The Siemens 6GK1415-2BA10 is a gateway/interface module under the SIMATIC NET family, designed for linking the sensor/actuator bus system AS‑Interface (“AS-i”) with the field-bus system PROFIBUS DP. Its formal
title is “DP/AS-Interface LINK Advanced – single master”.Key points:It acts as a PROFIBUS DP slave and at the same time as an AS-Interface master, allowing the control system (via PROFIBUS) to
access I/O devices connected via AS-Interface.it can be powered from the AS-Interface line (AS-i Line 1) or optionally from an external 24 V DC supply;
typical current consumption from AS-i is max 250 mA at ~30 V.On PROFIBUS DP side, supports typical data rates (9.6 kbps up to 12 Mbps)
and cyclic I/O exchange; on the AS-i side supports digital and analog data via AS-Interface protocol.
In summary: The 6GK1415-2BA10 enables a PROFIBUS DP system
to integrate AS-Interface I/O devices (sensors/actuators)
effectively and with full diagnostics
and management features.
Frequently Asked Questions About 6GK1415-2BA10
Q1: What is the primary application of the 6GK1415-2BA10?
A1: This module is used when you have an AS-Interface (AS-i) network of simple devices (sensors, actuators) and you want to integrate them into a higher-level PROFIBUS DP network. The link module serves as the gateway (AS-i master) and presents
the AS-i I/O to the PROFIBUS DP system as a slave device.
Q2: What is the difference between single master and double master variants?
A2: The “single master” version (6GK1415-2BA10) supports one AS-i line and up to 62 slaves. The “double master” version (6GK1415-2BA20) supports two AS-i lines (for larger/slave-redundant systems)
and hence potentially more slaves or separate segments.
Q3: How many AS-Interface slaves can it support?
A3: In the typical “single master” configuration, it supports up to 62 AS-Interface slaves per AS-i line. If you use the “double master” variant (order no. 6GK1415-2BA20), two AS-i lines may be supported.
Q4: What communication speeds are supported on the PROFIBUS side?
A4: The device supports standard PROFIBUS DP speeds: 9.6 kbps, 19.2, 45.45, 93.75, 187.5, 500 kbps, 1.5 Mbps, 3 Mbps and 12 Mbps.
