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