Dear All;

While I was configuring project components, I was confused by two products:

and 

Is there any difference between the two IMs rather than the outdoor extended temperature for "2BA70"?

I have attached the technical data comparison sheet.

Dear All;

While I was configuring project components, I was confused by two products:

6ES7153-2BA10-0XB0 SIMATIC DP, ET 200M INTERFACE IM 153-2 HIGH FEATURE FOR MAX. 12 S7-300 MODULES, WITH REDUNDANCY, TIME STAMPING FIT FOR ISOCHRONE MODE NEW FEATURES: 12 MODULES / STATION SLAVE INITIATIVE FOR SWITCHES AND DRIVE ES EXTENDED DATA FOR HART SECON- DARY VARIABLES OPERATON WITH 64PT MODULES EXTENDES TIMESTAMPS WITH 32 SIGNALS / SLOT

and 

6ES7153-2BA70-0XB0 SIMATIC DP, INTERFACE DP/PA-LINK A. ET200M IM153-2 HF FOR EXPANDED TEMPERATURE RANGE FOR MAX. 12 S7-300 MODULES, WITH REDUNDANCY, TIME STAMPING FIT FOR ISOCHRONE MODE NEW FEATURES: 12 MODULES / STATION SLAVE INITIATIVE FOR SWITCHES AND DRIVE ES EXTENDED DATA FOR HART SECONDARY VARIABLES OPERATON WITH 64PT MODULES EXTENDED TIMESTAMPS WITH 32 SIGNALS / SLOT

Is there any difference between the two IMs rather than the outdoor extended temperature for "2BA70"?

I have attached the technical data comparison sheet.

 The second one it is written DP/PA link. Is that what you mean? but it is strange because it seems that the two are IMs

There doesn't appear to be any difference other than the temperature range, as you have stated.

Not sure why the description states "INTERFACE DP/PA-LINK A" - the technical data clearly shows it has a DP RS485 interface. The two even have the same Profibus ID.

Hello,

I think the other difference is that IM #1 is only able to work in DP mode. The second one can handle (or can be used) as PA interface as well.

That's the only difference i can see.

 Dear All,

Till end of May 2015, there was two Modules:

• 6ES7153-2BA82-0XB0; IM 153-2 High Feature Outdoor for PA Link and Y-Link
• 6ES7153-2BA02-0XB0; IM 153-2 High Feature for ET 200M
  

Replacement and Sucessor product for both is:

• 6ES7153-2BA70-0XB0; IM 153-2 High Feature Outdoor for ET 200M, PA Link and Y-Link

Please check this link:

New PROFIBUS interface module for ET 200M, PA Link and Y-Link

Hello Khaled,

There's a small difference.

The outdoor version supports extended fieldbus diagnostics.

EFD manual

Extended fieldbus diagnostics

The extended fieldbus diagnostics allows the configuration and comprehensive diagnostics of the complete bus segment:

• Interface module
• Coupler
• Field distributor
• Connecting cables between the components (AS; bus link and field devices)

If the bus link is configured exclusively with EFD-capable components, you can take advantage of the benefits of the extended field bus diagnostics:

• Rugged infrastructure components - higher ruggedness of the complete system
• Diagnostics information for reliable commissioning of the fieldbus installation
• Diagnostics messages in PCS 7
• Alarm handling in SIMATIC PDM
• Consistent information flow of the system status diagnostics
• Preventive maintenance measures during operation to prevent system downtimes

Bear in mind that it's a complete system. You can't have such extended diagnostics without the AFDisD. 

EFD manual

Quantity structure for the configuration of an EFD system

Minimum configuration

The following rules apply to the minimum configuration of an EFD system:

Function	Component	Number	Note
Interface module	IM 153-2 (Outdoor)	1	Interface module
Coupler	FDC 157	1	Coupler
Field distributor	AFDiSD	1	Field distributor
Field device	PA field devices	1 PA field device per spur line	Max. 6 spur lines on the field distributor

If you don't have these AFDisD (quite expensive by the way) and you don't need extended diagnostics then you should use the non-outdoor version.

I've been using non outdoor version for all my projects (IOs, Y-Link and PA networks) without problems.

Best regards,

H-H

Dear all;

Thanks for your contributions.

It is now clear that both modules can be used with IOs, Y-Link and PA networks. the only difference rather than the extended temperature is what H-H has put his hands on:

The outdoor version supports extended fieldbus diagnostics. 

When I read the IM 153-2 Manual it just state that: 

2.1 IM 153-2BA10 and IM 153-2BA70 

IM 153-2BAx0

Replacement part

● The interface module IM 153-2BA10-0XB0 is a replacement part and compatible functional successor for IM 153-2BA02

● The interface module IM 153-2BA70-0XB0 is a replacement part and compatible functional successor for IM 153-2BA82

These interface modules can be used in STEP7 (TIA Portal) and in STEP7 Classic.

 The extra information that was mentioned by H-H is found in EFD manual

Hope that this information be updated in the product technical data and manuals
