System Architecture & Signal Flow
In a typical ET 200M station, the 6ES7180-0AA00-0XA0 IM 153-1 connects to the PROFIBUS DP network via its 9-pin Sub-D connector. The module acts as a DP slave, receiving cyclic I/O data frames from the S7-300 CPU (DP master) at the configured baud rate. Process signals from field devices are wired to S7-300 SM modules mounted on the same DIN rail rack. The IM 153-1 manages the backplane bus communication between the interface module and up to 8 signal modules, aggregating I/O data and returning it to the DP master within each PROFIBUS cycle. Power for the backplane bus is supplied by a dedicated PS 307 power supply module mounted at the left end of the rack.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 6ES7180-0AA00-0XA0 compatible with STEP 7 V5.x and TIA Portal?
A: Yes. The IM 153-1 is fully supported in STEP 7 V5.x via the HW Config hardware catalog. TIA Portal users can configure it under the ET 200M station using the legacy S7-300 module library.
Q: How many I/O modules can be connected to one IM 153-1?
A: Up to 8 S7-300 signal modules (SM) per ET 200M station. The total I/O address space must remain within the DP slave’s configured I/O byte limits.
Q: Can this module operate in isochronous (equidistant) PROFIBUS mode?
A: No. The IM 153-1 (6ES7180-0AA00-0XA0) supports standard DP slave operation only. For isochronous mode, the IM 153-2 (6ES7153-2BA02-0XB0 or later) is required.
Q: What is the difference between 6ES7180-0AA00-0XA0 and 6ES7153-1AA03-0XB0?
A: The 6ES7180-0AA00-0XA0 is an earlier IM 153-1 variant. The 6ES7153-1AA03-0XB0 is a later IM 153-1 revision with extended firmware and broader SM compatibility. Both are functionally equivalent for standard DP slave applications.
Q: Does this module support redundant PROFIBUS DP?
A: No. Redundant DP operation requires the IM 153-2 with dual PROFIBUS ports. The 6ES7180-0AA00-0XA0 has a single PROFIBUS DP interface.
Q: What power supply is required?
A: A 24 V DC Siemens PS 307 (or equivalent) power supply module is required at the left end of the ET 200M rack to power the backplane bus and signal modules.
