Siemens 6GK7542-1AX10-0XE0 is the CM 1542-1 communications module for connecting a SIMATIC S7-1500 system to PROFINET as an IO Controller or IO Device.
The module provides one Industrial Ethernet interface with two RJ45 connections operating at 100 Mbit/s.
Supported communication includes TCP/IP, ISO-on-TCP, UDP, S7 communication, IP broadcast and multicast, SNMPv1, and NTP time synchronization.
Official Siemens technical data specifies a 15 V DC backplane supply, 0.22 A typical current consumption, 3.3 W power loss, IP20 protection, and module dimensions of 35 x 142 x 129 mm.
The permitted operating range is -30 to +60 C for horizontal installation and -30 to +40 C for vertical installation, without condensation or icing.
Siemens classifies 6GK7542-1AX10-0XE0 as PM300 - Active Product and lists it as the successor to 6GK7542-1AX00-0XE0; migration requires STEP 7 Professional V18 or higher and verification of the CPU, rack, project, interfaces, and network configuration.
Siemens 6GK7542-1AX10-0XE0 is the CM 1542-1 communications module for SIMATIC S7-1500.
It connects an S7-1500 system to PROFINET as an IO Controller or IO Device.
One Industrial Ethernet interface provides two RJ45 connections at 100 Mbit/s.
Supported communication includes TCP/IP, ISO-on-TCP, UDP, S7 communication, IP broadcast and multicast, SNMPv1, and NTP.
The module uses a 15 V DC backplane supply, with 0.22 A typical current consumption and 3.3 W power loss.
Siemens lists the article as PM300 - Active Product.
The product family and type designation are CM 1542-1.
The hardware is a compact S7-1500 module in single-width format.
The module supports PROFINET IO Controller and PROFINET IO Device operation.
It has one Industrial Ethernet interface with two RJ45 connections.
The transfer rate is 100 Mbit/s.
Open communication and S7 services include TCP/IP, ISO-on-TCP, UDP, S7 communication, IP broadcast and multicast, SNMPv1, and NTP.
The enclosure protection rating is IP20.
The module is used to connect a compatible SIMATIC S7-1500 system to PROFINET.
It can add PROFINET IO Controller or IO Device functions when supported by the CPU, rack, and project.
TCP/IP, ISO-on-TCP, and UDP can support approved open Industrial Ethernet communication tasks.
S7 communication, IP broadcast and multicast, SNMPv1, and NTP can be used when configured in the engineering project.
Application suitability must be verified against the exact article number, CPU, rack, firmware, network topology, protocols, STEP 7 project, environmental limits, cybersecurity requirements, and current Siemens documentation.
Match the exact Siemens article number 6GK7542-1AX10-0XE0 before installation.
Confirm the 15 V DC backplane supply, 0.22 A typical current consumption, and 3.3 W power loss against the selected S7-1500 rack.
Verify whether the module will operate as a PROFINET IO Controller, IO Device, or both in the approved CPU and project configuration.
Check both RJ45 connections, 100 Mbit/s transfer rate, IP addressing, network topology, and the required communication protocols.
Siemens specifies STEP 7 Professional V18 in TIA Portal or higher for engineering.
The module measures 35 x 142 x 129 mm, uses the S7-1500 rail mounting method, and has IP20 protection.
Observe -30 to +60 C for horizontal installation, -30 to +40 C for vertical installation, and the stated altitude restrictions above 2000 m.
Verify firmware, diagnostics, time synchronization, cybersecurity measures, grounding, cabling, and current Siemens documentation before commissioning or migration.
Siemens lists 6GK7542-1AX10-0XE0 as PM300 - Active Product.
Siemens lists this article as the successor to the discontinued 6GK7542-1AX00-0XE0.
The successor relationship does not remove the need for an engineering check because STEP 7 Professional V18 or higher is required.
Verify the S7-1500 CPU and rack, firmware, project conversion, PROFINET roles, interfaces, protocols, addressing, and network topology before migration.
AMIKONG can assist with locating available 6GK7542-1AX10-0XE0 units according to the required quantity and destination.
Use the exact Siemens article number and validate the installation against current Siemens information and the installed machine.
