Area of application
The RF170C communication module is a SIMATIC S7 module. It can be plugged into the
ET 200pro distributed I/O station. The ET 200pro is operated via PROFIBUS DP V1 or
PROFINET IO. An S7-300/-400/-1200/-1500 can be used as the controller.
Via the interface module of the ET 200pro, the RF170C can communicate will all DP masters
that behave according to the standard IEC 61784-1:2002 Ed1 CP 3/1. The DP master must
support DP-V1 (acyclic services).
The RF170C can be used as a central I/O device in an ET 200pro with a suitable interface
module. Thanks to its degree of protection IP67, the RF170C can be installed and operated
direct at the process without any additional protective housing.
