Siemens 6GK1415-2AA01 AS-Interface Link Module

The Siemens SIMATIC NET DP/AS-Interface Link 20E, model 6GK1415-2AA01, is a DP/AS-Interface bridge that ties a PROFIBUS DP network to an AS-Interface bus, enabling AS‑i devices to be controlled from a DP master. As a DP/AS‑Interface Link 20E module with Master Profile M1e, it acts as the AS‑Interface master on the AS‑i side while participating in a PROFIBUS DP system, providing mapped data exchange between DP I/O and AS‑i slaves. The order number is 6GK1415-2AA01, and documentation confirms AS‑Interface Master support for AS‑i version 2.11 and lists the available master functions. Typical applications include integrating AS‑Interface sensors and actuators into existing DP networks in manufacturing automation, machine tooling, and packaging lines, allowing a single DP host to monitor and control AS‑i devices without separate controllers. This bridge supports network transitions between DP and AS‑Interface, delivering cohesive communication across two bus systems and simplifying diagnostics in integrated automation architectures.
