Features:
- A standard 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet port or the dual-port RNA interface connects the S7-400 station.
- PRP operation uses two 100 Mbit/s RNA ports for redundant network paths.
- Industrial protocols, web diagnostics, SNMPv1, time synchronization, and IP conflict detection aid operation.
Either a standard Ethernet LAN or a redundant PRP architecture can connect through Siemens 6GK7443-1RX00-0XE0 to S7-400 or S7-400H controllers.
The 6GK7443-1RX00-0XE0 RNA interface contains two RJ45 ports, while the separate standard Ethernet port supports conventional 10/100 Mbit/s communication.
Connection planning for 6GK7443-1RX00-0XE0 must account for the shared total, H, PG, OP, and open communication limits before project download.
The Siemens 6GK7443-1RX00-0XE0 CP 443-1 RNA Redundant Network Communication Processor may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Alternative Network Interfaces
- Standard LAN: One RJ45 port supports 10 and 100 Mbit/s Ethernet.
- RNA path: Two RJ45 ports provide 100 Mbit/s redundant-network connectivity.
- Selection rule: Standard Ethernet and RNA interfaces are alternative operating modes.
- Cabling check: Port assignment must match the configured interface mode before startup.
Parallel Redundancy Protocol
- Redundant paths: PRP sends traffic across two independent network paths.
- Port pair: The two RNA ports form the processor connection to the redundant LANs.
- Single-port mode: One RNA port can be active when a nonredundant RNA connection is configured.
- Topology check: Both redundant LANs require distinct, correctly planned switching paths.
Communication Resource Planning
- Total resources: The processor supports up to 128 communication connections.
- H communication: Up to 62 H connections are supported.
- Operator access: Limits include 2 PG and 30 OP connections.
- Open communication: SEND/RECEIVE services can use up to 64 connections in total.
Commissioning and Fault Visibility
- Browser access: Integrated web diagnostics expose processor and network status.
- Network monitoring: SNMPv1 supports standard management queries.
- Address conflict: Duplicate IP addresses are detected during startup and operation.
- Time base: Time synchronization supports coordinated diagnostic records across the station.
