Oct. 20, 2022 - Siemens is pleased to announce the launch of an interface module for ethernet-based fieldbuses. Designed to support PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and Modbus protocols, the MultiFieldbus Interface Module IM155-6MF High Feature can be used on a wide range of Ethernet controllers and is ideal for the following applications:
- Applications that, due to end user preference, occasionally use other Ethernet-based systems in addition to PROFINET
- Applications with a high, flexible demand for functions, as well as a large station expansion of up to 64 modules (max. 1 024 IO signals). In addition, the station can be expanded by as many as 16 IP67 modules of the SIMATIC ET 200AL series using BA-Send/BU-Send
- Applications that - until now - exclusively relied on Modbus TCP or EtherNet/IP controllers ex: for energy data acquisition via Modbus TCP and AI Energy Meter modules
Configuration for EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP is managed by the MultiFieldbus Configuration Tool (MFCT).
