PROFINET/Industrial Ethernet
Communication for SIMATIC S7-200
CP 243-1

■
Overview
Communications processor for connecting a SIMATIC S7-200
to Industrial Ethernet networks
The CP supports:
•
PG/OP communication
•
S7 communication
•
IT communication
In addition, the CP 243-1 offers e-mail functions and user-
created web pages and thus optimally supports maintenance
and quality assurance. The Internet functions such as FTP allow
connection to the most diverse PC-based systems.
■
Benefits
•
Process information can be accessed simultaneously
(password protected) with standard Web browsers; software
costs are reduced on the client side
•
Low-cost bulk storage for data, statistics and HTML-based
machine or plant documentation
•
Simple universal linking of PLCs to different computers by
means of FTP
•
Local and worldwide transmission of event-driven messages
by e-mail
•
Time and cost savings due to fast and easy configuration,
programming and monitoring from a central location via LAN
•
Reduction of complexity and savings for networking all
automation levels and devices since only Ethernet is required
•
Simple startup and easy diagnostics options due to
configuration support by STEP 7 Micro/WIN
■
Application
•
The CP 243-1 communications processor is used to connect
S7-200 to Industrial Ethernet.
•
Distributed plants can be reached over telephone lines or
the
Internet by using a router and simple diagnostics, signal or
user functions can be performed with the help of a web
browser. The CP 243-1 is especially suited for plant sections
where using PCs for permanent monitoring functions would
not be cost-effective.
•
PC applications can access the data of an S7-200 via an
S7 OPC server. In this way, process data can be easily
archived or further processed.
•
SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 programmable controllers can
communicate with a SIMATIC S7-200 with CP 243-1 over
Industrial Ethernet which means that the S7-200 can also be
used for more complex applications.
■
Design
The CP 243-1 offers all the advantages of the S7-200 design:
•
Compact design in a rugged plastic enclosure
•
Terminal strip for connecting the 24 V DC external supply
voltage
•
LED status display
•
Optional DIN rail mounting or direct wall mounting
•
RJ45 socket for connection to Industrial Ethernet with
automatic data rate detection
