Features:
- One AS-i V3.0 master connects an S7-300 or ET 200M station to as many as 62 slaves.
- The processor maps up to 496 digital inputs and 496 digital outputs through the backplane.
- A front set button and six LEDs support local commissioning and status separation.
The S7 backplane carries controller data and module power to Siemens 6GK7343-2AH01-0XA0, while the front connector forms the separate AS-i field path.
Slave count changes the network cycle of 6GK7343-2AH01-0XA0 from 5 ms for 31 slaves to 10 ms for 62 slaves.
Local controls and STEP 7 give 6GK7343-2AH01-0XA0 different commissioning routes without changing the physical AS-i segment.
The Siemens 6GK7343-2AH01-0XA0 CP 343-2 AS-Interface Master Communication Processor may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Master Capacity and Cycle
- Master profile: The processor implements an AS-i V3.0 master with profile M4.
- Slave capacity: One segment can contain up to 62 addressed AS-i slaves.
- 31-slave cycle: A network with 31 slaves uses a 5 ms documented cycle.
- 62-slave cycle: The maximum 62-slave arrangement uses a 10 ms documented cycle.
Controller Input and Output Exchange
- Input area: The AS-i network can provide as many as 496 digital inputs.
- Output area: The processor can send as many as 496 digital outputs to slaves.
- Backplane path: Mapped data moves between the processor and the S7-300 station through the backplane.
- Isolation: The field interface is galvanically isolated from the station electronics.
Configuration Routes and Indication
- Set button: The front pushbutton can store or adjust the AS-i configuration locally.
- STEP 7 route: STEP 7 provides the engineering route from the automation project.
- Command route: The command interface lets the user program control AS-i master functions.
- LED groups: RUN, APF, CER, AUP, CM, and SF divide operating and fault states.
Station Placement and Power
- Station types: The module can occupy an S7-300 station or an ET 200M remote station.
- Backplane supply: Module operating power comes from the S7-300 backplane bus.
- AS-i conductors: The 20-pin front connector carries the AS-i network conductors.
- Redundant station: The processor supports operation with a redundant IM 153 arrangement.
