Overview
The cabinet design for components close to the process (automation systems and I/Os) fulfills the technical and economical
demands placed on the AS 488/TM automation systems.
The cabinets consisting of system-specific modules (system
and I/O units) and system-neutral modules (basic cabinets and
options) comply with CE requirements and conform to the guidelines for electromagnetic compatibility. They are designed according to the VGB 4 guidelines, and provide exceptional
protection against unauthorized interventions, mechanical effects, contamination and corrosion.
As a result of their variable modular design, the cabinets can be
readily adapted to different types of system (for batch processes
or continuous processes) and system sizes.
The Siemens standard cabinet 8MC with degree of protection
IP 40 is the preferred basic cabinet. Cabinets with degree of
protection IP 20 and IP 55 are alternatively available.

Design supports installation, commissioning, servicing and repairs

Design supports correct handling when replacing modules
All installation, commissioning, servicing and repair work can
be carried out from the front of the cabinet
Design of power supply assembly: either with Siemens circuitbreakers or with circuit-breakers with monitoring contact for
connection to receptacles (from company ETA)
Wiring for electronics supply as well as load power supply to
I/O modules
Wiring of PROFIBUS-DP either with copper or fiber-optic cables
Consideration of Ex(i)-specific requirements
The construction of the system and I/O units permits a cabinet
design which satisfies the Ex(i)-specific requirements
Uniform installation and replacement for all I/O modules from
the ET 200M range, including Ex(i) modules (plug connection
for load power supply above the modules).
Design guidelines
The SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 design guidelines apply
when installing the AS 488 in PCS 7 cabinets (only with exclusively distributed SIMATIC I/Os).

Overview
The Siemens standard cabinet 8MC is the preferred basic cabinet. The Siemens standard cabinet 8MC is a sheet-steel cabinet
with rear panel and front door which can be assembled individually or also in rows with further cabinets of this type.
Side walls and partitions are optional, thus permitting variable
adaptation of the cabinet to different installation possibilities.
Up to four system units or six I/O units can be fitted in a cabinet
in conjunction with a DC 24 V or AC 230 V power supply assembly. System and I/O units can also be combined together within
a cabinet. The cables are introduced into the cabinet from below.

ET 200M I/O unit
Hot swapping
When ordering an ET 200M I/O station, it is additionally possible
to order the hot swapping function.
In an I & C system, it may be necessary to replace modules during operation for reasons of increased availability. The I/O subsystem for hot swapping is available for this as a version of the
ET 200M. This version permits replacement of modules without
having to switch off the associated ET 200M subsystem. The
functions of the inserted modules are not affected. The hot
swapping subsystem consists of backplane modules which can
be assembled to form a backplane of the required length, and a
matching mounting rail.

Overview
Complete ET 200M I/O stations are available for the cabinet
packaging system. The station includes the power supply, components for connection to the PROFIBUS-DP fieldbus (electrical
or optical design), selection of modules for hot swapping, and
wiring of load current connections.
The modular ET 200M I/O station with degree of protection IP 20
can be equipped with signal and function modules from the SIMATIC S7-300 automation system. These modules must be additionally ordered as required.
Power supply
The ET 200M I/O station can be operated with DC 24 V or
AC 120/230 V. With a DC 24 V supply, the I/O station is powered
directly from the cabinets power supply assembly, with an
AC 120/230 V supply, a PS 307 power supply module is additionally required upstream of the IM 153 interface module in the
I/O station in order to convert the AC 120/230 V into DC 24 V. The
DC 24 V input voltage provided by the power supply assembly
or the PS 307 power supply module is used to power the IM 153
and is the load power supply for the I/O modules.
The PS 307 power supply module is available in 5 A and 10 A
versions. The PS 307-1E version with a rated output current of
5 A is standard. If the configuration of the I/O station with
I/O modules results in a higher load, it is recommendable to use
the PS 307-1K with a rated output current of 10 A. Note, however, that the PS 307-1K width of 200 mm (compared to 80 mm
with the PS 307-1E) means that a maximum of six I/O modules
can be plugged onto the rail.
One fuse is fitted in the power supply assembly for each I/O station. With a DC 24 V supply, the IM 153 module and the L+/Mpower supply for I/O modules are fused together.
With an AC 120/230 V supply, the PS 307 power supply module
is fused. The L+/M voltage for the I/O modules is also obtained
from the PS 307.

Special bus modules are required for the hot swapping function.
In addition to the PS/IM bus module for the IM 153-1, IM 153-2
and IM 153-3 modules, these are the bus module 2 x 40 for accommodation of two I/O modules with a width of 40 mm each
and the bus module 1 x 80 for accommodation of one module
with a width of 80 mm. Up to four bus modules for I/O modules
can be plugged onto each rail in addition to the PS/IM bus module. Bus module covers can be ordered separately for unused
I/O slots.
Ex(i) design
The cable duct with the Ex(i) version is designed as standard in
blue. Ex process cables are routed separately from other cables
in the cable duct. Furthermore, a mechanical separation is required between the IM 153 module and the first Ex I/O module.
An Ex partition is fitted for the hot swapping function to guarantee the specified insulation distance between intrinsically-safe
and non-intrinsically-safe areas of the ET 200M distributed I/Os.
The DM 370 spacer module is used for this purpose if the hot
swapping function is not required.
Load power supply for I/O modules
The load power supply for the I/O modules is connected via
plugs located above the I/O modules. One plug is provided for
each I/O module. The load power supplies are available in versions for four or eight I/O modules. With fewer than four or eight
I/O modules, the unused plug connectors are supplied separately should subsequent installation of I/O modules become
necessary.

AS 488/TM system unit
DC 24 V or AC 120/230 V power supply: depending on the input voltage, the AS 488/TM can be equipped either with a
PS 407 power supply module (AC 120/230 V supply) or a
PS 405 power supply module (DC 24 V supply), each rated at
10 A. These supply the AS 488/TM modules with the DC 5 V
and DC 24 V operating voltages via the backplane bus. The
PS 405 and PS 407 power supply modules also contain the
backup batteries for buffering the time and date.
Supplementary system documentation consisting of a manual
