SIMATIC ET 200S is the distributed I/O station that guarantees lasting savings in life-cycle costs with the highest flexibility. Installation couldn't be easier and the bit-modular design of the ET 200S enables multifunctional use of the station. This provides you with the following lasting benefits:
	• Especially high savings in wiring (up to 80%) thanks to integrated   technologies
	• Significant space savings in the control cabinet (up to 50%) thanks to   compact design
	• Huge increases in availability due to "fixed wiring"
	• Bit-modular design: up to 64 modules per station
	• Powerful, self-buildup 40-A energy bus

Motor starters for all applications up to Category 4:
These fully pre-wired units can even be replaced during operation and under power. You can choose between the standard motor starter (up to 5.5 kW) and the high feature motor starter (up to 7.5 kW).

Distributed intelligence:
The integral CPU with the functionalities of the S7-300 enables advance startup, enhanced availability, and modular machine design.

IQ Sense sensor modules:
These enable particularly simple integration of the sensors and also offer diagnostics functions and fast replacement.

Technology modules extend the possible applications:
Technology modules are intelligent modules that operate independently of the CPU and carry out the technological task largely autonomously. Parameterization of the modules is supported with STEP 7. There are modules for the following applications:
