Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

The Siemens 6ES7278-4BD32-0XB0 is a communication module for the SIMATIC S7-1200 series that adds PROFIBUS DP slave functionality to the controller. Unlike basic expansion modules that only add I/O, this module integrates the S7-1200 into existing PROFIBUS networks as a slave device, enabling data exchange with a PROFIBUS master. It supports data rates up to 12 Mbit/s and provides a 9-pin D-sub connector for the PROFIBUS network.

Highlights

  • PROFIBUS DP slave interface for SIMATIC S7-1200 CPUs
  • Supports up to 244 bytes of input and 244 bytes of output data
  • Data rates up to 12 Mbit/s
  • Powered via the S7-1200 backplane bus
  • Configuration via Siemens TIA Portal

In daily use

The CM 1242-5 module mounts on a DIN rail alongside the S7-1200 CPU and connects to the PROFIBUS network via a standard 9-pin D-sub connector. It draws power directly from the backplane bus, so no separate power supply is needed. The module is configured using Siemens TIA Portal software, which handles the PROFIBUS slave settings and data mapping. It operates in temperatures from 0 to 60 °C when mounted horizontally and up to 50 °C vertically.
