What kind of ET200 modules that accepts hot swaping (replacing modules when CPU is in run mode). another question, I have a project which comprises (384) DI, (224) DO & (16) AI points, what is the most suitable configuration (by using Profibus through ET200) Regards. Tomy the Master.

For the numbers of I/Os you have mentioned, If you go for ET200S (8 DI, 8 DQ, 4AI) then you will have around 80 modules which means min. 2 interface modules. Number of IM depends on, 1- I/Os centralized or distributed. 2-Installation technique(many installation techniques can't afford 64 modules per IM). For ET200M (32DI,32DQ & 8AI) then you will have21 modules which also means min. of 2 HF interface modules. You will need deep S7-300 rail and active bus units for all modules. ET200S has the advantagethat it's mounted on 35mm DIN rail which means it doesn't need deep S7-300 rack and active bus modules. Maybe the ET200S solution will be cheaper. I don't knowabout price differences between the 2 solutions but I think you should calculate it. Hot swappingdepends on both the CPU and theinterface module. For Profibus, Only S7-400CPUs have OB83 in theiroperating system which is essential for this kind of interrupts. There's a trick in S7-300 to usestandard slaves from GSD files. I tried it with ET200M and was never satisfied with results. I don't know if it works well with ET200S. For Profinet, both S7-300 and S7-400 PN CPUs have OB83. Best regards. H-H

To give you an idea what I am thinking of here a short list of questions I would ask to decide which system is the most suitable... or which system I would use where.... - How many DP Slaves are planed or are wished to be used? - How do the surrounding conditions look like? (Gas, Acid, Food & Beverage, Safety class...) - Where should the I/O be located at? - ... About the question about hot swapping with ET 200 I would say it also depends on the used DP-Master System. If you use a S7-300 as DP Master you do not have to care at all, because the S7-300 does not support hot swapping at all. If you have a S7-400 you may use... I think at least these ET200 systems: + ET200S + ET200M (with active bus module) + ET200iSP + ET200pro I hope I could be of any help. Best regards J_Bell
