Product Detail: 6GK7343-1EX30-0XE0
The Siemens 6GK7343-1EX30-0XE0 is the **CP 343-1 Lean** communications processor for the SIMATIC S7-300 PLC system. It adds an Industrial Ethernet interface to standard S7-300 CPUs, enabling connection to the factory network.
Specifications
- Interfaces: 2x RJ45 (Integrated Switch).
- Speed: 10/100 Mbit/s.
- Services: PROFINET IO Device, TCP/IP, UDP.
- Mounting: S7-300 Rail.
Why «Lean»?
This module is the cost-effective solution for connecting S7-300 stations as **PROFINET IO Devices** or for simple S7 communication via TCP/IP. It does not support being a PROFINET Controller (Master), but it is perfect for sending data up to SCADA systems or talking to other PLCs.
Replacement
A vital spare part for retrofitting older machines with Ethernet connectivity without changing the main CPU.
