NEW 6ES7326-1BK02-0AB0

Key Features & Safety Certifications:

• Channel Configuration: Equipped with 8 digital input channels, optimized for safety applications. These channels support 24 V DC signals, compatible with safety devices such as emergency stop buttons, safety interlocks, or light curtains.
• Safety Integrity: Complies with stringent international safety standards, including:
  • EN ISO 13849-1 (Performance Level PL e)
  • IEC 61508 (Safety Integrity Level SIL 3)
    These certifications validate its suitability for high-risk applications where failure could lead to harm or equipment damage.
• Redundancy & Monitoring: Features built-in diagnostic capabilities, including detection of short circuits, wire breaks, or signal faults. Many implementations use dual-channel designs (for critical inputs) to enable cross-checking, ensuring signal validity and minimizing false triggers.
• Status Indicators: Individual LEDs for each channel (e.g., “Input ON,” “Fault”) and a module-level LED for power/system status, simplifying rapid troubleshooting in safety loops.

Integration & Compatibility:

• Connection: Uses a 20-pin front connector (with options for screw or spring-loaded terminals) for secure, vibration-resistant wiring—critical for maintaining safety signal integrity in industrial settings.
• System Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with SIMATIC S7-300 safety CPUs (F-CPUs), such as the 315F-2 PN/DP or 317F-2 PN/DP, via the S7-300 backplane bus. This enables communication with the safety program, ensuring safety functions (e.g., emergency stop activation) are executed within required response times.

Industrial Durability:

• Operates reliably in harsh conditions, with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 60°C.
• Resistant to electromagnetic interference (EMC) and mechanical stress, complying with IEC 61000 and EN 61131-2 standards, ensuring stable performance in factory floors or heavy machinery environments.

Applications:

• Machine safety systems (e.g., monitoring emergency stops, safety gates, or protective barriers on production lines).
• Process industries where unsafe conditions (e.g., overpressure, unauthorized access) must trigger immediate shutdowns.
• Material handling systems requiring verification of safety interlock status before equipment operation.
