Installation conditions for motor starters
When using the ET 200SP motor starter, please follow the following installation conditions:
Installation location
The motor starter can be installed vertically or horizontally.
The installation position should be aligned with the installation guide rail. The allowable temperature range in the environment depends on the installation location:
– 60°C: Horizontal installation position
– 50°C: Vertical installation position. Additionally, the current carrying capacity of the ET 200SP components needs to be taken into account.
For the vertical installation position, please use the end fixing frame “8WA1808” at both ends of the ET 200SP station:
• Install the guide rails. Use one of the following guide rails:
– 35×15 mm DIN rail, in accordance with DIN EN 60715
– 35×7.5 mm DIN rail, in accordance with DIN EN 60715
– SIMATIC S7 Installation Rails

• The current carrying capacity of the ET 200SP station. The current carrying capacity refers to the current load that can be carried by the power bus and power supply bus of the ET 200SP station. Depending on the environmental conditions and installation location, fan devices or additional mechanical fixation devices must be considered.
Mechanical support: Use mechanical support in the following situations:
When using a 15 mm installation guide rail for the installation of a single motor starter, the motor starter will not be directly installed next to the guide rail in the system.
Vertical installation position
• Applications that comply with shipbuilding standards in all installation positions equipped with 7.5 mm and 15 mm installation rails
Design an interference-free motor starter
When performing interference-free operation on the ET 200SP station in accordance with the IEC 60947-4-2 standard, a placeholder module needs to be used before the motor starter. However, on the right side of the motor starter, no placeholder module needs to be inserted.

Installation conditions for motor starters
Distributed I/O System 78 System Manual, 05/2021, A5E03576855-AK On the standard installation rail between the previous module and the SIMATIC ET 200SP motor starter, the following placeholder module should be used:
BU cover plate 15 mm:
6ES7133-6CV15-1AM0 (with BaseUnit 6ES7193-6BP00-0BA0) To operate the unused BaseUnit together with the ET 200SP station, an outer cover must be provided for the open-ended BaseUnit plug contacts (power connector, power bus connector, and backplane bus connector). Additionally, this cover can prevent the plug contacts from accumulating dust. The BU cover plate can be ordered as an accessory.
