NEW 6ES7214-1BD23-0XB8

Key Features & Specifications:

• Digital I/O Configuration: Includes 14 digital inputs and 10 digital outputs (24 total I/O points) for direct connection to sensors (e.g., limit switches, photoelectric sensors) and actuators (e.g., solenoids, small DC motors, or relays).
  • Inputs: 24V DC (sinking/sourcing) with fast response times, suitable for real-time signal detection.
  • Outputs: Transistor-type (DC 24V), optimized for switching DC loads efficiently, with a maximum current per output to handle small to medium DC devices.
• Processing Capability: Equipped with a microprocessor tailored for basic logic operations, timer/counter functions, and simple arithmetic tasks. It executes instructions quickly (e.g., basic logic in ~0.37µs), ensuring responsive control in time-critical small-scale processes.
• Memory: Features 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: Integrates 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 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 scalability as application needs grow.

Integration & Compatibility:

• Power Supply: Operates on DC 24V, making it suitable for systems with direct current power sources (e.g., mobile equipment, battery-backed setups, or DC-powered machinery).
• Programming: Configured and programmed using Siemens’ STEP 7-Micro/WIN software, which supports ladder logic, statement list, or function block diagram programming for intuitive setup.
• Mounting: Designed for DIN rail mounting, fitting seamlessly into control cabinets alongside 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 floors, machine enclosures, or DC-powered environments.

Applications:

• Control of DC-powered machinery (e.g., small conveyors, packaging equipment, or robotic workstations).
• Standalone process control (e.g., material handling, batch mixing, or simple assembly lines).
• Localized control in larger systems where a compact, DC-compatible CPU suffices for specific tasks.
