NEW 6ES7214-2BD23-0XB8

The 6ES7214-2BD23-0XB8 is a compact CPU module from Siemens’ SIMATIC S7-200 series, specifically the CPU 224XP DC/DC/DC model.

This programmable logic controller (PLC) is designed for small to medium-sized automation tasks, featuring a 24V DC power supply. It offers a comprehensive set of onboard I/O: 14 digital inputs (24V DC) and 10 digital outputs (24V DC), along with 2 analog inputs and 1 analog output, making it suitable for both digital control and analog signal processing.

The CPU 224XP DC/DC/DC provides 12 KB of program memory and 8 KB of data memory, sufficient for typical automation applications. It supports up to 7 expansion modules, allowing flexible system expansion to meet specific application needs.

In terms of communication, it is equipped with an integrated RS485 port that supports the PPI (Point-to-Point Interface) protocol, enabling communication with other S7-200 CPUs, HMI devices, and programming software. It also includes a real-time clock for time-stamping events and scheduling time-based tasks.

The module operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 55°C (32°F to 131°F) and is built to withstand industrial environmental conditions, including electrical noise and interference. Its compact design makes it suitable for installation in space-constrained control cabinets.

This PLC is commonly used in various industrial automation scenarios, such as machine control, process monitoring, and small-scale production line automation, where reliable performance and versatile I/O capabilities are required.
