Siemens 6GK Series Communication Module for Use with SIMATIC S7-ET 200SP to Industrial Ethernet, SINAUT ST7

This communication module connects a SIMATIC S7-ET 200SP to Industrial Ethernet and integrates telecontrol protocols including SINAUT ST7, IEC 60870-5-104 and DNP3 for control-centre communication. It supports IPv4/IPv6 networking, SNMP, DHCP and secure email, and offers time synchronisation via NTP. The unit requires a bus adapter for physical connection and can be configured with STEP 7 Professional V14 (TIA Portal) or higher. It is suited to industrial automation environments where Ethernet gateway and protocol conversion are required.

• 10 to 100Mbit/s port speeds for efficient data throughput
• 32 simultaneous multi-protocol connections for diverse nodes
• 100000 event buffer capacity for uninterrupted data logging
• 24V DC operation with 6W power loss for low-power integration
• IEC, ATEX and IECEx approvals for hazardous-location compatibility

• Used with SCADA systems via IEC60870-5-104 connections
• Suitable for Telecontrol Server Basic and ST7 control centres
• Ideal for integrating S7-ET200SP devices into Industrial Ethernet
• Can be used for remote access with SINEMA Remote Connect support
• Used for multi-protocol gateway functions including DNP3

Time is synchronised from an NTP server or from a connected control centre.

The Interface uses the ET 200SP bus adapter with RJ45, FC or SCRJ connectors and an integrated switch.

It supports up to 16 S7 communication connections and 16 OP connections.

Operational ambient temperature ranges are -30 to +50°C for vertical installation and -30 to +60°C for horizontally arranged busbars.

The unit supports SNMPv1/v3, DCP, LLDP, MIB support and web-based diagnostics via the ET 200SP CPU.
