PROFIBUS DP slave for S7-200 racks
The Siemens 6ES7277-0AA22-0XA0 is a PROFIBUS DP slave module that plugs into the S7-200 expansion bus, giving the CPU a fieldbus connection to a DP master. It supports both PROFIBUS DP and MPI protocols, with automatic baud rate detection from 9.6 kbit/s up to 12 Mbit/s.
Bus topology and node limits
A single segment supports up to 32 stations; the full network can address 126 nodes, of which up to 99 can be EM 277 modules. The RS-485 interface handles cable runs from 100 m to 1200 m, with the maximum distance depending on the selected transmission speed. Node addresses are set via rotary switches on the module face, covering 0 to 99. One connection is reserved for OP communication and one for PG communication, leaving up to four free for data exchange with the DP master.
