Siemens 6GK72425DX300XE0 S7-1200 Communications Module

Product Description

The SIEMENS 6GK72425DX300XE0 is a communications module designed for use with the Siemens S7-1200 PLC platform, enabling Industrial Ethernet connectivity in automated control systems. This module extends the networking capability of the S7-1200 CPU, supporting data exchange between controllers, HMIs, and other networked devices on an Ethernet-based architecture. It is installed and configured by industrial automation technicians, controls engineers, or qualified electricians working in manufacturing, process control, building automation, or other industrial environments. The module weighs 0.379 pounds and ships as a single unit per pack.

The 6GK72425DX300XE0 is suited for applications requiring expanded Ethernet communications on S7-1200-based control panels. Typical installation scenarios include machine automation cells, conveyor systems, HVAC building management networks, and process control panels where additional Ethernet ports or protocol support is needed beyond the CPU's onboard interface. This module fits into the modular expansion slot on the left side of the S7-1200 CPU and is configured via Siemens TIA Portal software.

Key Features
