Preface
CP 1243-1 DNP3, CP 1243-1 IEC
4 Operating Instructions, 02/2014, C79000-G8976-C312-02
The CP 1243-1 IEC has the same outer design as the CP 1243-1 DNP3 apart from the
inscriptions for the product name, article number, firmware version and possibly hardware
product version.
At the top right behind the hinged cover of the module housing, you will see the hardware
product version printed as a placeholder "X" after the article number. If the printed text is, for
example, "X 2 3 4", "X" would be the placeholder for hardware product version 1.
