Description
About the 6ES7964-2AA04-0AB0
About the 6ES7964-2AA04-0AB0
The Siemens 6ES7964-2AA04-0AB0 is the IF964-DP interface module for the SIMATIC S7-400, giving the CPU a built-in PROFIBUS DP master (default setting) or DP device port running up to 12 Mbit/s. It addresses up to 125 DP devices, depending on the CPU used, with an isolated interface and 1 W typical power loss.
Selection Notes
Fit IF964-DP when the S7-400 CPU needs a standalone PROFIBUS DP master for up to 125 devices without dedicating a separate CP443 communication processor; the default setting is DP master, but the module can be reconfigured as a DP device to hang the CPU off another master instead. Direct slave-to-slave data exchange and SYNC/FREEZE support matter for coordinated I/O updates across the DP segment.
