MultiFieldbus with SIMATIC

Easily use different fieldbus systems with one device. MultiFieldbus enables flexible communication via PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP protocols.

Using the SIMATIC S7-1500 controller provides you with top performance and built-in future-proofing.

The Scalable Periphery system is designed for universal use across a wide range of applications and industries.

SIMATIC MultiFieldbus provides flexible communication across PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP, allowing machine builders to adapt to diverse requirements without replacing I/O modules when customer protocols change. The module supports three Ethernet protocols in one unified solution, making machine data easily accessible to IT systems and simplifying integration. It also enables seamless configuration in TIA Portal for efficient engineering workflows.

Meet customer protocol needs with one device. Avoid replacing I/Os and flexibly support PROFINET, EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP to adapt your machines with less effort.

Use MultiFieldbus modules independently to support different regions without replacing I/Os. Benefit from devices available in IP20 to IP69K, giving you flexible protection levels for diverse machine environments.

Keep your systems connected with MultiFieldbus to enable seamless communication across your machines. Provide company-wide data access so information flows reliably to every level for better decisions and optimized processes.

The SIMATIC ET 200MP is a modular, high-density IP20 I/O system for distributed or centralized use. Get a fast response time with PROFINET IRT and reduce downtime with channel-specific diagnostics.

Optimize cabinet space with the SIMATIC ET 200SP, a powerful I/O system 50% narrower than comparable systems. Benefit from simple commissioning, scalability and multi-hot swapping for maximum flexibility.

These compact modules for outside‑cabinet installations are built for small installation spaces, can be used on moving machine parts and allow flexible installation in any mounting position.

The robust SIMATIC ET 200eco PN block I/O supports cabinet-free installation. Its metal housing provides up to IP69K protection for –40° C to 60° C environments. The powerful M12-L connector offers quick and easy installation.

The SIMATIC ET 200clean in IP69K is designed for hygiene‑critical areas. Its 360° cleanable, chemical‑resistant surface provides a high level of food safety. The perfect solution for food and pharmaceutical industries.

No, you don’t need to buy additional software. If you want to use the device in PROFINET, nothing changes. You can use the free-of-charge MultiFieldbus Configuration Tool (MFCT) to configure and parametrize your MultiFieldbus devices in any protocol. It also offers possibilities to support modules such as DALI, TM FAST, CM PtP and SIWAREX in your projects. In addition, the MFCT also enables a convenient mass firmware update of ET 200 devices.
