Product Description
Model: 6ES7214-1BG40-0XB0 Brand: Siemens Product Name: CM 1243‑5 PROFIBUS‑DP Master Communication Module
6ES7214-1BG40-0XB0 is PROFIBUS‑DP master communication module dedicated for SIMATIC S7‑1200 PLC. It is expanded via backplane bus, enabling S7‑1200 to act as DP master for PROFIBUS fieldbus network, supporting DP‑V0 / DP‑V1 protocol. It connects ET200 distributed I/O, DP inverters, DP instruments and other DP‑slave devices. Supports S7 communication and PG/OP online debugging, configured directly within TIA Portal without extra programming. Maximum 3 modules can be used per S7‑1200 CPU. Compact DIN‑rail mounting, widely used as spare part for industrial automation projects.
