NEW 6ES7155-6AR00-0AN0

The 6ES7155-6AR00-0AN0 is a SIMATIC ET 200SP interface module, specifically the IM 155-6 PN HS (High Speed) model, designed for high-performance communication in industrial automation systems via the PROFINET protocol.

This module serves as a critical interface for connecting distributed peripheral modules within the ET 200SP system, enabling fast and reliable data exchange in demanding automation environments. It supports a maximum of 32 peripheral modules and 16 ET 200AL modules, making it suitable for medium to large-scale distributed setups where high-speed communication is essential.

In terms of electrical specifications, it operates on a 24V DC power supply with a voltage range of 19.2V to 28.8V DC, featuring protection mechanisms such as reverse polarity protection and short-circuit protection to ensure durability in industrial conditions. The typical power consumption is around 2.1W, with a backplane bus current draw of approximately 100mA at 5V DC.

A key highlight of the IM 155-6 PN HS is its high-speed PROFINET communication capabilities, supporting data transfer rates up to 100 Mbit/s (full-duplex) via its integrated 2-port switch, which simplifies network topology and enhances communication efficiency. It also offers advanced functionalities like precise time synchronization (supporting PROFINET IRT, Isochronous Real-Time) for applications requiring tightly coordinated operations, such as motion control or high-speed manufacturing processes.

The module supports hot swapping of peripheral modules, allowing for maintenance or replacement without interrupting the overall system operation, thus minimizing downtime. Configuration and commissioning are streamlined through Siemens’ TIA Portal software, ensuring seamless integration into the SIMATIC automation ecosystem.

With its compact design tailored for the ET 200SP system, it fits standard mounting rails, facilitating easy installation in control cabinets. This module is ideal for industries such as automotive, electronics manufacturing, and high-precision machinery, where high-speed, real-time communication between distributed I/O and central controllers is crucial for optimal performance.
