Product description

Siemens 6GK7542-1AX10-0XE0 is the CM 1542-1 communications module for the SIMATIC S7-1500 automation system. The module provides an S7-1500 station with a separate Industrial Ethernet or PROFINET connection. Two electrically isolated RJ45 sockets form an integrated 2-port switch. Siemens documents line and ring structures as well as the Media Redundancy Protocol MRP. The port configuration and full article number distinguish this version from communications processors with a different number of ports and additional security functions. The Ethernet interface operates in accordance with IEEE 802.3 using 100BASE-TX and 100 Mbit/s in full-duplex mode. Auto-Crossover is documented for both ports. Communication services include PROFINET IO as Controller and Device, TCP/IP, ISO-on-TCP, UDP and S7 communication. IP Broadcast and IP Multicast, SNMPv1 and time synchronization via NTP supplement the network functions. The technical data also lists Autonegotiation and automatic detection of the transmission rate. Power is supplied from the S7-1500 backplane bus at 15 V DC. Siemens states a typical current consumption of 200 mA and typical power loss of 3 W. The module has the compact, single-width S7-1500 format and is mounted on the station rack or mounting rail. The permitted horizontal operating temperature range is -30 to +60 °C; -30 to +40 °C is documented for vertical installation. Storage and transport temperatures range from -40 to +70 °C. The maximum permitted relative humidity is 95 percent at 30 °C. The mechanical data is 35 × 147 × 129 mm and 260 g. Both the complete 6GK7542-1AX10-0XE0 article number and the CM 1542-1 device designation are therefore relevant for identification. Other hardware versions in the Siemens communications module family have a different functional scope.

What is the function of Siemens 6GK7542-1AX10-0XE0?

The CM 1542-1 provides a SIMATIC-S7-1500 station with a PROFINET or Industrial Ethernet interface and an integrated 2-port switch.

Which network connections does the CM 1542-1 have?

The module has two electrically isolated RJ45 connections for 100BASE-TX at 100 Mbit/s in full-duplex mode.

What applies if an item develops a defect within 14 days?

For the condition categories “Used, removed from an installation” and “New, old stock”, the contractual 14-day right of return in the event of a defect applies. The defect must occur within 14 calendar days after delivery and be reported in text form within the same period.

In particular, the REHA tamper-evident seal must remain fully intact and our RMA approval is required before return. In an accepted case, we decide between replacement and refund. Details in Section 11 of the Terms.

Which shipping methods and delivery times are available?

The shipping method, shipping cost and estimated delivery time are confirmed for the specific order. Depending on the item, destination and urgency, we can check parcel, express or freight shipping as well as collection.

A delivery date is binding only if we expressly confirm it as binding.

Which payment terms apply?

The payment terms stated in the checkout or order confirmation apply. Depending on the order and customer, payment is made in advance or against invoice.

International deliveries and deliveries to new customers are generally made against advance payment unless we expressly confirm another payment arrangement.

Can I return an item ordered incorrectly or found incompatible?

No. There is no general B2B right of return, exchange, cancellation or withdrawal. Incorrect or duplicate orders and a lack of suitability or compatibility with the customer’s installation are not covered by the contractual 14-day right of return in the event of a defect. Details in Section 12 of the Terms.

Can I request individual pricing for several items?

You may request an individual quotation for several items or larger quantities. We then check availability and pricing for the specific requirement; there is no entitlement to a quantity discount. Open the quick enquiry.

Do you also purchase industrial spare parts?

Yes. You can offer us automation and drive components for purchase. Please provide complete type numbers, quantities, condition details and photographs where possible.

After review, we will tell you whether a purchase is possible and on which terms. Learn more about selling industrial stock.
