NEW 6ES7223-1BH22-0XA8

Key Features & Specifications:

• Channel Configuration: Combines 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs in a single module, totaling 16 I/O points, to extend the system’s ability to interface with industrial devices.
• Signal Types:
  • Inputs: 24 V DC (sinking/sourcing), compatible with sensors such as limit switches, photoelectric sensors, or proximity switches. They support fast response times for real-time signal detection.
  • Outputs: Transistor-type (24 V DC), optimized for switching DC loads efficiently. They are suitable for controlling small actuators like solenoids, DC relays, or indicator lights, with typical current ratings per output to handle low to medium DC loads.
• Isolation: Incorporates channel-to-backplane isolation (typically 250 V AC) to protect the module and connected CPU from electrical noise, ground loops, and voltage spikes—critical for reliable operation in industrial environments.
• Status Indicators: Individual LEDs for each input and output channel (indicating “Active” status) and a module-level power LED, providing clear visual feedback for troubleshooting and operational checks.

Integration & Compatibility:

• Expansion Capability: Connects directly to S7-200 CPUs via the integrated expansion bus, supporting daisy-chain expansion of up to 7 modules per CPU (depending on the CPU model). This allows scalable I/O capacity as application needs grow.
• Power Supply: Derives power from the connected S7-200 CPU or an external 24 V DC supply, simplifying wiring in control cabinets.
• Programming: Configured through Siemens’ STEP 7-Micro/WIN software, which integrates seamlessly with the S7-200 CPU’s logic to control and monitor the expanded I/O points.
• Mounting: Designed for DIN rail mounting, fitting compactly into control cabinets alongside other S7-200 components.

Industrial Durability:

• Operates reliably in typical industrial conditions, with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 55°C.
• Complies with international standards (e.g., CE) for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and mechanical robustness, ensuring stability in factory floors, machinery enclosures, or small production cells.

Applications:

• Controlling and monitoring additional sensors and actuators in packaging machines, conveyors, or material handling systems.
• Integrating more devices in standalone equipment (e.g., small assembly lines, test benches) where the base CPU’s built-in I/O is insufficient.
• Retrofitting existing systems to accommodate new sensors or actuators without replacing the main CPU.
