Narrow IO modules
03 December 2013
The Siemens Industry Automation Division has developed narrow IO modules with a width of just 25mm for the Simatic ET 200MP distributed I/O. This means that up to 30 modules can be mounted on a standard mounting rail of 830mm.

The new modules can be combined with the 35mm modules of the same design, which are already established on the market. The new portfolio of 25mm modules for Simatic ET 200MP includes the following digital input and output modules: DI 16x24VDC BA, DI 32x24VDC BA, DQ 16x24VDC/0.5A BA and DQ 32x24VDC/0.5A BA, as well as the mixed module DI/DQ 16x24VDC/16xDC24V/0.5A BA.
With the same pin assignment for wiring, the circuit and wiring diagrams can be universally used for both the 25mm and 35mm sizes. The new modules also use the easy-to-handle push-in terminal technology. The front connector required for this is supplied together with the module.
The Simatic ET 200MP distributed I/O system features a modular and scalable station design. The IO modules can also be used for centralised automation tasks with the new Simatic S7-1500 controllers. The new 25mm modules have an extended range of functions compared with the 35mm modules – for example with respect to on-delay, parameter assignment or diagnostic options.
