The CP 1243-1 PCC for Plant Cloud Communication / Data Driven Services is the
communications processor for connecting the SIMATIC S7-1200 via a public
infrastructure (e.g. DSL) to an operation center.
The integrated Plant Cloud Communication of the CP for connection and transfer of data
values to a operation center can be used for the service offer of Industry Services, e.g.
Asset Analytics Services. Communication with other cloud servers is not supported.

The CP transfers the required data to the communications partner, the operation center.
To obtain a prediction of the status of your system or your devices, the operation center
collects and analyzes the transferred data.
With the help of a firewall, the CP allows protected access to the S7-1200.
The CP can also be used as an additional interface of the CPU for S7 communication.
