This compact CP 1242-7 module mounts in the S7-1200 rack and measures 30 mm wide, 100 mm high, and 75 mm deep, with a net weight of about 0.133 kg. It provides a front-cover SIM card slot, a female SMA antenna connector, and a 3‑pin terminal block for a 24 V DC supply. Electricals specify a 24 V DC external supply with +\/−20% tolerance; typical current 0.1 A and maximum 0.22 A, and active power dissipation around 2.4 W. The unit operates in environments from −40 to +70 °C (and stores similarly), supports up to 95% relative humidity non‑condensing, and has an IP20 enclosure rating. It offers GSM\/GPRS connectivity across 850\/900\/1800\/1900 MHz, with data rates up to 43 kbit\/s uplink and 86 kbit\/s downlink in GPRS mode, and Multi-slot Class 10 support. Up to three CP 1242-7 modules can be installed per CPU, making it suitable for expanding cellular access within existing SIMATIC S7-1200 systems. In practice, it provides a straightforward way to link S7-1200 controllers to mobile networks for remote monitoring, control, and data transmission over GSM\/GPRS. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Siemens","offers":[{"title":"Used Surplus - Excellent Condition","offer_id":46268622995690,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8039\/3450\/files\/GTG-STOCK-018.png?v=1788727429","url":"https:\/\/gtghardware.com\/products\/siemens-6gk7242-7kx30-0xe0-communication-module","provider":"GTG Hardware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
