Communication Module - CM1242-5 - ProfiBUS slave - (6GK7242-5DX30-0XE0) for S7-1200

Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC ProfiBUS Slave Module , (W x H x D) 30 x 100 x 75 mm. Is an extension module that is placed to the left of the main CPU. It allows the S7-1200 to be used as a ProfiBus Slave. This is common in older robots. The robot is then a ProfiBus master.

At DamenCNC we sometimes use these modules when we need to interface with older robots or CNC systems, that have ProfiBus.
