|
|
Communication Processor Role
The 6ES7340-1CH02-0AE0 is the RS-422/485 version of the SIMATIC S7-300 CP 340 communication processor. It is intended for point-to-point data exchange between an S7-300 controller and compatible serial communication partners.
◆
SERIAL COMMUNICATION
The integrated interface supports RS-422/485 communication through an X.27 interface. The interface is electrically isolated, providing separation between the serial connection and the S7 internal supply.
|
|
|
01
3964(R)
The CP 340 firmware integrates the 3964(R) transmission procedure. For this model, the maximum telegram length with 3964(R) is 1,024 bytes.
|
02
ASCII Driver
ASCII communication is integrated into the CP 340. The maximum telegram length specified for ASCII operation is 1,024 bytes.
|
03
Printer Driver
The CP 340 also provides an integrated printer driver. Supported printer families include HP DeskJet, HP LaserJet, IBM Proprinter and user-defined printers.
|
|
3964(R)
19.2 kbit/s max.
|
ASCII
9.6 kbit/s max.
|
PRINTER
9.6 kbit/s max.
|
TELEGRAM
Up to 1,024 bytes
|
|
SYSTEM FIT
Where CP 340 Adds Value
The CP 340 is designed for applications where an S7-300 controller needs a dedicated serial communication channel for point-to-point exchange with external devices.
|
|
|
BACKPLANE SUPPLY
5 V DC
Power is supplied through the S7 backplane bus.
|
CURRENT CONSUMPTION
165 mA max.
Maximum current from the 5 V DC backplane supply.
|
OPERATING RANGE
0 to +60 °C
Specified ambient operating temperature range.

Inquiry Checklist
For an accurate quotation, please provide:
|
|
Can 6ES7340-1CH02-0AE0 be used when an S7-300 system requires RS-422/485 rather than RS-232?
Yes. This order number corresponds specifically to the CP 340 variant with an integrated RS-422/485 (X.27) interface. The other CP 340 variants use RS-232C or 20 mA-TTY interfaces.
|
What protocol options should be considered for 6ES7340-1CH02-0AE0 replacement planning?
The CP 340 integrates the 3964(R), ASCII and printer drivers. The CP 340 does not provide the CP 341's reloadable customer-specific driver capability, so the communication requirement should be checked before substitution.
|
|
Does 6ES7340-1CH02-0AE0 support long-distance serial connections?
The Siemens data for this variant specifies a maximum point-to-point cable length of 1,200 m. Actual installation suitability still depends on the interface conditions, cable design and communication configuration.
|
Is 6ES7340-1CH02-0AE0 suitable for an existing CP 340 installation?
It belongs to the CP 340 family and uses the S7-300 backplane architecture. For a replacement, verify the installed interface type, communication protocol, wiring and configured parameters rather than matching only the CP 340 family name.
|
|
What should be checked before ordering 6ES7340-1CH02-0AE0 for a maintenance project?
Confirm the complete order number, RS-422/485 interface requirement, existing communication protocol, required transmission rate, connector and cabling arrangement, and the S7-300 system configuration. These checks help distinguish this variant from the RS-232C and 20 mA-TTY CP 340 versions.
