Siemens 6GK7443-1GX30-0XE0 SIMATIC NET CP 443-1 Advanced Gigabit PROFINET PLC Communication Module

The Siemens CP 443-1 Advanced (6GK7443-1GX30-0XE0) is a communications processor that connects a SIMATIC S7-400 CPU to Industrial Ethernet with one Gigabit RJ45 port and a 4-port 10/100 Mbit/s integrated switch, operating as a PROFINET IO controller for up to 128 IO devices with IRT support. It adds S7 routing, IP access control lists, and FTP/email/web server functions, drawing 1.8 A typical from the backplane bus.

Selection Notes

The 4-port switch plus a separate Gigabit uplink let this CP terminate a local PROFINET IO line on the integrated switch while carrying backbone traffic over the Gigabit port, and up to 4 units per S7-400 CPU can each run as an independent PROFINET IO controller for 128 devices. Select it over a Lean or non-Advanced CP 443 when the station needs Gigabit backbone speed, VPN/firewall security, or multiple parallel PROFINET IO controller instances on the same rack.

Applications

Fits S7-400 stations that need a marine-classified PROFINET IO controller (ABS, BV, CCS, DNV, LRS, NK approvals) for process and marine automation, plus FTP, email, and web-based diagnostics for plant-wide integration.
