaced by ET200SP, as shown in this video. There is one power module available for the ET200SP (6ES7136-6PA00-0BC0) which is used only if a fail-safe power supply with diagnostics is required.
I have one question why you not use any PM(power module)?
The power supply is part of the head module. Power wiring is connected at the lower left of the head module. A separate power module is not required.

Hi there,
Thank you for your question! The ET200 system has been around from Siemens for a long time. And many improvements have been done to these modules.

Hi.currently we are using ET 200 SP 4ch, 2A, DO card (18nos.) With Profinet IM module.
Everything is working fine the only problem is the heating. When all DOs are turn ON the PLC temperature I checked was 45 to 48 deg. C.
Is this a normal? Because even with this temperature my operation is working fine.
Load on each module is also less than 5A.
I have heard of this happening before. There may be a number of causes. Is this ET200SP rack in a closed panel? You may need to ventilate or provide internal panel cooling, especially if the power supply feeding the output circuits is also in the panel. I may also be a grounding issue, as electrical noise can be dissipated as heat. Try grounding the DIN rail on which the ET200SP is mounted, and make sure the power supply is properly grounded. Also, insure that there is at least 20mm clearance above and below the ET200SP rack and at least 10mm on each side. Lastly, ensure the power wires to the CPU are at least 14AWG and that there are no loose connections.
@@realpars Thank you for your prompt reply. we kept PLC in close panel with Power supply. actually we are supplying IP65 rated panel due to this fans are not provided for ventilation. 45mm empty space we maintain above and below PLC. Earthing we checked it was 0.85ohm.
One more question we saw some residual voltage(6.9V) at the DO card when DO was not forced is because PNP?
can this I/O module be used only with S7 1500? oder is it also possible with S7 1200?
Thank you for your inquiry. Indeed, it is possible. Siemens introduced this functionality in version 12, approximately a decade ago. With the latest version, 1200, you have even more capabilities at your disposal. I suggest visiting the Siemens support website to explore the full range of features. Note that in some instances, you may need to register before downloading.

@realpars thank you for detailed answer
Don't forget to include server module program to the last slot in your configuration. Without it, you will not have successful communication with the device.
Great addition! Thank you for sharing.
How many no's IO modules can be connected with one power module?
You add modules up to the point where the modules use all available power from the power module. Each type of I/O module requires a different amount of power. Typically, this is 12 - 15 modules.

Any other way to send signals from Remote I/O to PLC in that such distance? how about wireless? what device I can use if i want to make wireless from Remote I/O to PLC?
There are a number of ways to send Remote I/O signals over a long distance. Wireless, as you mention, is one, but it will be limited by the quality and number of repeaters and gateways that are part of the mesh network. Another way is fiber optics, which can be run for up to 23km. Another way, that is often used for remote metering sites is cellular or RF signal. How far do you need to send the signals in your system?
@@realpars Can i use RF to transmitting signal in 3miles? Can you give a specific devices/brand I can used?
@@realpars can you make a video with a RF signal, range limitation? If you have a Video can I have a link so that I can watch. Thanks RealPars.
