Interface module for ET 100U
SIMATIC S5 I/Os / ET 100U
Interface module for ET 100U
The interface module for ET 100U, 6DS1 327-8AA, is a double-
height compact subassembly. The front panel width is 30.48 mm 
(2 standard slots).
The module has 2 base plugs for the I/O bus interface and the 
power supply, as well as a front plug (4-contact male connector) 
with screw terminals for lines 1 and 2. 
ET 100U electronic terminators, ER 701-2 and ER 701-3 expan-
sion racks and EU 183U, EU 185U and EU 186U expansion units 
can be connected to each line in any order. The total cable 
length up to the last device must not exceed 3000 m.
The front panel of the interface module has a slot for inserting a 
configuration EPROM submodule. This is required when con-
necting ET 100U electronic terminators.
Mode of operation
Up to 3 interface modules 6DS1 327-8AA can be inserted into 
any I/O bus slots in an AS 235 automation system. Each module 
occupies several module numbers.
The interface modules adapt the I/O bus interface to the serial 
SIMATIC S5 interface. In this manner, analog and digital input/
output modules of the ET 100U electronic terminator or the 
S5-115U, S5-135U and S5-155U programmable controllers can 
be connected to an AS 235 automation system.
If SIMATIC analog input modules are used, linearization of the 
characteristic and compensation of the cold junction tempera-
ture must be carried out by the user for non-linear transmitters 
and thermocouples.
Following application of the supply voltage after briefly switching 
off the mode switch on the module and following elimination of 
an interruption in the transmission cable on one of the two lines, 
the interface module carries out a configuration operation in 
which it stores an image of the connected SIMATIC S5 periph-
eral devices and used I/O modules in its main memory.
The configuration data for the connected SIMATIC S5 expansion 
units are determined by reading the configuration lists in the 
expansion units, and for the ET 100U electronic terminator by 
scanning the configuration EPROM submodule generated by 
the user. The configuration data are the reference data for the 
interface module.
The AS 235 automation system communicates with the 
SIMATIC S5 peripheral devices via an intermediate memory on 
the interface module. Both the automation system and the pro-
cessor of the interface module store transfer data in this mem-
ory.
The processor of the interface module cyclically processes the 
connected SIMATIC S5 I/O modules, transfers the output data 
entered by the automation system to the SIMATIC S5 output 
modules and updates the input area in the intermediate memory 
by scanning the SIMATIC S5 input modules.
Data transfer between the interface module and the SIMATIC S5 
peripheral devices is carried out in half-duplex operation. The 
initiative always originates in the interface module.
The data are protected by 1 or 2 test bytes depending on the set 
transmission rate (cyclic BGH code).
If a plug on any SIMATIC S5 device is disconnected, the trans-
mission line to the other devices is not interrupted (party line).
