hi isteak,
you can certainly use the PG port (AS511) of a OP15 to talk to a 95U ive seen it done many times (although its a bit before my time to have done it myself).
You will probably have to do some sort of reconfiguration in the OP project (COMTEXT) to make it work though. Wouldnt it be easier to find a direct replacement?
im not sure what you mean by SI2 interface, the 95U cpu's im familar with have L2 (early form of profibus) and the PG port plus two others for connetion of various kinds of io.
