Core Features
Modular I/O Range
The ET 200BL supports a curated set of module types, allowing you to tailor the system to basic application needs:
- Digital Input (DI) modules
- Digital Output (DQ) modules
- Analog Input (AI) modules
- Analog Output (AQ) modules
These modules come with Siemens’ typical documentation on wiring, technical specs, and diagnostics.
Interface Module
The system is built around the IM 155‑8 PN interface module, which handles the PROFINET communication and links the distributed I/O to your PLC.
Simplied Engineering
Siemens positions ET 200BL as part of its streamlined engineering ecosystem:
- Full support via STEP 7 and TIA Portal workflow
- Up-to-date product information and manuals available via Siemens’ support portal (including module characteristics, wiring diagrams, and configuration guides)
Typical Use Cases
ET 200BL is intended for cost-sensitive applications such as:
- Small machinery
- Basic automation cells
- Material handling
- Packaging systems
- Applications where I/O density and advanced diagnostics are less critical
Its lower-cost positioning means it may be a better fit where ET200SP might be “over-spec’d” in terms of functionality or price.
