More Information

Overview Manuals AS-i Device Map Power Separation Configuration Path LED Diagnosis

Features:

  • One AS-Interface V3.0 master links the S7-1200 CPU to as many as 62 field devices.
  • The backplane carries controller data while the AS-i profile conductors supply the field-network side.
  • Five LED groups separate network, power, module, configuration and diagnostic states.
AS-i sensors and actuators exchange data with the master over the profile cable.

The CM maps digital and analog values into S7-1200 process data and data records.

The backplane returns those values and diagnostic states to the CPU while keeping the AS-i side galvanically isolated.

The Siemens 3RK7243-2AA30-0XB0 CM 1243-2 AS-Interface Master may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Polling field devices and organizing their process data

  • Device capacity: One master addresses as many as 62 AS-i devices.
  • Digital map: Up to 496 inputs and 496 outputs enter the process image.
  • Analog map: Analog values use process-image addresses and data-record transfer.
  • Cycle time: Polling takes 5 ms for 31 devices and 10 ms for 62 devices.

Keeping the controller backplane and AS-i network electrically distinct

  • Backplane current: The module draws up to 250 mA from the S7-1200 bus.
  • AS-i current: Up to 100 mA is drawn from the profile conductors at 30 V.
  • Isolation: Galvanic separation uses a 500 V rated insulation boundary.
  • Power loss: The module dissipates 2.9 W under documented conditions.

Aligning the physical master with the S7-1200 project

  • STEP 7: The hardware and AS-i network are configured in the controller project.
  • Command interface: Program commands can access the documented master functions.
  • CPU capacity: No more than three communication modules in total are used per CPU.
  • Master profile: M4 functions follow AS-Interface specification V3.0.

Separating network and module conditions at the front panel

  • AS-i: Shows the AS-Interface network state.
  • PF: Indicates the documented power-fault condition.
  • CM: Represents communication-module status.
  • CER and DIAG: Distinguish configuration error from diagnostic status.
Description
Siemens 3RK7243-2AA30-0XB0 is a SIMATIC S7-1200 CM 1243-2 communication module that serves as an AS-Interface V3.0 master. It connects one PLC station to as many as 62 AS-i sensors, actuators and other field devices.

Across its single AS-i network, 3RK7243-2AA30-0XB0 polls 31 devices in 5 ms or 62 devices in 10 ms and maps as many as 496 inputs and 496 outputs into the S7-1200 data path. Digital data uses the process image, while analog data can use process-image addresses and data-record transfers.

The S7-1200 backplane supplies 3RK7243-2AA30-0XB0 and carries data between the CPU and master function. A separate current path is drawn from the AS-i profile conductors, while 500 V rated insulation and galvanic separation keep the two sides electrically distinct.

Configuration of 3RK7243-2AA30-0XB0 is performed with STEP 7 or the command interface, and front LEDs separate AS-i state, power fault, communication-module status, configuration error and diagnostics. The module snaps onto a 35 mm DIN rail beside the S7-1200 CPU.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
Why can Siemens 3RK7243-2AA30-0XB0 communicate with the CPU but show an AS-i fault?
Siemens 3RK7243-2AA30-0XB0 uses separate backplane and AS-i paths; check profile-cable power, polarity, device addresses and the PF/AS-i LEDs.
How long is the cycle time with 62 devices on 3RK7243-2AA30-0XB0?
With 62 AS-i devices, 3RK7243-2AA30-0XB0 has a documented AS-Interface bus cycle time of 10 ms.
How are analog values transferred through Siemens 3RK7243-2AA30-0XB0?
Siemens 3RK7243-2AA30-0XB0 makes analog I/O available through process-image or peripheral addresses and data-record transfer.
Why must the number of communication modules be checked around 3RK7243-2AA30-0XB0?
An S7-1200 CPU can use a maximum of three communication modules in total, including 3RK7243-2AA30-0XB0.
Which LEDs help diagnose a configuration problem on Siemens 3RK7243-2AA30-0XB0?
On Siemens 3RK7243-2AA30-0XB0, compare AS-i, PF, CM, CER and DIAG so network, supply, module and configuration conditions remain separate.
Can 3RK7243-2AA30-0XB0 be mounted directly in the field without a cabinet?
No. The IP20 enclosure of 3RK7243-2AA30-0XB0 is intended for a protected DIN-rail installation.
