Siemens 6GK1571-0BA00-0AA0 PC A2 USB Adapter Includes 5m USB Cable And 0.3m MPI Cable For Connecting A PG/PC Or Laptop To A SIMATIC S7

1. Overview of the Siemens 6GK1571-0BA00-0AA0

The Siemens PC Adapter USB A2, 6GK1571-0BA00-0AA0, is a pocket-friendly communication tool designed for engineering sites and laboratories. It converts USB 2.0 high-speed interfaces into PROFIBUS/MPI industrial bus signals. Simply plug the included 5-meter USB cable into a laptop or PG/PC, and connect the other end to a SIMATIC S7-300/400 via a 9-pin Sub-D connector. This allows for instant online programming, diagnostics, and data monitoring, eliminating the need for bulky traditional serial port cards.

2. Core Features:

Plug and Play: Connects to a PG/PC or laptop via a standard USB 2.0 high-speed interface (480 Mbps). Power is directly supplied by the USB bus (5 V / 200 mA), eliminating the need for an external power supply.
Multi-protocol Communication: Built-in RS-485 transceiver automatically adapts to speeds between 9.6 kbit/s and 12 Mbit/s, supporting
• PROFIBUS-DP
• MPI (Multi-Point Interface)
• PPI (Point-to-Point Interface)
Enables online programming, diagnostics, monitoring, and firmware updates for S7-200/300/400/1200/1500 PLCs.
Fully Software Compatible: Drivers are integrated with STEP 7 V5.5 SP2 / TIA Portal V13 and higher, supporting Windows XP SP3, Vista, 7, 8/8.1, 10, and 11 (32/64 bit).

One-click network search: Combined with the TIA Portal "Accessible Devices" function, it can quickly scan all stations on the PROFIBUS/MPI network, significantly reducing commissioning time.

This adapter demonstrates exceptional reliability and compatibility in harsh industrial environments: It offers auto-sensing transmission rates from 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s, and its RS-485 port is immune to 2 kV bursts. It operates in temperatures from 0°C to 60°C, withstands shocks of 150 m/s², and carries multiple CE and cULus certifications. Whether operating in Windows XP or the latest Windows 11, it's instantly recognized. No external power supply is required, drawing only 200 mA from the USB bus, providing a truly convenient, one-touch experience.

A standard 5 m USB cable and an optional 0.3 m MPI cable are included, allowing engineers to flexibly address various connection distances within or outside the control cabinet. Measuring only 105 × 58 × 26 mm and weighing 365 g, it easily fits in a pocket.
