Communication S7: Siemens technologies for industrial communication in SIMATIC systems
In the Siemens catalogue, Communication S7 identifies the set of technologies dedicated to industrial communication in SIMATIC systems.
This area includes modules and interfaces that allow PLCs to communicate with:
- industrial networks
- HMI
- inverters
- other PLCs
SCADA systems
Main Communication S7 technologies
Siemens organizes industrial communication according to different technologies:
🌐 PROFIBUS – widely used legacy industrial bus communication
Among the main code roots, we find:
👉 6GK7342
👉 6GK7442
👉 6ES7153
👉 6ES7972
PROFIBUS is still widely used today in legacy plants.
🌐 PROFINET – next-generation industrial Ethernet
Among the main code roots, we find:
👉 6GK7343
👉 6GK7443
👉 6ES7543
👉 6ES7155
It is currently the dominant technology in modern architectures.
🌐 Industrial Ethernet – advanced network communication
Among the main code roots:
👉 6GK7443
👉 6GK7343
👉 6GK500x
This family also connects industrial switches.
🌐 Serial Communication – point-to-point interfaces
Main code roots:
👉 6ES7340
👉 6ES7341
👉 6ES7342
👉 6ES7241
Still widely used on legacy machines.
