NEW 6ES7326-2BF01-0AB0

Key Features & Safety Certifications:

• Channel Configuration: Equipped with 8 digital output channels, operating on 24 V DC, suitable for driving safety-critical devices such as emergency stop relays, safety gate locks, or hazardous-motion interrupters.
• 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 ability to perform reliably in high-risk applications where failure could result in harm to personnel or equipment damage.
• Diagnostics & Fault Tolerance: Integrates built-in diagnostic functions to detect faults like short circuits, overloads, or wiring breaks. Many implementations use redundant signal paths or cross-monitoring to ensure output signals are valid, minimizing the risk of unintended operation.
• Status Indicators: Individual LEDs for each output channel (e.g., “Output Active,” “Fault”) and a module-level LED for power/system status, enabling quick visual verification of operational health—critical for troubleshooting safety loops.

Integration & Compatibility:

• Connection: Uses a 20-pin front connector (with options for screw or spring-loaded terminals) to ensure secure, vibration-resistant wiring, preserving signal integrity in industrial environments.
• System Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with SIMATIC S7-300 safety CPUs (F-CPUs) (e.g., 315F-2 PN/DP, 317F-2 PN/DP) via the S7-300 backplane bus. This allows direct communication with the safety program, ensuring safety functions (e.g., activating a safety lock or stopping hazardous motion) 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, adhering to IEC 61000 and EN 61131-2 standards, ensuring stable performance in factory floors, heavy machinery, or process environments.

Applications:

• Machine safety systems (e.g., controlling safety locks for protective gates, activating emergency brakes on industrial robots).
• Process industries where hazardous operations (e.g., high-speed conveyors, press machines) require immediate shutdown when safety conditions are violated.
• Material handling systems needing to secure access points or halt movement upon detection of unsafe conditions.
