Description
The Siemens 6SE6400-1PB00-0AA0 is a Profibus DP option module (CBP — Communication Board Profibus) for the MICROMASTER 4 (MM420 / MM430 / MM440) inverter / drive series. It plugs into the option slot on the drive’s control unit, enabling the inverter to operate as a Profibus DP slave on a Profibus DP network — communicating with Siemens S7-300/400/1200 (via Profibus DP master module), S5, or any other Profibus DP master (e.g., ABB, Rockwell with Profibus master).
Related part numbers:
- 6SE6400-1PB00-0AA0 → Profibus DP module for MM4 (most common — CBP = Comm Board Profibus)
- 6SE6400-0BP00-0AA0 / 0AA1 → Sometimes listed as the same CBP board or early/alternate packaging — functionally identical to 6SE6400-1PB00-0AA0 for MM4. Always verify against your drive manual — MM4 uses the -1PB00-… board. (Note: MM3 used a different add-on card; do NOT confuse with SINAMICS G120 CU240/CU250 option boards which are NOT interchangeable.)
The module supports Profibus DP-V0 / DP-V1, with PPO type 1–5 selectable via GSD file in the master configuration software (STEP 7 / TIA Portal with GSD or Drive ES). It provides diagnostic LEDs (BF = Bus Failure, SF = System Fault) and a 9-pin D-Sub Profibus connector.
Key Features
- Protocol: Profibus DP (DP-V0 / DP-V1)
- Baud Rate: 9.6 kbps … 12 Mbps (auto-detect)
- PPO Types: 1–5 (Process Data Object — control word / status word / setpoint / actual value)
- Connector: 9-pin Sub-D female (Profibus standard)
- Termination: 220 Ω + switchable active termination (via DIP or software — usually external terminator resistor recommended at bus ends)
- Installation: Plugs into MM420 / MM430 / MM440 option slot (Slot A or B — check drive manual; most MM4 have one option slot for this board)
- Country of Origin: Germany
Model / Variant Reference
Model | Description | For Drive Series | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
6SE6400-1PB00-0AA0 | Profibus DP Comm. Board (CBP) for MM4 | MICROMASTER 420 / 430 / 440 | Most common — GSD: SIEM808D.GSD (older) or via HW Catalog |
6SE6400-0BP00-0AA0 | Profibus DP Board (alt. pack/no.) | MM4 series | Electrically identical to -1PB00 — verify compatibility with your drive manual |
6SE6400-0BP00-0AA1 | Profibus DP Board (variant) | MM4 series | Same function — check suffix details (some sources show this as -0BP00-0AA0 re-badge) |
⚠️ Important:
MM4 Only — NOT for SINAMICS G120/CU240: This board fits MICROMASTER 4 option slot. SINAMICS G120 uses CU240-series with its own option slots (e.g., 6SL3255-0AA00-4CA1 = Profibus board for G120 CU240/250) — NOT interchangeable. One Slot: Most MM420/430/440 have one option slot. If you already have a DeviceNet / CANopen / RS-485 (USS/Modbus) board installed, you must remove it to fit the Profibus board. GSD File: Use Siemens MM4 GSD file (SIEM808D.GSD or newer MM4_Vxx.GSD) in your Profibus master config. PPO type 2 (CW + SW + Main Setpoint + Main Actual) is most common for simple speed control. Address Setting: Station address set via drive parameter P0918 (or DIP switches on very old boards — MM4 boards use P0918). Termination: Place a 220 Ω terminating resistor (often built into the last node or added externally) at both ends of the Profibus segment — NOT on the board itself (though some have jumper — consult manual).

Warranty & After-Sales
- Factory new units: 12 months warranty
- Refurbished units: 3-6 months warranty (Profibus link & PPO communication test on MM4 simulator)
- Technical support for:
- GSD file installation (STEP 7 / TIA Portal — add MM4 GSD)
- PPO type selection & drive parameterization (P0918 station addr, P0700=6 (Profibus/CB), P1000=6, P2051[..] for extra PKW if needed)
- Profibus cabling & termination check (A/B polarity, 220 Ω ends)
