Frequently Asked Questions

Can 6GK7343-1EX21-0XE0 operate as a PROFINET IO controller?

Yes; configure the IO system in STEP 7 and use the approved PNIO send and receive blocks in the user program.

Which S7 rack is intended for 6GK7343-1EX21-0XE0?

Install it in a supported SIMATIC S7-300 central or expansion-rack configuration.

Which Ethernet media connection does 6GK7343-1EX21-0XE0 provide?

The processor provides one 10/100 Mbit/s RJ45 Industrial Ethernet connection.

Does 6GK7343-1EX21-0XE0 support ISO-on-TCP and UDP communication?

Yes; its standard communication services include ISO transport, TCP/IP, ISO-on-TCP and UDP.

Can 6GK7343-1EX21-0XE0 obtain its IP parameters from a DHCP server?

Yes; DHCP is supported when the project and network design use that addressing method.

What must be checked before replacing 6GK7343-1EX21-0XE0 with another CP generation?

Verify the hardware catalog entry, firmware, communication blocks, connection resources, addressing and any changed interface behavior.

What should be preserved before exchanging 6GK7343-1EX21-0XE0?

Back up the STEP 7 project, IP parameters, connection configuration, PROFINET IO assignment, access settings and C-PLUG contents.

Compatibility & Ordering Notes
Before ordering 6GK7343-1EX21-0XE0: match the complete EX21 article number, S7-300 rack, firmware, STEP 7 catalog entry, Ethernet addressing, PROFINET IO configuration, communication blocks and C-PLUG.

Compatibility Checklist

  • Use the exact EX21 hardware entry and supported firmware in the existing STEP 7 project.
  • Keep the configured PNIO_SEND and PNIO_RECV interface and consistent-data limits unchanged unless the program is revalidated.
  • Preserve IP settings, connection resources and C-PLUG data before replacing the processor.
