Description

About this product

Here is all you need to know

The Siemens 6ES5308-3UC21 links the PROFIBUS-DP to the CPUs in the Simatic S5-115U, S5-135U and S5-155U programmable controllers. The module is frequently referred to as the IM 308-C in the Siemens literature and provides:

  • Large address space (up to 13,300 bytes in all for input, outputs and diagnostics data, for addressing with FB IM308C)
  • Baud rates from 9.6 kbaud to 12 Mbaud
  • Freeze and Sync control commands
  • usable as DP master and/or DP Slave
The module is the direct replacement for the 6ES5308-3UC11 which is also referred to as the IM308-C. The new IM 308-C no longer permits programming of 12V memory cards. If you need this functionality, Northern Industrial is still able to provide these units. 
Memory card

The following memory cards can be used with the IM 308-C:

Please note that the refubished IM 308-C is not supplied with a 5V memory card. 

If you try to program a 12 V memory card in a the 6ES5308-3UC21 with product version 1 and higher, the CPU and the IM 308-C will enter STOP mode. The "IF" LED will light up on the IM 308-C.

DesignationFunction

Backplane connectors X1 and X2

Blackplane connector X1 and X2 enable communication between the IM308-C and the CPU via the S5 I/O bus. 
Memory card All important configuration data for the IM308-C and bus layout is stored on the memory card.

Mode Selector Switch

(IM308-C as DP-Master)

RN (RUN): normal operation IM308-C read the inputs ofthe slave and sets the output

ST (STOP): IM308-C does not exchange data with the slaves, it may, however, receive the token (send authorization) from another master on the bus and pass on the token.

OFFL IM308-C does not exchange data with the slave and cannot receive the token (send authorization) from another master on the bus)

 

Mode Selector Switch

(IM308-C as DP-Slave)

 RN (RUN): normal operation; IM 308-C is DP slave and exchange data with the DP master

ST (STOP) or OFF: IM308-C is DP slave and does not exchange data with the DP master. No exchange of data between the IM308-C/DP slave and the slave CPU.

Depending on parameterization with COM Profibus QVZ or PEU is reported to the master CPU.

Bit ), station status 1, is set.

 LEDs The meanings of the LEDs are shown in table 3-2 and 3.3
 Profibus-DPThe bus connectors of the field bus connect to the IM308-C via the Profibus-DP 
 Jumper X10 Profibus-DP grounded or not grounded
 Jumper X9 PEU signal switched (power fail in expansion unit)
