Information About 6ES7158-0AA01-0XA0

The 6ES7158-0AA01-0XA0 is part of the Siemens SIMATIC DP/DP coupler family, developed to provide transparent and reliable data transfer between two PROFIBUS DP segments. It connects two DP networks electrically isolated from each other and functions as a slave on both sides. This allows data written by one DP master to be read by the other, and vice versa, ensuring synchronized data exchange. The module supports data transfer rates up to 12 Mbps and allows configuration of up to 244 bytes of input and output data per side. It requires no user program—data is exchanged cyclically after configuration using STEP 7 / TIA Portal. Diagnostic LEDs indicate communication and status, simplifying commissioning and maintenance.

Key Features:

• Design: DP/DP coupler for connecting two PROFIBUS DP networks.
• Communication: Operates as a slave on both DP segments.
• Speed: Supports PROFIBUS data rates up to 12 Mbps.
• Data Capacity: Up to 244 bytes of I/O data per side.
• Integration: Configured using STEP 7 / TIA Portal with no user programming needed.
• Isolation: Electrically isolates the two DP networks for system safety.
• Diagnostics: LED indicators provide communication and fault status.
• Application Range: Ideal for system integration, distributed automation, and process control.

The 6ES7158-0AA01-0XA0 delivers the simplicity, reliability, and transparency required for seamless data exchange between two PROFIBUS DP networks.
