NEW 6ES7214-1AD23-0XB8

Key Features & Specifications:

• Digital I/O Configuration: Integrates 14 digital inputs and 10 digital outputs, totaling 24 I/O points, to directly interface with sensors (e.g., limit switches, photoelectric sensors) and actuators (e.g., contactors, solenoids, small motors).
  • Inputs: DC 24V (sinking/sourcing), supporting fast response times for real-time signal detection.
  • Outputs: Relay-type outputs, compatible with both AC (up to 250V) and DC (up to 30V) loads, offering flexibility for diverse industrial devices.
• Processing Capability: Equipped with a microprocessor optimized for basic logic operations, timer/counter functions, and simple arithmetic tasks. It executes instructions quickly (e.g., basic logic operations in ~0.37µs), ensuring responsive control in time-critical small-scale processes.
• Memory: Includes 8 KB of program memory (for storing user logic) and 4 KB of data memory (for variables, timers, and counters), sufficient for typical small automation tasks.
• Communication: Features a built-in RS485 port supporting the PPI (Point-to-Point Interface) protocol. This enables communication with programming devices (via STEP 7-Micro/WIN software), HMI panels (e.g., SIMATIC TD or K-TP series), or other S7-200 CPUs for simple networked control.
• Expandability: Supports up to 7 expansion modules (e.g., additional digital I/O, analog I/O, or communication modules like PROFIBUS-DP), allowing users to scale I/O capacity or add advanced functions as application needs grow.

Integration & Compatibility:

• Power Supply: Operates on an AC 100-240V power source, simplifying integration into standard industrial electrical systems.
• Programming: Configured and programmed using Siemens’ STEP 7-Micro/WIN software, which offers a user-friendly environment for ladder logic, statement list, or function block diagram programming.
• Mounting: Designed for DIN rail mounting, fitting seamlessly into control cabinets with other industrial components.

Industrial Durability:

• Withstands typical industrial conditions, including an operating temperature range of 0°C to 55°C and resistance to vibration and electromagnetic interference (EMC), ensuring reliable performance in factory or machine environments.

Applications:

• Control of standalone machines (e.g., packaging equipment, small conveyors, or pumps).
• Simple process control (e.g., basic material handling or batch processing).
• Localized control in larger systems where a compact, cost-effective CPU is sufficient for specific tasks.
