Description
The Siemens 6GK7343-1EX30-0XE0 is the CP 343-1, Siemens's Industrial Ethernet card for the S7-300 that can also act as PROFINET IO controller. Siemens's data sheet gives an integrated two-port switch with RJ45 ports at 10/100 Mbit/s, ISO and TCP/IP transport, S7 communication and fetch/write, and operation as PROFINET IO controller or IO device, with an external 24 V DC supply. SiePortal lists it as product cancellation and its data sheet marks it as a spare part. Siemens names no direct successor for the order number; its route forward is migration to the S7-1500 with ET 200MP.
Application: Industrial Ethernet and PROFINET for S7-300
Used with: SIMATIC S7-300 rack (S7-300 backplane bus)
What is the 6GK7343-1EX30-0XE0 used for?
It connects an S7-300 to the plant Ethernet and can run PROFINET IO devices (remote I/O, drives) as their controller.
Key features
- Industrial Ethernet, 10/100 Mbit/s, integrated 2-port switch (RJ45)
- ISO and TCP/IP transport
- PROFINET IO controller or PROFINET IO device
- S7 communication, fetch/write
- External 24 V DC supply
- Discontinued by Siemens on 1 October 2025; spare part only

Product Questions
Is the 6GK7343-1EX30-0XE0 discontinued?
Yes. Its manufacturer lifecycle status is Discontinued.
Can another Siemens SIMATIC S7-300 part replace it?
Potential replacements must be checked against the required ratings, dimensions and connections. Sharing a family name does not establish interchangeability.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes. TimControls ships worldwide. Parts usually ship within 3 to 7 working days of order confirmation, and the exact lead time and shipping options are stated on your quote. Include your delivery country and postal code when you ask for a quote.
