The Siemens 6ES7158-0AD01-0XA0 is a robust DP/DP coupler designed to link two separate PROFIBUS DP networks, enabling seamless and deterministic data exchange between two different master systems. It functions as a slave module on both networks, providing electrical isolation to enhance system stability and protect connected devices. This coupler supports high-speed data transmission up to 12 Mbit/s and allows for the transfer of up to 244 bytes of I/O data. Its simple configuration via a GSD file makes it an ideal solution for modular machine designs and for integrating different automation segments within a larger plant architecture.
