NEW 6ES7318-3EL01-0AB0

The 6ES7318-3EL01-0AB0 is a high-performance CPU module from Siemens’ SIMATIC S7-300 series, specifically the CPU 319-3 PN/DP model.

Designed for complex automation tasks, this PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) offers powerful processing capabilities with a clock frequency that enables fast execution of control logic—0.05 µs per binary instruction, ensuring efficient handling of demanding applications. It features a generous memory configuration: 3 MB of program memory and 2 MB of data memory, providing ample space for extensive automation programs and data processing.

In terms of communication, it is equipped with two integrated interfaces: a PROFINET IO interface and a PROFIBUS DP interface. The PROFINET interface supports high-speed industrial Ethernet communication, including PROFINET IO controller functionality, while the PROFIBUS DP interface enables connectivity to PROFIBUS networks with a maximum transmission rate of 12 Mbit/s, supporting both master and slave operations. This dual-interface design enhances flexibility in integrating with various industrial communication systems.

The module supports a wide range of expansion options, allowing connection to numerous input/output modules, technology modules, and communication processors to adapt to diverse application requirements. It includes advanced features such as a diagnostic buffer that can store up to 1000 events, security mechanisms like password protection and block encryption, and support for time-synchronized operations, making it suitable for complex process control and motion control tasks.

Built to withstand industrial environments, it operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F) and has an IP20 protection rating, intended for installation in control cabinets. This CPU is commonly used in medium to large-scale automation systems, including manufacturing lines, process industries, and complex machinery, where high performance and reliable communication are critical.
