MORE INFORMATION

Overview Manuals Technical notes Product Applications Hardware Mounting Steps

Features:

  • Dedicated RS485 Serial Interface with Screw Terminal Block
  • Multi-Protocol Communication Support
  • Native S7-1200 Backplane Integration
  • Extended Communication Distance up to 1000 Meters
  • Ultra-Compact and Lightweight Industrial Design
  • On-Board Diagnostics and Global Certifications
The Siemens 6ES7241-1CH30-1XB0 is a SIMATIC S7-1200 Communication Board CB 1241 engineered to add dedicated RS485 serial communication capability to the SIMATIC S7-1200 compact controller family. Unlike communication modules that occupy I/O slots, the CB 1241 plugs directly into the dedicated communication board slot on the right side of the S7-1200 CPU, providing a production-grade serial port that operates independently of the CPU's programming interface. This architectural separation allows engineers to maintain online STEP 7 diagnostics and programming via the CPU's native Ethernet or USB port while the CB 1241 simultaneously executes continuous Modbus RTU polling, USS drive control, or Freeport messaging to field devices.

The 6ES7241-1CH30-1XB0 Siemens CB 1241 communication board may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Siemens 6ES7241-1CH30-1XB0 CB 1241 communication board Manuals, Datasheets, Drivers, Link Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
The board exposes a three-position screw terminal block for RS485 wiring: Data+ (A), Data- (B), and an optional shield/drain connection. This terminal-block design is purpose-built for industrial cabinets where vibration, temperature cycling, and maintenance access demand robust, tool-serviceable connections rather than consumer-grade RJ45 plugs. The RS485 interface supports baud rates up to 115.2 kbps and cable lengths up to 1000 meters, enabling the S7-1200 to communicate with distributed sensors, variable-frequency drives, motor management relays, weigh-scale terminals, and legacy RTUs over long trunk lines without signal repeaters.
