Siemens S5-135U/155U appendix Interface Modules

Interface Modules 7

Chapter Overview

Various interface modules (IMs) are available for communication between a central controller and expansion units, and between expansion units. Interface modules in the central controller are known as EU interface modules; those inserted in an EU are known as CC interface modules.

This chapter describes the EU interface modules:

SIM 300-3, IM 300-5, IM 301-3, IM 301-5 and IM 304 as well as the CC interface modules:

SIM 312-3, IM 312-5, IM 310 and IM 314

Other IMs such as the IM 307-IM 317 and the IM 308-IM 318 are described in separate manuals (see Catalog ST 54.1). The IM 306 CC interface module is described in the S5-115U PLC manual.

A general overview of the applications of individual IMs can be found in Chapter 2: ªCentralized and Distributed Configuration of a Programmable Controller.º
