Siemens Pb PN-41513 PROFINET Communication Module

The Siemens Pb PN-41513 (order number 1000023542) is a PROFINET industrial Ethernet communication module designed for modern automation networks. It provides a reliable interface for connecting automation devices to a PROFINET-based control system, enabling fast, deterministic data exchange between controllers, HMI panels, drives, and I/O devices. The module is part of Siemens’ industrial communication portfolio and is compatible with PROFINET IO controllers such as the SIMATIC S7 series.

PROFINET Integration

The PN-41513 module supports PROFINET Real-Time (RT) communication, which is suitable for most automation tasks requiring deterministic cycle times down to a few milliseconds. The module can be used as a PROFINET IO device (slave) that connects to a higher‑level PROFINET controller, or as a communication processor for other field devices that lack native PROFINET support.

Rugged Industrial Design

With an operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C and an IP20 protection rating, the module is designed for installation in industrial control cabinets. It is resistant to vibration and electromagnetic interference (EMI) as per IEC 61000‑6‑2 standards. The compact housing occupies minimal DIN rail space, simplifying cabinet layout.

Application Domains

The PN-41513 is commonly used in factory automation, process automation, and energy management systems. Typical applications include connecting remote I/O stations, drives, and operator panels to a PROFINET network, as well as integrating legacy serial devices via a PROFINET gateway.
