NEW 6ES7223-1QH32-0XB0

Model and Series Identification: This module, designated 6ES7223-1QH32-0XB0, is part of the SM 1223 family of mixed I/O modules for the SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC system, specifically categorized as 16DI x 24V DC / 16DO x 24V DC/0.5A. It combines a high number of digital input and output channels in a single module to expand the I/O capabilities of S7-1200 controllers.

Function: It acts as a robust interface between the S7-1200 CPU and industrial field devices, receiving external digital input signals (e.g., from sensors, limit switches, or pushbuttons) and converting internal control signals into 24V DC digital output signals. This allows it to monitor multiple input points while controlling various devices such as solenoid valves, relays, and small actuators in automation systems.

Input Specifications: Equipped with 16 digital input channels operating at 24V DC. The input type supports both sink and source configurations, complying with IEC 61131-2 type 1. The rated voltage range is 20.4-28.8V DC, with each input consuming approximately 4mA. Input delay is parameterizable with options including 0.2ms, 0.4ms, 0.8ms, 1.6ms, 3.2ms, 6.4ms, and 12.8ms, enabling adaptation to different signal response requirements.

Output Specifications: Features 16 digital output channels operating at 24V DC with a maximum current rating of 0.5A per channel. The output type supports both sink and source configurations, offering flexible wiring options. The total maximum current for all output channels combined is 8A, with a maximum of 4A per group of 8 channels to ensure safe operation.

Electrical Characteristics: The maximum current drawn from the backplane bus (5V DC) is 130mA. The typical power dissipation is approximately 4W, ensuring efficient energy usage.

Mechanical and Protection Features: Housed in a durable plastic enclosure with an IP20 protection rating, making it suitable for installation in control cabinets. Its compact dimensions are 45mm (width) x 100mm (height) x 75mm (depth), with a weight of approximately 280g, facilitating space-saving integration in control panels. A front connector is required for secure wiring.

Diagnostics and Indicators: LED indicators are provided for each input and output channel, allowing for quick visual monitoring of operational status. This feature simplifies troubleshooting and maintenance by enabling instant identification of active or faulty channels.

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