NEW 6ES7231-4HF32-0XB0

Model and Series Identification: This module, designated 6ES7231-4HF32-0XB0, is part of the SM 1231 family of analog input modules for the SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC system, specifically categorized as AI 8x13bit. It is designed to expand the analog input capabilities of S7-1200 controllers, enabling connection to various analog sensors and signal sources.

Function: It converts continuous analog signals (such as voltage or current) from industrial sensors and devices into digital values that the S7-1200 CPU can process. This allows for precise monitoring of physical quantities like pressure, flow, level, or temperature in automation systems.

Input Specifications: Equipped with 8 analog input channels. Each channel can be individually configured for either voltage or current inputs:

Electrical Characteristics: The module draws a maximum current of 130mA from the backplane bus (5V DC). It features galvanic isolation (500V AC for 1 minute) between channels and from the backplane bus, enhancing noise immunity in industrial environments.

Configuration and Diagnostics: Supports flexible parameterization via TIA Portal, including input type, range, and filtering. Diagnostic functions include overvoltage detection and channel-specific error reporting, facilitating quick troubleshooting.

Mechanical and Protection Features: Housed in a plastic enclosure with an IP20 protection rating, suitable for control cabinet installation. Its dimensions are 45mm (width) x 100mm (height) x 75mm (depth), with a weight of approximately 220g. A front connector is required for wiring.

Environmental Compliance: Operates in a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C, with storage and transportation temperatures from -40°C to 70°C. It complies with relevant industrial standards (including IEC 61131-2) and RoHS directives, ensuring compatibility with global markets and environmental safety.
