Siemens 6GK1143-0TB01 SIMATIC NET CP 1430 TF Communication Processor

Product Description

The Siemens SIMATIC NET CP 1430 TF (6GK1143-0TB01) is an extended-function communication processor designed to connect SIMATIC S7-300 PLC systems to Industrial Ethernet networks. This module was engineered for applications that demand deterministic data exchange and precise time synchronization across distributed automation architectures.

Unlike standard Ethernet communication modules, the CP 1430 TF provides enhanced timing performance with millisecond-level accuracy, making it suitable for coordinated control tasks, synchronized data acquisition, and time-critical process operations. It integrates directly into the S7-300 backplane and operates independently of the CPU scan cycle, ensuring stable and predictable communication behavior.

System Integration and Use Cases

The 6GK1143-0TB01 is commonly installed in legacy production lines, process control systems, and synchronized automation cells where S7-300 controllers remain in operation. Its design supports seamless communication with engineering stations, operator interfaces, and supervisory systems over Industrial Ethernet, while maintaining precise time alignment between automation components.
