Siemens 6AV6671-5AE10-0AX0 Connectivity Box DP Plus

The Siemens 6AV6671-5AE10-0AX0 Connectivity Box DP Plus is a DP Plus connection box designed for Mobile Panels (MPI/PROFIBUS) to enable safe, seamless integration of Siemens SIMATIC mobile panels into MPI/PROFIBUS networks. It is powered from 24 V DC with a permissible range of 20.4 to 28.8 V and draws about 0.5 A (typical), corresponding to roughly 12 W of power. The unit provides three serial interfaces—one RS-232, one RS-422, and one RS-485 (up to 12 Mbit/s)—to connect external devices and controllers. Key safety and reliability features include hot swapping without interrupting the emergency-stop circuit, location identification, and STOP button monitoring, which support quick field replacements and safe operation in mobile-panel applications. The DP Plus box is identified by the part number 6AV6671-5AE10-0AX0 and is described specifically as a DP Plus connectivity box for mobile panels (MPI/PROFIBUS), highlighting its role in linking mobile operator interfaces with PROFIBUS MPI networks while preserving essential safety and control functions. Suitable for engineers seeking a compact, Siemens-branded solution for integrating mobile panels into industrial networks, this device emphasizes certified readiness for DP Plus configurations and reliable serial communication.
