Applications
- PROFINET and PROFIBUS communication: The source supports communication with PROFINET IO Controllers, PROFINET IO Devices, and PROFIBUS DP devices through the integrated interfaces.
- Program and system diagnostics: The source supports diagnostic buffer entries, diagnostic alarms, status and control variables, program alarms, and diagnostic indication LEDs.
Key Features
- PROFINET and PROFIBUS interfaces: The CPU has 2 PROFINET interfaces and 1 PROFIBUS interface. The first PROFINET interface provides PROFINET IRT with a 2-port switch; the second provides PROFINET RT.
- Memory and processing: Integrated memory is 1.5 Mbyte for the program and 5 Mbyte for data. A SIMATIC Memory Card is required; plug-in load memory is up to 32 Gbyte.
- 24 V supply: Rated supply voltage is 24 V DC, with a permissible range of 19.2 V to 28.8 V DC and reverse polarity protection.
- Network communication: Supported communication includes PROFINET IO Controller, PROFINET IO Device, PROFIBUS DP master, SIMATIC communication, Open IE communication, OPC UA, and MODBUS TCP.
- Diagnostics and safety: The CPU has a diagnostic buffer with up to 3 200 entries, RUN/STOP, ERROR, MAINT, and STOP ACTIVE LEDs, and supports PROFIsafe, PLe, and SIL 3.
- Installation and environmental limits: Dimensions are 70 mm × 147 mm × 129 mm and weight is approximately 560 g. For horizontal installation, ambient operation is -40 °C to 60 °C; for vertical installation, it is -40 °C to 40 °C.
