Features and benefits of the EIP-200S Ethernet/IP Adapter
The following table lists the features and benefits of the EIP-200S Ethernet/IP Adapter:
Features
Benefits
Structure
Finely-graduated modular design:
•
1/2/4/8 channel electronic modules
•
Power modules
•
Integrated motor starters
•
Function-oriented, cost-optimized station design
•
Considerable reduction in outlay for configuration
and documentation
•
Space savings due to arbitrary arrangement of
the modules
Extensive range of electronic modules
Broad area of application
Communication capacity, system-integrated
motor starter: direct and reversing starter to
7.5 kW
PLC inputs and outputs, terminal blocks, circuit
breakers and contactors in a plug-in module save
space and the effort involved in wiring
Permanent wiring due to the separation of
mechanical and electronic components
•
Prewiring possible
•
Module replacement during operation of the
EIP-200S ("hot swapping")
Individual connection of power modules to
common potential
•
Individual formation of potential groups (identifia-
ble by color coding of the TM-P terminal modules
for power modules)
•
Simple load interruption
DLR media redundancy
Ring structures with Device Level Ring (DLR) sup-
port
Robust structure for rough industrial condi-
tions (5 g vibration resistance)
High operating reliability when mounted directly on
the machine, high availability
Connection system
Integrated voltage buses
Reduced effort required for wiring
Power bus up to 50 A for motor starters
Minimization of wiring in 400 V range
Screw-type terminals, spring terminals, and
Fast Connect
A change in terminal connection method is not nec-
essary
•
2- and 3-wire connection, or
•
2-, 3-, and 4-wire connection
Optimal selection on grounds of space and cost
Fast Connect
•
Quick connection method with no stripping re-
quired
•
Saves time with wiring
Terminal box in terminal module replaceable
No need to remove the terminal module in the event
of terminal damage
Automatic coding of the I/O modules
Quick and reliable module replacement
Large label plate
Adequate space for clear identification
With motor starters up to safety category 4 in
accordance with EN 954-1
Saves money on costly safety equipment
