SIMATIC S7-300, signal module for 3 SSI encoders to read the positioning value with 2 FREEZE inputs, 1x 20-pin, supports clock synchronization. SIMATIC ET 200M is a modular and universally applicable peripheral system for the control cabinet in IP20, which can be used both as a central peripheral for an S7-300 and in a decentralized setup with a PROFINET or PROFIBUS ET 200M interface module. Up to 12 I/O modules can be plugged in per station. The standardized design of all modules significantly simplifies logistics and spare parts management. ET 200M can be used for both standard and safety-related applications. As peripheral modules (the interface to the process), up to 12 high-channel signal (e.g., 64 digital inputs) and function modules, as well as communication processors of the S7-300, can be used. Thus, the ET 200M also supports modules with extended payload data, such as HART modules with HART secondary variables. For easy wiring, the ET 200M offers, in addition to conventional connection techniques, the stripping-free quick connection technology Fast Connect.
