Features:
- Connects an ET 200SP CPU to Industrial Ethernet.
- Uses a separately selected BusAdapter for copper or fiber media.
- Separates S7 routing from TCP/IP, ISO-on-TCP and UDP services.
The processor exchanges station data through the ET 200SP backplane and network data through its BusAdapter.
Protocol configuration determines whether a connection serves engineering, S7 routing or open communication.
A separately wired 24 V supply powers the processor while the backplane provides station access.
The Siemens 6GK7542-6UX00-0XE0 CP 1542SP-1 Communication Processor is available for purchase and support from Apter Power during its documented product lifecycle End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Selecting the physical Ethernet connection
- Required component: The processor cannot connect to Ethernet without a BusAdapter.
- Copper option: A 2xRJ45 or FastConnect adapter provides copper connections.
- Fiber option: SCRJ adapters provide POF/PCF fiber connections.
- Mixed media: A mixed adapter can combine one fiber path with one copper path.
Keeping S7 and open communication roles distinct
- PG/OP: Engineering and operator communication use the SIMATIC service path.
- S7 routing: The CP routes configured S7 traffic through the station.
- Open IE: TCP/IP, ISO-on-TCP and UDP serve programmed data exchange.
- Broadcast services: IP broadcast and multicast depend on the configured network role.
Supporting addressing, time and diagnostics
- Addressing: IPv4 and IPv6 are available for configured connections.
- DHCP: A server can assign network parameters when the project permits it.
- NTP: Time synchronization aligns the station with a network time source.
- SNMP and email: Monitoring and notification services remain separate from process data.
Supplying the CP independently of the backplane
- External feed: X80 accepts a 24 V DC supply within the documented range.
- Redundant terminals: Two terminal pairs permit single or redundant supply wiring.
- Backplane: The ET 200SP bus carries station communication rather than the external power feed.
- Ventilation: A 25 mm clearance above and below supports the specified temperature range.
