NEW 6ES7212-1BE40-0XB0

Key Features & Specifications:

• Digital I/O Configuration: Equipped with 12 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs (20 total I/O points) to interface with a wide range of industrial sensors and actuators:
  • Inputs: 24 V DC (sinking/sourcing) with fast response times, compatible with devices like limit switches, photoelectric sensors, or proximity detectors.
  • Outputs: Transistor-type (24 V DC), optimized for switching DC loads such as solenoids, DC relays, small motors, or indicator lights, ensuring efficient control of low to medium-power DC devices.
• Processing Capability: Features a high-performance microprocessor tailored for logic operations, timer/counter functions, and arithmetic tasks. It delivers fast instruction execution (e.g., basic logic in ~0.15 µs), ensuring responsive control in time-critical applications.
• Memory: Includes 12 KB of program memory (for storing user logic) and 10 KB of data memory (for variables, timers, and counters), providing sufficient capacity for typical small to medium automation tasks with room for program expansion.
• Communication: Integrates a built-in PROFINET interface (Ethernet port) to support industrial Ethernet communication. This enables seamless connection to HMI panels (e.g., SIMATIC HMI SMART Line), programming devices, or other PROFINET-enabled equipment, facilitating network integration and remote monitoring.
• Expandability: Supports up to 3 expansion modules (e.g., additional digital I/O, analog I/O, or communication modules), allowing users to scale I/O capacity or add specialized functions as application needs evolve.

Integration & Compatibility:

• Power Supply: Operates on DC 24 V, making it suitable for systems with direct current power sources, such as mobile equipment, battery-backed setups, or DC-powered machinery.
• Programming: Configured and programmed using Siemens’ TIA Portal software (version V13 and later), which offers an intuitive environment for ladder logic, structured text, or function block diagram programming, simplifying setup and maintenance.
• Mounting: Designed for DIN rail mounting, fitting compactly into control cabinets alongside other industrial components, optimizing space in tight enclosures.

Industrial Durability:

• Withstands typical industrial conditions, including an operating temperature range of 0°C to 60°C, and compliance with EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) standards. This ensures reliable performance in factory floors, machine enclosures, or environments with electrical noise.

Applications:

• Control of DC-powered machinery (e.g., conveyors, packaging lines, or assembly stations).
• Process control in small production cells where precise monitoring and actuation of DC devices (e.g., pumps, valves) are needed.
• Localized control in larger systems where a compact, network-enabled CPU with expanded I/O capacity is preferred.
