Siemens 6GK7242-7KX30-0XE0 is used where a compatible SIMATIC S7-1200 station requires GSM/GPRS communication and the site design satisfies the applicable radio, power, environmental and security requirements.

Siemens 6GK7242-7KX30-0XE0 is intended for compatible SIMATIC S7-1200 controller stations and supports a maximum of three communication modules per CPU, subject to the selected CPU hardware configuration and STEP 7 project limits.

Compatibility must be checked against the complete CPU article number, firmware, STEP 7 version, GSM network service, SIM card, external antenna, power supply and national radio approvals. Do not substitute the later 6GK7242-7KX31-0XE0 without an engineering review.

6GK7242-7KX30-0XE0 is an earlier CP 1242-7 communication processor. Availability and service options should be confirmed for the exact article number before ordering, and existing project documentation should be retained for installed systems.

For replacement planning, record the CPU hardware and firmware, STEP 7 project, antenna connection, SIM and network service, configured communication blocks, security settings and national approvals. A successor product must not be treated as a drop-in replacement without checking dimensions, functions, configuration and approval requirements.

Technical notes

Use only with compatible SIMATIC S7-1200 equipment. Verify 24 V DC supply, national GSM approvals, antenna impedance, SIM service, grounding, environmental limits and STEP 7 configuration before commissioning.
