Features:
- One electrically isolated 20 mA TTY interface connects legacy serial equipment to an S7-300 station.
- ASCII, 3964(R), RK512, and printer drivers cover several point-to-point communication tasks.
- Up to 19.2 kbit/s, 4,096-byte telegrams, and long TTY cable runs define the serial operating envelope.
The current-loop interface must be selected deliberately because its electrical behavior differs from RS232 and RS422/485 CP 341 variants.
Protocol parameters move lower-level framing and handshake work into the communication processor while the CPU exchanges user data through blocks.
Isolation and long-distance capability help legacy field links, but correct loop-current sourcing remains essential for a stable connection.
The Siemens 6ES7341-1BH02-0AE0 CP 341 20 mA TTY Serial Communications Processor is supported with product documentation and selection assistance from Apter Power.

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.
20 mA Current-Loop Connection
- Electrical format: The isolated serial port uses a 20 mA TTY current loop rather than voltage-level RS232 signaling.
- Connector: Field communication terminates at the 9-pin Sub-D socket.
- Loop roles: Active and passive current-loop responsibilities must agree with the connected serial device.
- Distance: The documented point-to-point cable limit reaches 1,000 m under suitable TTY wiring conditions.
Configurable Message Handling
- ASCII: Transparent character transfer supports application-defined frames and control characters.
- 3964(R): The integrated procedure adds controlled telegram exchange and the documented error checks.
- RK512: The processor supports the configured RK512 data-exchange procedure.
- Printer: A serial-printer driver sends formatted controller data to a compatible printer interface.
Transfer and Telegram Limits
- Rate range: The serial channel is parameterized from 0.3 to 19.2 kbit/s.
- Frame format: Data bits, parity, and stop bits must match the remote equipment.
- Telegram size: The supported ASCII, 3964(R), and RK512 telegram length reaches 4,096 bytes.
- Buffer planning: Application logic must account for message length and handshake timing before issuing another transfer.
Power and Program Interface
- External power: The module receives a separate 24 V DC supply through its front terminals.
- Backplane: The S7-300 bus transfers control, status, and user data between the CPU and CP 341.
- Configuration: The CP 341 parameter package selects interface and protocol properties.
- User blocks: The controller program calls the documented blocks for transmit, receive, and protocol handling.
