Product description
6ES5524-3UA15 – CP 524 communications processor for SIMATIC S5
6ES5524-3UA15 is a Siemens CP 524 communications processor from the SIMATIC S5 family. It provides communication between a PLC system and a higher-level device such as an industrial computer or minicomputer. Siemens specified the CP 524 for systems including S5-115U/H, S5-135U and S5-155U. It therefore serves as a communication component in legacy industrial automation installations based on SIMATIC S5.
Selecting a module for an existing installation
Before replacement, compare the complete article number, installed interface module, communication configuration and the requirements of the PLC program. The SIMATIC S5 range included several communications processors with related functions, so visual similarity does not confirm compatibility. Siemens migration documentation identifies CP 544 6ES5544-3UA11 and CP 544B 6ES5544-3UB11 as later successor products for the CP 524. However, a migration still requires verification of the physical interface, protocol and software configuration and should not be treated as an automatic 1:1 replacement.
Manufacturer documentation and related products
Manufacturer information for this article number is available in Siemens SiePortal. Related communication products in the POLRAD catalog include the 6ES5523-3UA11 CP 523 communications processor, the 6GK1543-1AA01 CP 5431 FMS/DP communications processor and the 6GK1147-3MA00 CP 1473 communications processor. These products are functionally related, but they should not be treated as direct replacements without checking the installation documentation.
