Application 
Application of the CP variants 
The CP is used to connect the ET 200SP to Industrial Ethernet via a copper cable or fiber-
optic cable. It can be used as an additional Ethernet interface of the CPU for S7 
communication. 
For the Ethernet connection, the CP requires a bus adapter that does not ship with the 
product. 
The three CP variants are intended for the following communication tasks: 
● 
 
The CP 1542SP-1 allows the ET 200SP a further Ethernet connection. 
● 
 
The CP 1542SP-1 IRC supports telecontrol communication for connecting the ET 200SP 
CPU to a control center. The following telecontrol protocols can be used as alternatives: 
–  TeleControl Basic 
For connection of the ET 200SP to a master station with telecontrol server 
(TCSB V3 SP3) 
–  DNP3 
For connection of the ET 200SP to a master station with DNP3 masters 
–  IEC 60870-5-104 
For connection of the ET 200SP to a master station with IEC masters 
● 
 
The CP 1543SP-1 has Security functions for network security, such as a firewall and 
VPN. This makes protected access to the ET 200SP possible.
