Features:
- One AS-i V2.11 master interface links up to sixty-two field slaves to the controller.
- Digital data uses the process image while analog and extended services use data records.
- Dedicated LEDs separate AS-i power, configuration, operating, and module faults.
Siemens 6GK7343-2AH00-0XA0 couples one AS-i network to an S7-300 or ET 200M backplane.
The selected slave configuration on 6GK7343-2AH00-0XA0 determines cyclic field-data exchange.
Mounting orientation changes the applicable upper operating temperature for 6GK7343-2AH00-0XA0.
The Siemens 6GK7343-2AH00-0XA0 SIMATIC NET CP 343-2 AS-Interface Master Communications Processor may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
AS-Interface Network Role
- Master role: The processor organizes cyclic exchange on one AS-i segment.
- Slave capacity: The configured address plan can include up to sixty-two supported AS-i slaves.
- Cycle time: The number of active slaves determines whether the documented five- or ten-millisecond cycle applies.
- Bus supply: AS-i voltage and field wiring must be present independently of the S7 backplane logic supply.
Controller Data Mapping
- Digital path: Binary slave values are represented through the assigned process-image addresses.
- Analog path: Analog values are transferred through the documented data-record services.
- Extended services: Parameters and diagnostic information also use command or record access outside ordinary I/O bits.
- Program check: PLC addresses and record calls must match the configured slave list and module slot.
Operating and Configuration States
- RUN: The operating indicator shows the active module state.
- APF and CER: These indicators direct checks toward AS-i power and configuration consistency.
- AUP and CM: Automatic programming and configuration-mode indications identify commissioning states.
- SF: A system fault requires review of module diagnostics, configuration, backplane, and AS-i conditions.
Rack and Connector Boundaries
- Rack position: The module occupies an S7-300 or ET 200M slot and exchanges data across the backplane.
- Front connection: A twenty-pin connector carries the documented AS-i wiring.
- Orientation: Horizontal and vertical mounting use different upper ambient-temperature limits.
- Configuration control: The set button or command interface must be used only with a verified slave arrangement.
