Technical Overview

8-slot active backplane for SIMATIC S7-1500/ET 200MP, supporting hot-swapping and flexible I/O configuration.

Key Features

  • Increases plant availability via reaction-free hot swapping of I/O modules during operation.
  • System remains in RUN mode when replacing I/O modules.
  • Provides reserve capacity for future expansions.
  • Features simple, tool-free installation.
  • Compatible with S7-1500 standard mounting rails, eliminating special accessories.
  • Scalable and space-saving design (this is the 8-slot version).
  • Configurable via GSD file for use with all PROFINET IO controllers.
  • Accommodates both 35 mm and 25 mm wide modules.
  • Allows gaps with any number of free slots at any position during equipping.
  • Active Product status.
  • Supports Isochronous mode.
  • Enables Prioritized startup.
  • Engineering with STEP 7 TIA Portal configurable from version V16 / V17.
  • Engineering with STEP 7 configurable from version V5.6 and higher.

Increase of plant availability through reaction-free hot swapping of I/O modules during operation; the system remains in RUN mode when replacing one or more I/O modules.

Industrial Applications

1. High-Availability Process Control Systems

This backplane is ideal for critical industrial process control applications where system downtime must be minimized. Its hot-swapping capability allows for replacement of I/O modules without interrupting operations.

Problem Solved

Prevents production halts and costly downtime in continuous processes by enabling module replacement during operation without taking the system offline.

2. Remote I/O in Harsh Environments

Given its wide operating temperature range (-30 to 60 °C horizontal, -30 to 40 °C vertical) and high altitude support (up to 5000m), this backplane is suitable for distributed I/O systems in demanding environmental conditions.

Problem Solved

Ensures reliable operation of I/O modules in outdoor installations, unconditioned industrial cabinets, or high-altitude locations where temperature extremes and atmospheric pressure variations are common.

3. Flexible and Scalable Machine Automation

The 8-slot design, support for both 35mm and 25mm modules, and the ability to leave empty slots for future expansion make it ideal for modular machine designs that require flexibility and scalability.

Problem Solved

Provides a modular and expandable I/O infrastructure for machines, allowing for easy configuration changes, future upgrades, and integration of different module types without redesigning the entire backplane.
