Description
Siemens 6GK1503-3CB00
SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS OLM/G12 V4.0 | PROFIBUS Optical Link Module | 1 RS-485 Interface + 2 Glass Fiber-Optic Interfaces | 4 BFOC Connectors
Product Detailed Description
The Siemens 6GK1503-3CB00 is a SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS OLM/G12 V4.0 Optical Link Module designed to connect PROFIBUS devices through glass fiber-optic cables. It provides one electrical RS-485 interface and two optical interfaces with four BFOC/ST connectors, allowing the construction of fiber-optic PROFIBUS networks.The module supports PROFIBUS transmission rates from 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s and is designed for standard optical transmission distances of up to 2,850 m, depending on the fiber type and installation conditions. It also features a signaling contact and measuring output for diagnostics and network monitoring.With 24 V DC power supply, ring redundancy functionality, and compact DIN-rail or wall-mount installation, the OLM/G12 V4.0 is suitable for extending PROFIBUS networks across industrial facilities and electrically noisy environments.
