The Interface Module Siemens 6ES7155-5AA01-0AB0 is a high-performance PROFINET interface module designed for the modular ET 200MP I/O system. This robust component serves as the central communication unit, capable of connecting and managing up to 12 input/output modules without needing an additional power supply, with its capacity expanding to 30 modules when one is added. Its advanced PROFINET interface, designated X1, incorporates a built-in 2-port switch with two RJ45 sockets. 

The pin assignment for these ports is intelligently configured; port P1 is set as data terminal equipment, while port P2 uses a switched, crossed assignment, with auto-negotiation enabling automatic crossover functionality for simplified cabling.

A key strength of the 6ES7155-5AA01-0AB0 Siemens PROFINET IO-Device Interface Module lies in its support for sophisticated industrial network features. It fully supports Media Redundancy Protocol for resilient network topologies and Isochronous Real-Time communication, achieving cycle times as low as 0.25 milliseconds for highly synchronized automation tasks. This makes the device exceptionally reliable for demanding applications. Furthermore, the Siemens SIMATIC ET 200MP 6ES7155-5AA01-0AB0 includes comprehensive functionality for identification and maintenance data, supporting I&M0 to I&M3, and facilitates a Fast Startup of 500ms.

The design of the Siemens ET 200MP IO-Device Interface Module 6ES7155-5AA01-0AB0 also emphasizes practical integration, featuring a dedicated connection socket for its 24 V DC supply voltage located adjacent to its PROFINET ports. This combination of high-density module support, fast and deterministic performance, and flexible networking options establishes the SIEMENS 6ES7155-5AA01-0AB0 I/O System as a versatile and powerful cornerstone for building efficient and scalable distributed I/O systems within a Totally Integrated Automation environment.
