Ethernet communication processor CP 1243-1

The CP 1243-1 communication processor securely connects the SIMATIC S7-1200 controller to Ethernet networks. With its integrated security functions of firewall (Stateful Inspection) and VPN protocol (IPSec), the communications processor protects S7-1200 stations and lower-level networks against unauthorized access, and protects the data transmission against manipulation and espionage by means of encryption. Furthermore, the CP can also be used for integrating the S7-1200 station into the TeleControl Server Basic control center software via IP-based remote networks.
