Features:
- PROFIBUS DP slave communication
- 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s transfer rate
- DPV0 and DPV1 service support
The Siemens 6GK7242-5DX30-0XE0 is a SIMATIC NET CM 1242-5 module for connecting a SIMATIC S7-1200 station to PROFIBUS as a DP slave. Its 9-pin Sub-D RS485 interface supports standard PROFIBUS cabling and connection practices. The module supports transfer rates from 9.6 kbit/s to 12 Mbit/s. DPV0 and DPV1 services are available for the communication functions described by Siemens.
The total process-data address range is specified as 240 bytes for inputs and 240 bytes for outputs. Power is supplied through the 5 V DC backplane bus, with typical current consumption of 0.15 A. Typical power loss is 0.75 W, and the housing provides IP20 protection. These characteristics allow the communication module to be integrated as part of a compatible S7-1200 station.
Use this model when the S7-1200 station must operate as a PROFIBUS DP slave rather than as a DP master. Project engineering should confirm the master configuration, station address, data length and supported DP services. The bus cable, connector, termination and shielding must match the PROFIBUS installation rules. CPU compatibility and the corresponding STEP 7 hardware configuration should be checked before commissioning.
For PROFIBUS DP slave projects using the 6GK7242-5DX30-0XE0, official technical-document access and compatibility guidance are available from Apter Power. Siemens identifies product phase-out from 1 October 2026; quotation and stock are checked during inquiry.
