Before startup, you must configure and parameterize the modules of the ET 200B distributed I/O station.

4.1 Configuration Options
You can configure and parameterize the ET 200B modules described in this manual as DP slaves:
with COM ET 200 version 4.x or higher – version 4.0 or higher: digital modules – version 4.1 or higher: analog modules
with COM ET 200 Windows version 1.0 or higher
with STEP 7 version x.0 or higher – version 2.0 or higher: digital modules – version 3.0 or higher: analog modules
directly by means of configuration and parameterization telegrams (for DP masters from Siemens that do not belong to the SIMATIC S5/S7/M7 automation system and other-vendor DP masters).
The analog modules of ET 200B can be operated as S7 slaves in conjunction with SIMATIC S7/ M7 and STEP 7 (V3.0 and higher). This means that all the functions of the central S7 I/O modules are also at your disposal for the ET 200B analog modules.

4.2 Requirements for Configuration
COM ET 200 V4.x, COM ET 200 Windows and STEP 7 require a type file for each ET 200B module (DP slave). The type file is a record of all the properties of the module concerned.
You do not need a type file to operate ET 200B analog modules as S7 slaves.
Before you start working with the software, check that the type file of the ET 200B module is installed in a type-file directory recognized by the soft-ware. The names of the type files are listed in Appendix A.1.
If you do not have a type file for ET 200B, you can fetch the type file you need via modem. The number to dial is +49 (911) 737972.
You do not need a device master data file (GSD file) unless you are going to use ET 200B with a DP master that cannot process the type file. The GSD file contains all the slave-specific properties.
The format of the GSD file is defined in EN 50170, Part 3. The contents of the GSD files are described in Appendix A.2.
You can order the GSD file on diskette (Order No. 6ES7 190-1AA00-0AA0) or fetch it via modem. The modem number to dial is +49 (911) 737972.

Configuration and Parameterization

There are a number of type file versions for the ET 200B modules; the ver-sion you need depends on the parameterization software and the master.
The type file version is indicated by the seventh character in the type file name (example: SIxxxxAD.200), ”xxxx” is the module’s manufacturer ID.
The 8th character in the type file name indicates the language:
D = German, E = English, F = French, I = Italian, S = Spanish,
X = non-language-specific (example: SIxxxxAE.200 for an English type file).
The type file versions and their applications are listed in the table below.

4.3 Where to Find the Requisite Information?
Chapters 5 through 8 contain information on configuration, parameterization and diagnostics that you will need if you are working with the latest type files under COM ET 200 Windows or STEP 7 (see Table 4-1: gray fields).
If you use COM ET 200 Windows or STEP 7 to configure and parameterize ET 200B modules, the graphical user interfaces and the integral online help systems of these programs provide additional support.
The manual ET200 Distributed I/O System (Order No. 6ES5 998-3ES12) con-tains general information on working with COM ET 200 Windows.
Basic information on configuring and parameterizing distributed I/O with STEP 7 is contained in the user manual entitled Standard Software for S7 and M7, STEP 7.
If you configure and parameterize ET 200B analog modules with
COM ET 200 Windows and the type file SIxxxxAE.200, you will find the requisite supplementary information in Appendix E of this manual.
If you configure and parameterize ET 200B modules with COM ET 200 ver-sion 4.x, you will find the information you need in Appendix D of this manual.
If you use configuration and parameterization telegrams to operate ET 200B, e.g. CP 5431 as DP master, you need the details of the layout of the configu-ration and parameterization telegram, which is module-specific (see Appen-dix B and C).
