The 6SE6400-2FA01-4BC0 by Siemens represents a significant component in the MICROMASTER series, focusing on RS-485 communication. This unit is built utilizing a line topology, which enables the establishment of straightforward network layouts. Operating within a half-duplex framework, it employs a master-slave approach, facilitating organized data transactions.
This communication device is capable of supporting a variety of baud rates, specifically from 300 bps to 187.5 kbps, with recommended settings that include commonly used configurations such as 9600, 19200, and 38400 bps. The component starts its communication with an STX character (02 hex), followed by the telegram length, specified as 1 byte. An address byte is included for identifying specific devices within the network structure.
The PKW parameter indicates the ability to read or write parameter values, while the PZD element handles process data transmission, encompassing control and status words as well as both setpoints and actual measured values. Data integrity is ensured with the implementation of a BCC, which is the exclusive OR (XOR) of all data bytes sent.
For physical connections, a screened twisted pair cable is required, promoting reduced signal interference. Termination of the bus is achieved with the installation of 150 Ω resistors at both extremities, ensuring reliable and effective communication. This component also incorporates a Class A EMC filter, enhancing its compliance with electromagnetic compatibility standards.
