NEW ARRIVAL: Siemens CP 1243-1 6GK7243-1BX30-0XE0 Communication Processor Now Available
Model Description
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of the Siemens CP 1243-1 communication processor (Part No. 6GK7243-1BX30-0XE0), a compact Ethernet module designed to extend the connectivity of SIMATIC S7-1200 controllers. This 30mm-wide DIN-rail device adds a dedicated RJ45 interface to the PLC backplane and enables reliable telecontrol communication via DNP3, IEC 60870-5, and Siemens TeleControl Basic protocols. Powered directly from the S7-1200's 5V DC bus (250mA typical), the module eliminates external power wiring and integrates seamlessly into existing panels. With dimensions of 110 × 30 × 75mm and a lightweight 122g design, it is ideal for remote I/O stations, water-treatment skids, distributed pumping stations and renewable-energy sites where space is premium and secure remote access is mandatory .
Key Features
The 6GK7243-1BX30-0XE0 delivers robust security and diagnostics in a maintenance-free package. An embedded firewall and VPN client protect against unauthorised network access, while integrated HTTPS and certificate management simplify secure cloud onboarding. The processor supports up to 500 data points, one email client and one MQTT/AMQP connection for IoT integration. Operating temperature spans –20 … +60°C (vertical) or –20 … +70°C (horizontal), and IP20 finger-safe housing ensures safe panel installation. With <1.25W power loss and 10/100 Mbit/s auto-negotiation, the module is certified to CE, cULus, ATEX/IECEx (Zone 2) and UKCA, guaranteeing worldwide acceptance for critical infrastructure projects .
