Information

Overview Manuals Common Applications Product Precautions
The 6GK7542-1AX10-0XE0 is a single-width communication module supporting Industrial Ethernet connections at 100 Mbit/s. It operates with a 15 V DC supply via the backplane bus and is designed for PROFINET IO communication as a controller or device, configured with STEP 7 Professional V18 or higher.
    • Compact module S7-1500 single width
    • IP20 protection rating
    • Supports cross-segment static IPv4 routing forwarding up to 1 Mbps
The 6GK7542-1AX10-0XE0 integrates one Industrial Ethernet interface with switch functionality, providing two external RJ45 ports supporting a 100 Mbit/s transfer rate. Powered directly via the S7-1500 backplane bus (15 V DC) , it eliminates external 24V cabling. The firmware supports PROFINET IO (Controller/Device), open TCP/IP via T-blocks , S7 communication , MRP , static IP routing, and NTP/SICLOCK synchronization. Additionally, this 35 mm module supports up to 64 concurrent connections and manages 128 PROFINET IO devices. It operates from -30 to +60 °C and holds ATEX and IECEx hazardous-area certifications.

Automotive Manufacturing
Used for PROFINET control and data exchange between the main PLC, robot controllers, frequency inverters, and distributed I/O on automotive final assembly lines.

Water & Wastewater Treatment
Used to achieve cross-regional coordinated communication between multiple remote S7-1500 controllers in large pump stations or wastewater treatment plants via multi-protocol operation.

Oil & Gas
Used to connect control systems of natural gas pipeline compressor stations to the upper plant network, enabling real-time TCP/IP transmission of scheduling data.

Food & Beverage Processing
Functions as a PROFINET IO controller on automated canning and packaging lines to precisely control the synchronous operation of valve manifolds, filling heads, and conveyors.

Power Generation
Used in wind turbine generators to ensure precise timestamp consistency between inverters and the master control system using NTP time synchronization.

Semiconductor & Electronics
Integrates ultrapure water and gas supply systems within cleanrooms into the central monitoring network as an IO device.
 When using 6GK7542-1AX10-0XE0, note that its two ports belong to a switch with a single IP address and cannot isolate two different subnets. Never connect both ports to the same external switch to prevent network loops. Ensure the firmware version in TIA Portal matches the physical module during configuration. Monitor communication loads via built-in web diagnostics or SNMP to prevent CPU cycle timeouts caused by excessive traffic.
