Get your PLC devices talking with this communication module from Siemens. A serial R232 port and integrated protocols enable you to boost the functionality of your existing S7-1500 system. This is handy when you're automating complex processes. A maximum transfer rate of 115.2Kbps means it can handle the toing and froing of data between your CPU and sensors and actuators. Run and error LEDs, a diagnostic alarm and wire-break messages make sure you pick up faults quickly and help keep production on track. Communication modules like this one are commonly found in automotive, food and materials manufacturing systems.

• Works in temperatures up to +60°C, to cope with the heat from heavy processing machines
• Compact dimensions of 147 (H) x 35 (W) x 127mm (D) saves you rail space

This module mounts on S7-1500 rails and, as it's suitable for horizontal or vertical installation, you can fix it alongside your PLC. It mounts on your rail with a single screw for speedy fitting. As it can be networked with a maximum cable length of 15m, you have the flexibility to mount the unit outside your main cabinet.
