The SIMATIC HMI connection box advanced (order number 6AV2125-2AE23-0AX0) is the top variant of the three docking boxes for second-generation SIMATIC Mobile Panels. On top of the standard function set it bridges the emergency-stop circuit while panels are exchanged, and it speaks IRT and MRP for real-time and redundant-wired networks.

What the Connection Box Advanced Is

The dock for motion-grade and redundant networks

IRT lets the docked panel participate in isochronous real-time traffic, and the MRP client role lets the box sit in a media-redundant ring. Both features are absent on the compact and standard boxes and are the usual reason a project specifies this variant.

Unplug the panel, keep the safety circuit

The emergency-stop circuit bridging keeps the circuit closed when the Mobile Panel is pulled from the socket, so a docked panel can be carried to the next station without dropping the e-stop loop. On the compact and standard boxes, panel exchange is part of the safety evaluation instead.

Bridging, IRT and MRP — What Advanced Actually Adds

E-stop bridging turns panel swaps into a non-event

With the bridging function, the emergency-stop loop stays closed regardless of whether a panel is docked, so the operator moves the panel between stations and the safety circuit never notices. That is the operational difference on lines with several docking points.

Real-time Ethernet for demanding cells

IRT synchronization and the MRP client role place this box in motion-heavy or ring-wired PROFINET installations where plain RT cycling is not enough — the only one of the three boxes that fits those network designs.

All three detect the connection point and reach PL e / SIL 3. Advanced is the answer when panels move between docks without dropping the e-stop loop, or when the network runs IRT or an MRP ring; otherwise standard or compact is enough.

Compatibility and How to Order

The advanced box docks every 2nd Generation Mobile Panel via KTP Mobile connecting cables and connects to PROFINET controllers up to IRT-class. Common panel pairings are the KTP900F Mobile and KTP700F Mobile failsafe panels.

  • Email sales@can-electric.com with the order number, quantity, delivery country, and whether the unit replaces a failed one or stocks a spare.
  • State the condition you need — new, new-surplus or refurbished is written on the quote, never implied.
  • Prices are USD and ships go out from Hong Kong by DHL; availability is confirmed per order rather than taken from a catalogue status.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the advanced box add over the standard box?

Three things: emergency-stop circuit bridging, IRT real-time support and the MRP client role. Everything else is shared with the standard box.

What exactly is e-stop circuit bridging?

The box keeps the emergency-stop circuit closed even while no panel is docked or while panels are exchanged, so moving a panel between stations does not drop the safety loop.

When do I need IRT on a connection box?

When the surrounding PROFINET network runs isochronous real-time — typical for motion applications — the docked panel link must keep step, which only this box does.

What is the MRP client for?

Media redundancy: the box joins an MRP ring so a single cable break does not take the segment down.

Does it still reach PL e / SIL 3?

Yes — PL e per ISO 13849-1 and SIL 3 per IEC 61508 through the safety relay connection or PROFIsafe, same as the other two boxes.

Which panels and cables fit?

All Mobile Panels 2nd Generation, docked through KTP Mobile connecting cables of 2 to 25 m (6AV2181-5AF02 through 6AV2181-5AF25).

Can it be mounted inside the cabinet?

It is designed for wall or direct mounting outside the cabinet; the in-cabinet variant is the compact box.

How many Ethernet ports does it have?

Three RJ45 ports behind the integrated switch: two Fast Connector ports for fixed cabling and the panel socket P3.

How is it powered?

24 V DC within 19.2 – 28.8 V from the machine supply; the docked panel draws its current through the box.
