Operational Features
Three LED indicators provide immediate status feedback for operational state and bus health. The module supports message-oriented PLC-PLC communication with data payloads up to 64 bytes. Additionally, the DP connection mode handles up to 16 words in each direction.
System Integration
The 6ES5541-8AA11 mounts on a standard EN 50022-35 rail for straightforward installation. Galvanic isolation separates the PG/PLC interface from the SINEC L2 bus, protecting connected equipment. Therefore, technicians can integrate this processor into S5-90U, S5-95U, and S5-100U systems without complex modifications.Siemens 6ES5541-8AA11 SIMATIC S5 CP 541 L2 interface module. 24V DC, 0.3kg, IP20, SINEC L2 protocol.
