Overview
The CP 1242-7 communication processor is used to connect a
SIMATIC S7-1200 to the globally widespread GSM/GPRS mobile
radio network and has the following characteristics:
• Worldwide wireless exchange of data between S7-1200
controllers and/or between S7-1200 controllers and control
centers with an Internet connection
• Communication based on the GPRS (General Packet Radio
Service) mobile wireless service with data transmission
speeds of up to 86 Kbit/s in the downlink and 43 Kbit/s in the
uplink
• GPRS mode with fixed IP addresses and dynamic
IP addresses with standard mobile phone contract
• Time synchronization on the basis of NTP (Network Time
Protocol)
• On-demand connection buildup via voice call or text message
• Sending and receiving of text messages
• Clearly laid out LED signaling for fast and easy diagnostics
• Compact industrial enclosure in S7-1200 design for mounting
on a standard mounting rail
• Fast commissioning thanks to easy configuration using
STEP 7
In conjunction with the "Telecontrol Server Basic" software, the
CP 1242-7 forms a telecontrol system with further properties:
• Connection of up to 5000 telecontrol stations to the control
center via an OPC interface
• Data buffering in the substations in the event of connection
failures
• Central status monitoring of the substations
• No special provider services required for fixed IP addresses
• Teleservice access with STEP 7 to the substations via Internet
