Benefits

• High level of plant availability due to support of media redundancy (MRP)
• Optimum support of maintenance due to
  • Web-based diagnostics
  • Monitoring with IT network management tools (SNMP)
  • Module replacement without a PG

Application

The CM 1542-1 is used to connect the SIMATIC S7-1500 to PROFINET networks. With its own processor, it relieves the CPU of communications tasks and facilitates additional connections.

The CM 1542-1 provides communication options with:

• PGs/PCs
• Master computers
• Operator control and monitoring systems
• SIMATIC S5/S7 systems
• PROFINET IO controllers
• PROFINET IO devices
