Saves space in the control cabinet and uses smaller control boxes due to slim design in the format of the ET 200S distributed I/O
Simple connection and disconnection of the RJ45 plug by means of easily accessible RJ45 sockets angled downward on the device
High availability of the network thanks to:
Redundant power supply
Redundant network structures based on fiber-optic or twisted pair cables (redundancy manager integrated)
Easy device replacement by means of plug-in C-PLUG swap medium
Lower susceptibility to failure and higher availability of the plant networking due to latching of the RJ45 FastConnect connectors in the sleeve of the RJ45 ports
Protection of investment due to integration into existing network management systems by means of standardized SNMP access
Time savings during engineering, commissioning and in the operating phase of a plant by using the configuration and diagnostics integrated in STEP 7
