The CP 343‑2P communications processor is the AS‑Interface master for the SIMATIC S7‑300 and the ET 200M distributed I/O station, with user-friendly parameterizing options.
Supports all AS‑Interface master functions according to the AS‑Interface Specification V3.0
Status displays of operating states and indication of the readiness for operation of connected slaves by means of LEDs in the front panel.
Fault indications (including AS‑Interface voltage fault, configuration fault) by means of LEDs in the front panel.
Compact enclosure in the design of the SIMATIC S7‑300
Suitable for AS‑i Power24V (from product version 2/firmware version 3.1) and for Standard AS‑i with 30‑V‑voltage.
Additionally for CP 343-2P: Supports the configuration of the AS‑Interface-network with STEP 7 V5.2 and higher
The CP 343-2P/CP 343-2 is the AS-Interface master connection for the SIMATIC S7-300 und ET 200M.
By connecting an AS-Interface, a max. of 248 DI/248 DO can be accessed per CP when using 62 A/B slaves with 4DI/4DO respectively.
The integrated analog processing function can be used to easily transfer analog signals (up to 62A/B analog slaves with a max. of 2 channels each or up to 31 standard analog slaves, each with a max. of 4 channels per CP).
The CP 343-2P is an enhancement to the CP 343-2 and has exactly the same functions. An existing STEP 7 user program for a CP 343-2 can be used for a CP 343-2P without limitations. The two assemblies are merely configured differently in STEP 7 HW Config, whereby the CP 343-2P offers additional possibilities. We recommend the CP 343-2P for these reasons.
