NEW 6ES7334-0KE00-0AB0

Key Features & Specifications:

• Channel Configuration: Combines 4 analog input channels and 2 analog output channels, offering a balanced ratio of sensing to control capabilities—ideal for applications requiring simultaneous monitoring of multiple variables and targeted actuation.
• Supported Signals:
  • Inputs: Compatible with standard industrial analog signals, including 0-10 V (voltage) and 4-20 mA (current). This enables measurement of variables such as temperature, pressure, flow, or level from sensors, transmitters, or transducers.
  • Outputs: Supports 0-10 V (voltage) and 4-20 mA (current) signals, allowing precise control of actuators like control valves, variable-speed drives, proportional regulators, or analog displays.
• Accuracy & Resolution: Features 12-bit resolution for both inputs and outputs, providing reliable precision for standard industrial control tasks where high-end 16-bit accuracy is not critical.
• Isolation: Incorporates channel-to-backplane isolation (250 V AC) to safeguard the module and connected S7-300 PLC from electrical noise, ground loops, and voltage spikes common in industrial environments.
• Diagnostic Capabilities: Includes basic built-in diagnostics to detect faults such as wire breaks or short circuits on outputs. Diagnostic data is transmitted to the PLC via the backplane bus, facilitating quick troubleshooting and system monitoring.
• Status Indicators: Module-level LEDs (e.g., power/operation status) and channel-specific indicators provide clear visual feedback on operational health, simplifying on-site maintenance and status checks.

Integration & Compatibility:

• Wiring: Utilizes a 20-pin front connector (with screw terminals) for secure, vibration-resistant connections to sensors, actuators, and power supplies, ensuring stable signal transmission in harsh industrial settings.
• System Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with all SIMATIC S7-300 CPUs (e.g., 312, 314, 315, 317) via the backplane bus. Configurable through Siemens TIA Portal (or legacy STEP 7 software) to define input/output ranges, signal types, and diagnostic parameters.

Industrial Durability:

• Operates reliably in demanding environments with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 60°C.
• Complies with international standards (e.g., CE, UL, IEC 61131-2) for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), vibration, and shock resistance, ensuring consistent performance in factory floors, machinery, and light process applications.

Applications:

• Small manufacturing cells (e.g., assembly stations, packaging lines) for monitoring multiple process variables (e.g., pressure, temperature) and adjusting actuators like grippers or conveyors.
• Building automation sub-systems (e.g., zone-level HVAC) to measure air quality/temperature and control dampers or fan speeds.
• Laboratory or test equipment for acquiring sensor data and regulating test parameters via analog outputs.
