NEW 6ES7315-2EH14-0AB0

Key Features:

• Core Processing Power:
  • Equipped with a high-performance 32-bit processor optimized for real-time control, delivering fast instruction execution (as low as 0.08 µs for basic operations) to handle complex automation logic, data processing, and coordination of distributed systems.
  • Includes 512 KB of work memory (RAM) for program execution and data handling, providing ample capacity for large control programs and dynamic data. It supports external load memory via SIMATIC Micro Memory Cards (MMC, up to 8 MB) for secure storage of programs, configurations, and user data.
• Communication Interfaces:
  • PROFINET IO interface (10/100 Mbps, RJ45) for high-speed Ethernet-based communication, supporting PROFINET RT (Real-Time) and IRT (Isochronous Real-Time) for time-critical applications. This enables seamless connectivity to PROFINET devices such as distributed I/O modules, HMIs, robots, and other controllers.
  • PROFIBUS DP interface (up to 12 Mbps) for compatibility with legacy PROFIBUS networks, supporting master mode to connect to field devices, drives, or distributed I/O systems, ensuring flexibility in mixed-protocol environments.
  • MPI interface (187.5 kbps) for programming, HMI communication, and data exchange with other S7-300/400 CPUs, simplifying network configuration and diagnostics.
• Expandability & I/O Flexibility:
  • Unlike compact S7-300 CPUs with integrated I/O, the CPU 315-2 PN/DP relies on expansion via S7-300 I/O modules (digital, analog, specialty modules) connected to the S7-300 rack. This allows scalable customization of I/O counts to match specific application needs (e.g., adding hundreds of digital/analog points for complex machines or processes).
• Functional Capabilities:
  • Supports IEC 61131-3 programming standards, including languages such as LAD (Ladder Diagram), FBD (Function Block Diagram), STL (Statement List), and SCL (Structured Control Language), enabling modular, reusable code development.
  • Integrated diagnostic functions with status LEDs (RUN, STOP, ERROR, PN, DP) for quick visual monitoring of operational status, communication health, and system faults, reducing troubleshooting time.
  • Compatible with Siemens’ TIA Portal (STEP 7) software for programming, configuration, and maintenance, streamlining engineering workflows.
• Mechanical & Environmental Design:
  • Compact, DIN rail-mountable housing designed for seamless integration into S7-300 rack systems, optimizing space in control cabinets.
  • Built for industrial ruggedness, operating reliably in a temperature range of 0°C to 60°C (with appropriate cooling) and complying with standards such as CE, UL, and IEC 61131-2 for resistance to vibration, shock, and electromagnetic interference (EMC).
