Request a quote and current... Price & Availability It provides a PROFIBUS DP interface that enables seamless integration of distributed I/O devices, drives, and other field devices into the control system. With a transmission rate of up to 12 Mbps, this module ensures fast and reliable data exchange, making it suitable for demanding industrial automation applications. This module is engineered to operate in harsh industrial environments, with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 60°C and a storage temperature range of -40°C to 70°C. It features a compact design that fits into standard S7-400 racks, and its low power consumption of 0.3A at 5V DC minimizes heat generation. The SL2SPCW-N supports both PROFIBUS DP master and slave configurations, offering flexibility in system design. The SL2SPCW-N is a genuine Siemens product, ensuring compatibility and reliability. It is ideal for use in manufacturing plants, process control systems, and infrastructure projects where robust communication is critical. The module is available as a new original part with a warranty, providing peace of mind for system integrators and maintenance teams. The Siemens SL2SPCW-N is a high-performance communication module designed for use in SIMATIC S7-400 programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Basic Product Information Supports both master and slave operation modes Compact design for S7-400 racks Low power consumption (0.3A at 5V DC) Wide operating temperature range (0°C to 60°C) Genuine Siemens OEM part with full warranty PROFIBUS DP interface with transmission rates up to 12 Mbps Technical Specifications Version & Model Difference The SL2SPCW-N is an enhanced version of the earlier SL2SPCW module. The 'N' suffix indicates improved firmware with faster data handling and better diagnostic capabilities. It also features enhanced EMC immunity and updated firmware for compatibility with newer S7-400 CPUs (e.g., CPU 412-5H, CPU 414-5H). The older version lacked support for certain PROFIBUS DP V2 features, which are now included in the -N variant. Application Scenarios Can the SL2SPCW-N be used as a PROFIBUS DP master? Yes, the module can operate as a DP master or slave, depending on the configuration in STEP 7. Is the SL2SPCW-N compatible with all S7-400 CPUs? It is compatible with most S7-400 CPUs, but we recommend checking the specific CPU manual for backplane bus capacity and firmware requirements. What is the power consumption of the SL2SPCW-N? The module consumes 0.3A at 5V DC, which is supplied via the backplane bus from the PLC power supply. What is the maximum transmission rate of the SL2SPCW-N? The SL2SPCW-N supports transmission rates from 9.6 kbps up to 12 Mbps, with auto-negotiation for optimal performance.
