Siemens 6GK7243-5DX30-0XE0 Communication Module CM 1243-5 SIMATIC S7-1200
The Siemens 6GK7243-5DX30-0XE0 is a dedicated Communication Module (CM 1243-5) designed for seamless integration with the SIMATIC S7-1200 family of modular Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). Its primary function is to enable the S7-1200 CPU to communicate over a PROFIBUS DP network.
This module is essential for applications where the S7-1200 needs to function as a PROFIBUS DP Master (controller) to manage and exchange data with subordinate field devices, such as remote I O, drives, and other slave components.
Key features and technical specifications include:
-
Compatibility: It is exclusively designed to expand the communication capabilities of the Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 CPU.
-
Function: PROFIBUS DP Master Communication. It handles all the timing and protocol requirements for operating as the central controller on the PROFIBUS network.
-
Network Protocol: Supports the PROFIBUS DP (Decentralized Peripherals) protocol, a widely used industrial fieldbus standard.
-
Data Rate: The module supports all standard PROFIBUS data rates, typically up to 12 Megabits per second (Mbit/s), allowing for high-speed data exchange with field devices.
-
Connection: It utilizes a standard 9-pin D-sub connector for connection to the PROFIBUS network cable.
-
Diagnostics: The module includes extensive diagnostic and status functions, indicated via built-in LEDs, to simplify commissioning and troubleshooting of the PROFIBUS network.
-
Mounting: As a Communication Module, it is designed for tool-free, snap-on mounting to the right side of the S7-1200 CPU.
In summary, the Siemens CM 1243-5 module 6GK7243-5DX30-0XE0 is a critical expansion component that transforms the SIMATIC S7-1200 into a powerful master controller capable of managing a PROFIBUS DP industrial network.
