The CM 1243-5 is designed for use in factory automation, particularly for mechanical engineering

With the CM 1243-5, low-cost, distributed automation solutions can be implemented on the basis of the S7-1200 , or in simple cases even complete plant automation systems. It can be used in all sectors of discrete automation. These include, for example:

• Automotive
• Pharmaceuticals
• Semiconductors
• Food processing industry

In mechanical engineering, the S7-1200 can be used with the CM 1243-5 as a central control unit, with sensors, actuators or the HMI devices connected direct via PROFIBUS.
