Overview
The 6ES7193-6MT15-2BA0 is a Siemens SIMATIC ET 200SP BaseCarrier, part of the BaseCarrier series, designed for 15 mm I/O modules with BU type A0 and bridged to the left. It is supplied in a pack quantity of 10 units and has dimensions of 15 x 117 mm (WxH). The part is currently in active production.
Function & operation
This BaseCarrier serves as the mechanical and electrical backbone for mounting ET 200SP I/O modules in a control cabinet. The BU type A0 designation indicates the module's bus adapter variant, which determines the backplane bus routing and addressing scheme. The 'bridged to the left' configuration means the carrier passes the backplane bus to the left side, enabling daisy-chaining of additional carriers in the same rack. The 15 mm width matches the standard form factor for ET 200SP electronic modules, ensuring a consistent mounting pitch across the I/O assembly.
Applications
BaseCarriers of this type are used within SIMATIC ET 200SP distributed I/O systems, which are deployed in machine-level and process automation across industries such as automotive, food and beverage, packaging, and material handling. The carrier provides the mounting base and backplane connectivity for digital and analog I/O modules, allowing the system to be tailored to the specific I/O count and signal types required by the application.
