Application and properties

1.1

Connecting the S7-1200 to a mobile wireless network

The CP is intended for use in industrial environments.
Type of communication, mobile wireless standards, frequency bands
Using the CP, the S7-1200 SIMATIC controller can be connected to mobile wireless
networks of the following standards:
● CP 1243-7 LTE-EU
The CP supports the following mobile wireless standards:
– LTE 800 (B20) / 1800 (B3) / 2600 (B7)
– UMTS 900 (B8) / 2100 (B1)
– GSM 850 / 900, DCS 1800, PCS 1900
You will also find the supported frequency bands in the section General technical
specifications (Page 113).
Changing the mobile wireless standard if the network is not available
If the establishment of a connection via a mobile wireless network with the LTE standard
fails, the CP attempts to dial in to an available network with the next lower mobile wireless
standard. Fallback response of the CP 1243-7 LTE-EU: LTE → UMTS → GSM.
This is only possible if the corresponding mobile wireless standard is enabled in the
configuration of the CP.
The CP allows the following types of WAN communication:
● Communication from remote stations to the telecontrol server (TCSB) in the master
station (telecontrol communication)
● Inter-station communication
Communication between stations and the master station (telecontrol communication)
● Direct communication
Direct communication between stations (Open User Communication)
National approvals
