SIMATIC MultiFieldbus

Why MultiFieldbus?

SIMATIC MultiFieldbus enables flexible communication among different fieldbus systems using PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus/TCP protocols so you can meet varied machine requirements without the hassle of replacing IOs when customer protocols change. Use one MultiFieldbus for three Ethernet protocols as a universal solution for your automation projects.

With the MultiFieldbus, you can use the optimal protocol for your application and make the machine data accessible to IT regardless of the type of fieldbus. Machine builders are able to tailor their machines to requirements without complex adjustments to the IOs. The SIMATIC ET 200 MultiFieldbus interface modules can exchange data with the controllers via various protocols. The SIMATIC ET 200SP can communicate simultaneously via various protocols.

The MultiFieldbus for communication via the PROFINET protocol can be configured directly in Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal).

Key benefits

Use any Ethernet protocol

Regardless of which Ethernet protocols your customers need (PROFINET, Ethernet/IP or Modbus/TCP), you can save yourself the hassle of replacing the IOs and can flexibly meet the requirements placed on your machines.

Overcome bus limits

The MultiFieldbus interface modules can be used independently. Save yourself the hassle of replacing the Ios when exporting machines to different regions. MultiFieldbus devices are available in protection classes IP20 and IP67.

Distribute data efficiently

Keep your systems connected with the Multifieldbus. Distribute your data so it can be used at all levels in the company.
