The CP 1243-8 IRC communication processor (Industrial Remote Communication) is used for connecting a SIMATIC S7-1200 in the TeleControl Professional system via the SINAUT ST7 telecontrol protocol to higher-level ST7 stations or to an ST7 control center.
The CP has the following features:
- SINAUT ST7 telecontrol protocol supported
- Two WAN connections for selecting the communication paths:
- Ethernet-based connection: RJ45 port on the module for connecting external routers, e.g. SCALANCE M
- Additional connection configurable via plug-in TS modules
- Both WAN interfaces can also be operated simultaneously: Route redundancy
- Data transfer optimized for telecontrol systems on the basis of SINAUT ST7
- Automatic transmission of alarms per e-mail or SMS
- Time synchronization based on NTP (Network Time Protocol) or via the SINAUT system
- Data buffering of up to 16,000 data messages prevents data loss in the event of temporary connection failures
- Secure communication via VPN connections based on IPSec
- Access protection via Stateful Inspection Firewall
- Fast and simple diagnostics via clear LED indicators, STEP 7 and web browser
- Compact industrial enclosure in S7-1200 design for mounting on a standard mounting rail
The integrated Ethernet interface and the option of using the TS modules provide flexible connection options for the CP. The following TS modules are available:
- TS module RS232
- TS module MODEM
- TS module ISDN and
- TS module GSM.
