Siemens 6ES7288-7DP01-0AA0 PROFIBUS-DP Slave Module – SIMATIC S7-200 SMART Series
Imagine a distributed manufacturing line where dozens of remote I/O stations, drives, and sensors must exchange data with a central PLC in real time — without a reliable PROFIBUS-DP slave interface, the entire communication chain collapses. Conveyor lines halt, process variables go unmonitored, and unplanned downtime cascades across the facility. The Siemens 6ES7288-7DP01-0AA0 eliminates this risk by providing a dedicated, high-speed PROFIBUS-DP slave port that seamlessly integrates the S7-200 SMART CPU into any PROFIBUS network as a fully compliant slave station.
Within the SIMATIC S7-200 SMART ecosystem, the 6ES7288-7DP01-0AA0 occupies a critical communication role: it is the only expansion module that enables the S7-200 SMART to participate as a DP slave in a PROFIBUS network controlled by a higher-level master — such as a Siemens S7-300, S7-400, or S7-1500 PLC. This positions the module as an essential bridge in multi-tier automation architectures across automotive, food & beverage, water treatment, and discrete manufacturing industries worldwide.

- Food & Beverage: Bottling lines, filling machines, and packaging equipment where S7-200 SMART acts as a local slave under a central S7-300/400 master.
- Water & Wastewater Treatment: Pump station control, valve actuation, and remote monitoring in distributed SCADA/PROFIBUS architectures.
- Textile & Printing: Multi-axis drive coordination where frequency inverters and S7-200 SMART nodes share a common PROFIBUS segment.
- Building Automation: HVAC control panels integrated into facility-wide PROFIBUS networks managed by higher-level BMS controllers.
- Material Handling: Sorters, palletizers, and AGV charging stations requiring real-time I/O exchange with a central logistics PLC.
