SIMATIC Industrial Automation Systems

The SIMATIC ET 200eco, the compact block IO in IP 65/67 degree of protection for cabinet-free installation directly on the machine, now also has a PROFINET connection. The ET 200eco PN is available both with 8 and 16 digital inputs or outputs in two different design sizes. The SIMATIC ET 200eco PN can be flexibly expanded via PROFINET and supports both star and line topologies within one system. Users of ET 200eco PN benefit from the high performance of PROFINET and an integrated diagnostics concept.

Cutting and winding oriented film over a big working width of up to 10 m and a material thickness of 3-350 µm at a speed of up to 1,200 m/min requires an automation solution with maximum computer performance and precise control. This was the reason why Kampf, world market leader for cutting and winding machines, decided to use a SIMATIC S7-400 with FM 458-1 DP. The freely configurable application module makes it possible to solve technological tasks precisely even at a very high clock-pulse rate.
