Interface modules for linking the ET 200MP to PROFINET
These handle data exchange with the PROFINET I/O controller in the PLC
Integrated 2-port switch for line topology
Max. 30 I/O modules
Shortest bus cycle 250 µs
Linking to the isochronous task of the CPU
Prioritized fast startup (FSU) with max. 12 I/O modules
Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP)
Shared device on up to two I/O controllers (when configuring using GSD file; depends on the respective configuration tool)
Omission of SIMATIC memory card (SMC); IM replacement without PG using LLDP
Operation of F modules and PROFIsafe
Starting from FW version V2.0.0, the IM155-5 PN ST interface module supports the following new functions:
Submodule-granular shared device with up to two I/O controllers
Configuration control (option handling)
Module-internal shared input and output (MSI/MSO), i.e. the inputs or outputs of a module can be made available simultaneously to up to two I/O controllers
The IM155-5 PN HF interface module has the following additional functions:
Shared device on up to 4 IO controllers
Module-internal shared input and output (MSI/MSO) on up to four IO controllers
Operation on a highly available SIMATIC S7-400H
Support for the MRPD function (media redundancy with planned duplication)
