Siemens 6GK7542-5DX00-0XE0 SIMATIC S7-1500 CM 1542-5 PROFIBUS DP PLC Communication Module

The Siemens CM 1542-5 (6GK7542-5DX00-0XE0) is a communications module that connects a SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU to PROFIBUS DP as a DP-V1 master or DP device, supporting S7 and PG/OP communication, data record routing, and time synchronization across the PROFIBUS segment. It weighs 0.379 kg, is supplied as a Siemens spare part, and includes onboard diagnostics that flag PROFIBUS network faults directly through the S7-1500 CPU.

Technical Specifications

Selection Notes

This spare-part CM adds PROFIBUS DP master or device connectivity to an S7-1500 station, with data record routing letting the CPU pass PROFIBUS diagnostic and parameter data through to engineering tools without a direct cable connection. Pick it over the CM 1542-1 when the station needs to talk to legacy PROFIBUS DP field devices instead of PROFINET.

Applications

Connects SIMATIC S7-1500 stations to PROFIBUS DP field devices - drives, remote I/O, or sensors - as either the network master or a DP device reporting into a higher-level master.
