This Product Information contains important information concerning the “ET 200iS Distribute I/O
Station” Manual, order no. 6ES7 151-2AA00-8BA0. Its is to be understood as separate part of
the documentation, and in case of any uncertainty overrides all other information in manuals
and catalogs.
Special information
This product information refers to PROFIBUS RS 485-IS, and includes a
description of PROFIBUS DP Ex i.
Differences between PROFIBUS RS 485-IS and PROFIBUS DP Ex i are
documented separately.
Chapter overview
Fields of application
The RS 485-IS Coupler is used to isolate the intrinsically safe
PROFIBUS RS 485-IS from PROFIBUS-DP which is not intrinsically safe.
Note
You may connect to the RS 485-IS Coupler:
S Up to 31 stations (Field Devices RS 485-IS) with PROFIBUS RS 485-IS
interface,
or
S Up to 16 stations (ET 200iS stations) with PROFIBUS DP Ex i interface.
Mixed mode within the same segment is not permitted!
Structure
S You need an RS 485-IS Coupler in order to be able to operate RS 485-IS field
devices or an ET 200iS in potentially explosive atmospheres (see and ).
S You need two RS 485-IS Couplers to amplify data signals on the bus and
couple bus segments (see ).
The repeater function by means of two RS 485-IS Couplers is required:
– When the number of stations operated in the Ex area exceeds the approved
number
– When the maximum cable length is exceeded at a segment in the
Ex area
– To couple a PROFIBUS RS 485-IS segment to a
PROFIBUS DP Ex i segment
S The RS 485-IS Coupler also allows you to connect devices to PROFIBUS RS
485-IS which can be operated only in Zone 2, e.g. operating panels (see ).

Installation Position
The RS 485-IS Coupler can be mounted vertically or horizontally. The maximum
ambient temperature in vertical mounting position is 40_ C.
Open Equipment
The RS 485-IS Coupler is an of the open equipment class, i.e. it may only be
installed in lockable or mechanically secured enclosures, cabinets or electrical
switch rooms. Access to these enclosures, cabinets or electrical switch rooms is
only permitted to instructed or authorized personnel.
Installation technique
The RS 485-IS Coupler is mounted on a DIN rail for S7 installation technology.
Make allowances for trouble–free installation by maintaining a clearance of 40 mm
at the bottom and the top of the module.
For further information relating to the S7 installation technique for modules, refer to
the S7-300 Automation System, Installation Installation Manual.
Note
The RS 485-IS Coupler does not transfer signals on the S7 backplane bus.
Installation location
The RS 485-IS Coupler may be operated in potentially explosive atmospheres of
Zone 2, provided it is mounted in suitable enclosures. The PROFIBUS RS 485-IS
bus cable may be routed from the potentially explosive area to Zone 1.
Components Required
S Profile rail for S7 installation technology
S RS 485-IS Coupler
The order numbers are found in Chapter 9.
Installation
1. Mount the S7 profile rail onto a solid carrier.
2. Suspend the RS 485-IS Coupler onto the S7 profile rail, and then swivel it
downwards.
3. Screw-tighten the RS 485-IS Coupler.
Removal
You remove the RS 485-IS Couplers in reverse sequence.
Before you remove an RS 485-IS Coupler that is in operation, switch off the
24 V DC power supply to the coupler.
Note
Before you start wiring the system, please note the information in “General rules
and regulations for wiring” in Chapter 6 of the Distributed i/O device ET 200iS
Manual.

Application
In large–scale systems you may have to install the RS 485-IS Coupler with
ungrounded reference potential, for example, for monitoring short–circuit to
ground. This applies in particular to systems operated in the chemical industry or in
power plants, for example.
Wiring Diagram
Figure 4 shows an installation of the RS 485-IS Coupler with ungrounded reference
potential. If you choose not to ground the reference potential of the 24 V power of
your RS 485-IS Coupler, you need to remove the jumper between the M
terminals and system ground. As long as this jumper is removed, the reference
potential of the RS 485-IS Coupler is connected internally to the profile rail and the
grounding conductor via a capacitor.

2. Place the shielding of the bus cable underneath the strain relief, and then
screw–tighten this.
3. Terminate your bus cable at the screw terminals A and B. Make sure of the
correct polarity (e.g. green wire to terminal A, red wire to terminal B).
Requirements
After you have completed the assembly and wiring of the RS 485-IS Coupler and
after you have switched on the power supply, the device is ready for operation.

Introduction
In order to be able to use distributed i/O devices in Ex area Zone 1, the
PROFIBUS DP must be installed intrinsically safe. You can separate the
intrinsically safe PROFIBUS RS 485 IS from PROFIBUS DP with the help of the
RS 485-IS Coupler.
Safety Data
At the RS 485-IS Coupler, you may only connect field devices which are certified
for operation on a PROFIBUS RS 485-IS interface or ET 200iS with PROFIBUS
DP Ex i interface:
S Up to 31 stations (Field Devices RS 485-IS) with PROFIBUS RS 485-IS
interface,
S Up to 16 stations (ET 200iS stations) with PROFIBUS DP Ex i interface.
Mixed mode within the same segment is not permitted!
