The Siemens 6GK7277-1AA10-0AA0 Compact Switch Module CSM 1277 is an unmanaged 4-port Industrial Ethernet switch (10/100 Mbit/s RJ45) that connects a SIMATIC S7-1200 CPU and up to 3 further nodes without a separate switch enclosure. It runs from an external 24 V DC supply, mounts in the S7-1200 device footprint, and is rated IP20 for 0 to 60 °C operation.
The 4-port unmanaged design and S7-1200 form factor make this module a fit inside a single S7-1200 station that needs up to 3 additional Ethernet drops (HMI, PC, or a further CPU) without a rack-mounted switch. PRP operation support lets it participate in a parallel-redundant network where the application requires it. Where more than 4 ports or managed diagnostics (VLAN, port mirroring, SNMP) are needed, a SCALANCE X-series managed switch is the better fit instead of this compact unmanaged module.
Adding local Ethernet ports to a SIMATIC S7-1200 station — connecting an HMI, engineering PC, or a neighboring CPU — without a separate switch enclosure, in cabinets rated 0 to 60 °C.
