Siemens Communication Module for Use with SIMATIC S7-300 to PROFIBUS DP, 24 V

Securely send instructions between your PLC and slave devices with this communication module from Siemens. It's an essential link between controllers from Siemens's SIMATIC S7 300 series and PROFIBUS DP peripherals. The unit houses up to four CPUs, meaning there's potential for 16 send-and-receive blocks to manage your automated system. An IP20 rating means it's touch-proof and resistant to objects bigger than 12mm for safe installation and maintenance. It can transmit 240bytes of data per connection, so it's an effective choice for industrial processing, manufacturing and robotics jobs.

• Up to 12Mbit/s data transfer rate delivers rapid performance
• Light 30g weight keeps your setup free from strain
• Compact dimensions of 125 (H) x 40 (W) x 120mm (D) maximise space in your infrastructure

You need a 4-pole terminal block connection to power this communication module.

Yes. It performs reliably in a temperature range between 0°C and +60°C, so it's suitable for use in harsh industrial conditions.
