Component
Function
Drive units with PROFI‐
BUS DP interface (e.g. SI‐
NAMICS S120)
... convert speed setpoints into signals for controlling the motors and
supply the power required to operate the motors.
Also can be operated as an isochronous slave on PROFIBUS DP.
Teleservice adapter
Remote diagnostics
Ethernet
The Control Unit can communicate with the following components via the Ethernet interfaces
or be embedded in an automation environment:

... is used for operating and monitoring functions. This is not an es‐
sential requirement for the operation of a Control Unit.
PROFINET IO
The D4x5‑2 DP/PN can communicate with the following components via the onboard
PROFINET IO interface or via the Ethernet communication board (CBE30-2).

Distributed I/O systems
SIMATIC ET 200MP
Modular I/O system for cabinet installation and high channel densi‐
ties in the SIMATIC S7‑1500 packaging system. SIMAT‐
IC ET 200MP permits the shortest bus cycle times and fastest re‐
sponse time even with large volumes of data. With the time-based
I/Os, signals can be recorded or output to the precise µs.
SIMATIC ET 200M
Modular I/O system for cabinet installation and high channel densi‐
ties in the SIMATIC S7‑300 packaging system.
SIMATIC ET 200SP
Finely scalable I/O system for cabinet installation; ET 200SP fea‐
tures a single-cable and multi-cable connection with push‑in termi‐
nals, compact dimensions, high performance, and low part variety.
With the time-based I/Os,
signals can be recorded or output to the precise µs.
