Signal Module

Maximum system performance

• • PROFINET isochronous real-time (IRT) for maximum control quality, isochronous with the shortest 250 μs clock pulse 
• • Digital input modules with shortest input delay of 50 μs (ideal as meters)
• • Fast analog modules with conversion time of 62.5 µs or 125 μs for eight channels
• • Analog input modules with independent characteristic linearization for temperature measurements and limit monitoring

Improved functionality and more efficient diagnostics

• • Channel-discrete diagnostic messages for optimized troubleshooting and plant availability
• • Channel-discrete diagnostic LEDs and one-to-one channel assignment for targeted fault location
• • Electronic rating plate for quick and accurate identification
• • Smart meter for high-feature digital input modules

Robust construction and protection for your investment

• • Shielding already integrated
• • Required components supplied for tool-free assembly
• • Space-saving
• • SIPLUS versions with expanded ambient conditions
• • Firmware updating ensures you always have the latest module version; new functions can be retrofitted on an optional basis
• • Easy upgrade from SIMATIC S5 to SIMATIC S7-1500 with I/O adapter

Intelligent product design

• • Cost saving with uniform 40-pin front connector for all peripheral modules
• • Standardized pin-out: Circuit diagram macros can be re-used as required, fewer wiring errors
• • Pre-engaged position for prewiring with no electrical connection
• • Mechanical slot coding prevents transposition 
• • Wiring documented on printed circuit diagram
• • Create labeling strips in the TIA Portal with no need for additional tools 
• • SIMATIC TOP system cabling to connect sensors and actuators quickly and easily
