Overview
The CM 1242-5 communication module is used to connect a
SIMATIC S7-1200 to PROFIBUS as a DP slave and has the
following characteristics:
• PROFIBUS DPV1 slave in accordance with IEC 61158
• Module replacement without PG supported
• Power is supplied via the backplane bus so that no extra
cabling is required
• Support of all standard baud rates from 9.6 Kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s
• Compact industry-standard enclosure in S7-1200 design for
mounting on a standard mounting rail
• Fast commissioning thanks to easy configuration using
STEP 7 without additional programming effort
The CM 1242-5 is intended for use in factory automation. Low-
cost PROFIBUS-based automation solutions can be created on
the basis of the S7-1200 for optimal production.
