FAQ
Q: What is the product status?
Production and standard supply of the CP 1430 TF Basic (6GK1143-0TA02) were officially discontinued as of October 1, 2009, with total discontinuation of supply on October 1, 2015. New units are no longer manufactured by Siemens and must be sourced via the secondary market, refurbished suppliers, or repair services.
Q: What are common firmware versions and updates?
The module uses updates such as Firmware V3.08 (via the SIM 325 kit) and Firmware V3.09 to address hardware/memory revisions and stability fixes.
Q: What causes connection drops with >25 transport connections?
On older revisions or specific firmware/hardware combinations (such as running large data frames >1 KB across more than 25 transport connections), sporadic connection aborts (with error codes like ANZW XAXA) can occur. The user program must handle retries, or the system should be upgraded/migrated.

The module is configured and tested using NCM COM 1430 TF (or related SINEC COM programming packages).
