More about S7-1500 communication modules and how to choose them
SIEMENS SIMATIC S7-1500 communication modules and processors
S7-1500 communication modules extend PLC communication with distributed I/O, HMI panels, drives, sensors, other PLCs and higher-level systems. Depending on the module type, the system can be connected to PROFINET, Industrial Ethernet or PROFIBUS DP networks, use serial communication or connect IO-Link devices.
PROFINET and Industrial Ethernet
CM 1542-1 modules and CP 1543-1 and CP 1545-1 communication processors extend S7-1500 connectivity to industrial Ethernet networks.
PROFIBUS DP
CM and CP 1542-5 modules enable S7-1500 connection to PROFIBUS DP and allow existing PROFIBUS devices to be retained when modernising a system.
PtP serial communication
CM PtP modules for RS-232 and RS-422/485 enable communication with serial devices, converters, measuring equipment and legacy systems.
IO-Link and Telecontrol
An IO-Link Master is available for connecting IO-Link devices. TIM telecontrol modules are intended for communication in remote and distributed technological applications.
How to choose the right S7-1500 communication module?
The safest method is to select the module using the complete SIEMENS order number. When replacing an older module or selecting a different version, check in particular:
- the required communication interface and industrial network,
- whether you need a CM module or CP communication processor,
- supported communication protocols,
- the required role of the device in the network,
- number and type of communication interfaces,
- HW and FW version of the original module,
- compatibility with the CPU and hardware configuration in TIA Portal.

New and refurbished parts from stock
For current SIMATIC S7-1500 communication modules, we primarily check the availability of a new original SIEMENS part. We use an extensive European warehouse network with more than 900,000 industrial spare parts.
This also enables us to source refurbished, older or obsolete communication modules. If you cannot find a specific order number in the e-shop, send it to us and we will prepare a quotation with price and delivery time.
Repairs of SIEMENS SIMATIC S7-1500 communication modules
If you have a faulty communication module or processor, you can send it to us for diagnostics and repair. Repairs are carried out in specialised repair centres in Europe with which we have established long-term cooperation.
These repair centres specialise in industrial electronics and repaired parts are functionally tested before being returned to the customer.
SIPLUS communication modules
Selected SIPLUS versions are also available for applications operating under more demanding environmental conditions. You can find them in a separate S7-1500 communication module subcategory.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Ideally, send us the complete SIEMENS order number from the nameplate, for example 6GK7542-1AX10-0XE0, and the required quantity. We will prepare a quotation with price and delivery time, usually within 1 hour.
Yes. We also check other parts in European warehouses. Send us the order number and we will prepare a quotation based on current availability.
Yes. Send the faulty module to FOXON. We will arrange diagnostics, repair and subsequent functional testing at a specialised European repair centre with which we have long-term cooperation.
Not always. The communication interface, supported protocols, HW and FW version, required module function and hardware configuration in TIA Portal must be checked.
CM is a communication module used to extend the PLC communication interfaces. CP is a communication processor with extended communication functions. When replacing a module, we recommend using the specific order number and required application as the basis.
Yes. The S7-1500 range includes CM PtP communication modules for RS-232 and RS-422/485 interfaces.

How to capture sporadic faults on Siemens S7 PLCs
Sporadic faults on Siemens SIMATIC S7 PLCs are difficult to find using standard online diagnostics. In this article, we show how auto.spy analyzer helps capture signals, events and video on a single timeline and trace the root cause of the problem afterwards.
