System role

This section explains what the product does and where it acts in the surrounding system.

Function
Routes AS-i field-device data into the PROFIBUS DP controller network.
System position
Sits between AS-i field devices and the PROFIBUS DP master in the automation system.
Upstream / inputs
Receives AS-i input and diagnostic data from connected AS-i slaves.
Downstream / outputs
Transmits AS-i process data and gateway status to the PROFIBUS DP master.
Limitations
Unknown: installed bus configuration, successor interchangeability, service condition, and current commercial availability require separate evidence.

Evidence ledger

Facts, inferences, and unknowns are kept separate.

Facts

  • Siemens describes 6GK1415-2BA20 as a SIMATIC NET DP/AS-Interface Link advanced gateway for integration of AS-i into PROFIBUS DP.

    Confidence: high

  • The Siemens product page specifies master profiles M3 and M4 under AS-i specification V3.0, double-master operation with display, and IP20 protection.

    Confidence: high

Inferences

  • The gateway routes AS-i field-device data into the PROFIBUS DP controller network.

    Confidence: medium

    Rationale: The system position follows from the documented product function and the named upstream or downstream interface.

Unknowns

  • Unknown: installed bus configuration, successor interchangeability, service condition, and current commercial availability require separate evidence.

    Confidence: low

    Missing evidence: The captured sources do not establish installation-specific compatibility or current commercial conditions.

Recipient and data disclosure

Named recipient: Ardkor human-qualification queue (internal local preview). No partner delivery is enabled here.

Data retained for this review: reference, selected route, location, technical context, contact details, consent state, and any accepted private attachment.

Response expectation: none is promised. If external routing is enabled later, the partner name, disclosed fields, and response expectation must be shown and accepted again.

Withdrawal and deletion: use the private request controls from the receipt to withdraw further processing or request access/deletion. The request remains recorded until the relevant Ardkor systems and any recipient confirm completion.
