The Siemens 6GK1503-2CC00 is a high-performance optical link module designed to facilitate robust and efficient communication within industrial automation systems. This module is part of the PROFIBUS OLM/G11-1300V4.0 series and is engineered to provide a reliable interface for data exchange over large distances.

Equipped with one RS485 and one glass fibre optic (FOC) interface, the 6GK1503-2CC00 is capable of handling transfer rates ranging from 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of industrial communication requirements. The glass FOC interface utilises two BFOC sockets and is optimised for 1300 nm wavelength, single-mode operation, which allows for a maximum wire length of up to 15 km with minimal signal attenuation.

The module's compact design, measuring 39.5 x 74.5 x 112 mm and weighing 340 g, makes it suitable for space-constrained environments. It can be easily mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail or directly onto a wall, providing flexibility in installation. Additionally, the 6GK1503-2CC00 features ring redundancy capabilities, enhancing the reliability and uptime of the communication network.

This optical link module is designed to withstand challenging industrial environments, operating within a temperature range of 0 to 60°C and conforming to IP40 protection standards. It is also compliant with various industry standards and approvals, including marine classification associations, ensuring its suitability for a broad spectrum of industrial applications.

The Siemens 6GK1503-2CC00 is an essential component for industrial networks requiring long-distance data transmission with high integrity and reliability. It is an ideal solution for system integrators and engineers looking to optimise their PROFIBUS networks for performance and durability.

What is the purpose of the Optical Link Module?

The Optical Link Module is designed to extend the transmission distance of PROFIBUS networks using optical fibre technology, which is particularly useful in large-scale industrial environments where electromagnetic interference can be an issue.

Can this module be used in redundant ring topologies?

Yes, the module supports ring redundancy, which is a network configuration that ensures communication continuity in case of a link failure, enhancing the reliability of the network.

What type of fibre optic cables is compatible with this module?

The module is compatible with glass fibre optic cables with a core diameter of 10/125 µm or 9/125 µm, which are standard for single-mode fibres.

What is the maximum transmission distance supported by this module?

The module can support a maximum transmission distance of up to 15 kilometres on glass fibre optic cables, depending on the cable's attenuation factor.

What are the power supply requirements for this module?

The module requires a DC supply voltage with a rated value of 24 V, and it can operate within a range of 18.8 to 28.8 V DC.

Is the module suitable for use in harsh industrial environments?

Yes, the module has a conformal coating and is designed to withstand harsh industrial environments, including exposure to biologically, chemically, and mechanically active substances as per EN 60721-3-3 standards.

What type of electrical connections does this module support?

The module supports a 9-pin Sub-D socket for network components or terminal equipment, a 2-pole terminal block for measuring devices, and a 5-pole terminal block for power supply and signalling contact.

How is the module mounted for installation?

The module can be mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail or directly onto a wall, providing flexibility for installation in various industrial settings.

Does the module have any certifications for marine applications?

The module has certifications from several marine classification associations, ensuring its suitability for use in maritime applications subject to the specific certification requirements.

What is the significance of the module's IP rating?

The module has an IP40 rating, which indicates protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm, such as wires, but does not provide protection against liquids.
