Design and functionDesign The S7-300 enables space-saving and modular configurations. In addition to the modules, only a DIN rail is required for hooking in the modules and screwing them into place. Expansion options If the automation task requires more than 8 modules, the central controller (CC) of the S7-300 can be expanded using expansion units (EUs) Up to 32 modules can be used in the centralrack and up to 8 per expansion unit. Interface modules(IMs) handle communication between the individual racksautonomously. In the case of plants covering wide areas, CCs/EUs can also be installed at greater distances from eachother (up to 10 m). In a single-tiered configuration, this results in a maximumconfiguration of 256 I/O, and in multi-tiered configurations upto 1024 I/O. In distributed configurations with PROFIBUS DP,65536 I/O connections are possible (up to 125 stations, suchas ET 200M via IM 153). The slots are freely addressable, thatis, there are no slot rules. The extensive range of S7-300 modules is also used in distributedautomation solutions. |
