Product Type
PROFIBUS optical link module

01 Product Overview

6GK1503-2CA00 is a SIMATIC NET PROFIBUS OLM/P11 V4.0 optical link module. Siemens documentation identifies one RS-485 interface and one plastic-fiber interface with two BFOC sockets, plus a signaling contact and measuring output. It is intended for optical PROFIBUS segments using compatible POF or PCF fiber and supports ring-redundancy functions documented for the OLM family.

02 Commercial Status

Official lifecycle Product Cancellation
Procurement approach Verify the V4.0 hardware, plastic-fiber type, BFOC connectors and successor suitability before replacement.

04 System Fit and Applications

Optical PROFIBUS links

Converts between an electrical RS-485 segment and plastic-fiber media.

EMC-sensitive routes

Provides optical isolation for network paths exposed to electrical interference.

Ring redundancy

Supports documented OLM optical ring-redundancy arrangements.

05 Compatibility and Procurement Checks

  • Confirm the complete -2CA00 order number and V4.0 hardware before selecting the -2CA01 successor.
  • Verify whether the installed fiber is POF or PCF and confirm the permitted link length.
  • Match BFOC connectors, optical budget, topology and PROFIBUS data rate.
  • Check the 24 V DC supply range, signaling contact and measuring-output wiring.
  • Record DIP-switch settings and network topology before removing the installed OLM.

06 Lifecycle Note

Siemens identifies 6GK1503-2CA00 as a cancelled product and names 6GK1503-2CA01 as the successor. Successor use still requires a review of fiber type, connectors, topology and installed configuration.

07 Frequently Asked Questions

Which interfaces are provided?

One PROFIBUS RS-485 interface and one plastic-fiber optical interface with two BFOC sockets.

What fiber distances are documented?

Siemens documents up to 400 m with PCF and up to 80 m with POF under the stated fiber conditions.

What supply is required?

The module uses 24 V DC, with a documented range of 18.8 to 28.8 V.

What are the physical dimensions and weight?

Siemens specifies 39.5 x 112 x 74.5 mm and approximately 340 g.

Is 6GK1503-2CA01 automatically interchangeable?

It is the listed successor, but the installed fiber, topology, settings and connectors must be reviewed before replacement.
