Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to select the correct interface module for your ET 200S station:
- Step 1 — Identify your fieldbus: PROFIBUS DP → IM 151-1 series (A5E01161649 / 6ES7151-1AA05); PROFINET → IM 151-3 PN series
- Step 2 — Determine feature level: Standard (basic diagnostics) vs. High Feature (extended diagnostics, isochronous mode)
- Step 3 — Check firmware revision: Match to your STEP 7 / TIA Portal version for GSD file compatibility
- Step 4 — Verify power budget: Confirm 24 V DC supply capacity for the full ET 200S station load
- Step 5 — Confirm slot count: IM 151-1 supports up to 63 I/O modules per station

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Is A5E01161649 the same as 6ES7151-1AA05-0AB0?
A: The A5E01161649 is Siemens’ internal article number (E-number) that corresponds to the 6ES7151-1AA05-0AB0 order number. They refer to the same physical module family; always confirm the exact hardware revision with your Siemens distributor or Konmask.com.
Q: Can I replace A5E01161649 with a PROFINET IM 151-3 PN module?
A: Not directly. Switching from PROFIBUS DP to PROFINET requires reconfiguring the master PLC, updating the network topology, and modifying the TIA Portal project. It is a migration, not a drop-in replacement.
Q: What happens if I use a different firmware revision?
A: Minor firmware differences are usually handled by updated GSD files in STEP 7 / TIA Portal. Major revision changes may require re-downloading the hardware configuration. Contact us for revision-specific guidance.
Q: Do you provide a certificate of conformity?
A: Yes. A Certificate of Conformity (CoC) and test report are available upon request for all orders.
