Why ET 200 is strategic in modern automation

The ET 200 family is used when control is not centralized in the main cabinet, but distributed across different points of the machine or plant.

This allows:

• more efficient wiring
• faster maintenance
• greater scalability
• direct integration with PROFINET and PROFIBUS

Main series of the ET 200 family

The family includes several sub-series:

👉 ET 200S – classic modular distributed I/O
👉 ET 200SP – modern compact platform with wide adoption
👉 ET 200M – modules for integration with S7-300 / S7-400 architectures
👉 ET 200pro – direct machine-mounted installation
👉 ET 200eco – rugged decentralized solutions
👉 ET 200AL – compact lightweight distributed I/O
