Description

The CP 343-5 communications processor is the module of the SIMATIC S7-300 for communication using PROFIBUS FMS.

It relieves the CPU from communications tasks.

Communication options of the S7-300 over the
CP 343-5:

FMS communication with PROFIBUS FMS stations via PROFIBUS
PG/OP communication
S7 communication
Open communication (SEND/ RECEIVE)

The number of CPs that can be used is dependent on the performance range of the CPU and on the communications services used.

The communications processors are easy to configure and can be programmed using PROFIBUS. They offer cross-network communication between programming devices using S7 routing and can be replaced without requiring a programming device.

Benefits

Simple integration of the SIMATIC S7 into a multi-vendor automation group by means of PROFIBUS FMS
Extensive reduction of workload for the user of PROFIBUS FMS specification due to simple configuration and independent data conversion of data on the CP
Sub-process-oriented design of an automation solution through the use of several CPs
Integration of the SIMATIC S7-300 into existing systems by means of open communication
Universal application of the CP due to the parallel use of different communication services on one CP
