Features:
- Connects an M7-400 automation computer to an isolated PROFIBUS DP segment.
- Buffers controller and fieldbus data through 256 KB of dual-port memory.
- Supports standard DP transmission rates from 9.6 kbit/s through 12 Mbit/s.
The supplied hardware is the IF 964-DP 2AA00 execution with identification code 8CH.
It provides the deterministic communication path between the M7 real-time task and distributed I/O stations.
Network length, baud rate, connector termination and project data must be assessed as one system before commissioning.

- High-speed machine controllers use the interface to exchange cyclic data with remote PROFIBUS I/O.
- Process cells connect drives, valve islands and instrumentation to an M7-400 host over an established DP segment.
- Legacy control upgrades can retain existing fieldbus devices while the M7 computer hardware is serviced.
- The field side uses an electrically isolated RS-485 PROFIBUS connection.
- Standard DP rates from 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s are supported.
- Segment length falls from 1200 m at the lowest rate to 100 m at 12 Mbit/s.
- The submodule is intended for the SIMATIC M7-400 carrier environment.
- Connected stations must conform to PROFIBUS DP and use the controller project's device descriptions.
- The 2AA00 and 2AA01 order numbers require a deliberate hardware-compatibility check rather than substitution by appearance.
- The master project defines station addresses, baud rate and the cyclic process image.
- Both physical segment ends require active termination appropriate to the RS-485 network.
- The application exchanges fieldbus data through the documented 256 KB dual-port memory.
