Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this module compatible with all S7-1200 CPU models?
A: Yes, the CM 1243-5 works with all SIMATIC S7-1200 CPU variants (1211C, 1212C, 1214C, 1215C, 1217C) running firmware V4.0 or higher.

Q: Can I use multiple CM modules on one S7-1200?
A: Yes, you can install up to 3 communication modules on the left side of the S7-1200 CPU, depending on your CPU model.

Q: Does it support PROFIBUS DP-V1 extended functions?
A: The module operates as a DP slave and supports standard cyclic data exchange. For DP-V1 master functionality, consider alternative SIEMENS solutions.

Q: What cable type is required?
A: Use standard PROFIBUS cable (Type A for up to 12 Mbit/s) with appropriate bus terminators at network endpoints.

Q: How do I configure the PROFIBUS address?
A: Set the station address (1-125) via TIA Portal hardware configuration or using the optional address switch accessory.
