The CP 343-1 Advanced is used to connect the SIMATIC S7-300 to Industrial Ethernet networks. With its own processor, it relieves the CPU of communications tasks and allows additional connections.

The CP 343-1 Advanced provides the following communications options:

• PGs/PCs
• Master computers
• Operator control and monitoring systems
• SIMATIC S5/S7/C7 systems
• PROFINET IO devices/IO controllers
• PROFINET CBA components

With this, all the devices of an Ethernet network can be protected from unauthorized access. The CP 343-1 Advanced allows secure remote access over the Internet and allows data transfer between devices or network segments to be protected from data manipulation/espionage.

PROFINET CBA components and security functionalities can only be used alternatively.
