Features:
- Industrial Ethernet and PROFIBUS data are bridged through one PROFINET IO device and DPV1 master.
- The RJ45 and isolated RS485 interfaces keep the two physical networks separate.
- A removable C-PLUG stores the gateway configuration outside the device electronics.
Siemens
6GK1411-5AB00 is a SIMATIC NET IE/PB Link PN IO gateway that connects Industrial Ethernet controllers with PROFIBUS DP devices.
Process data entering
6GK1411-5AB00 through its 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet interface is mapped to the isolated PROFIBUS master interface for cyclic exchange.
The removable C-PLUG of
6GK1411-5AB00 keeps the saved configuration available for transfer to compatible replacement hardware.
The Siemens 6GK1411-5AB00 IE/PB Link PN IO Gateway may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Ethernet-to-PROFIBUS signal path
- Ethernet Input: The 10/100 Mbit/s RJ45 port receives PROFINET IO process data.
- PROFIBUS Output: The isolated RS485 interface exchanges cyclic data with DP devices.
- Process Mapping: Input and output images are transferred between the two network domains.
- Record Routing: Non-cyclic datasets pass between Industrial Ethernet and PROFIBUS.
Organizing the DP process image
- Device Capacity: The DPV1 master coordinates as many as 64 PROFIBUS devices.
- Input Total: The combined process image allows up to 2048 input bytes.
- Output Total: The combined process image allows up to 2048 output bytes.
- Per-Device Limit: Each DP device contributes up to 244 bytes in each direction.
Separating cyclic data and service traffic
- S7 Communication: Controller communication operates beside the cyclic PROFINET and PROFIBUS exchange.
- Dataset Routing: Non-cyclic parameter records can cross between the connected networks.
- Route Capacity: The gateway manages up to 32 dataset routes.
- Engineering Access: Configuration service uses the established Ethernet connection.
Retaining configuration during replacement
- External Storage: A fitted C-PLUG holds the gateway configuration outside the electronics.
- Settings Transfer: Moving the C-PLUG transfers saved parameters to compatible replacement hardware.
- Power Input: A separate 24 V DC terminal supplies the gateway electronics.
- Signal Separation: Ethernet and PROFIBUS connectors carry communication independently of the power terminal.
