PROFIBUS-based systems can be operated effectively for lower operating and maintenance costs:

• Low costs since an automation solution requires no fixed wiring and less hardware
• Fast response to faults thanks to excellent diagnostics options
• Optimized plant and inventory management

The CM 1243-5 also offers further benefits especially for the requirements of micro-automation solutions:

• Uncomplicated connection of the S7-1200 to PROFIBUS
• Low-cost implementation of automation solutions based on PROFIBUS
• Fast commissioning, as no programming overhead is required

Use of PROFIBUS-based micro-automation solutions enables optimal operation of the plant and problem-free production.
