Siemens PLC Expansion Module for Use with S7-300 Series, Digital

Widen the operational horizons of your industrial control system using this PLC expansion module from Siemens. It's designed for the S7-300 range and serves as an additional connection point for your external electrical components. The module enables the exchange of operating signals between the connected devices and the PLC in digital format for further processing. As it has eight outputs, you can connect up multiple systems at once. Integrated short-circuit protection is on hand to shield it from fault currents. Use this device for AC/DC solenoid valves, contactors or motor starters in your assembly line and process control systems.

• LED indicator allows for hassle-free status monitoring
• Potential separation between the channels for reduced risk of signal interference
• Light 190g weight doesn't add excessive load to your setup
• Compatible with a cable up to 1000m in length to create an effective long-distance link
• Labelling field on front to simplify function identification

This module has a front connector socket that accepts a 20-pin plug from an external sensor, so it's easy to get your equipment up and running without complex wiring.

Siemens S7-300 Digital and Analogue I/O Modules

Expansion modules and accessories to support the Siemens S7-300 PLC range. Each S7-313 PLC CPU Base Unit may be expanded with up to 8 expansion modules. S7-314 CPU Base Units can accept a total of 4 expansion racks consisting of 8 expansion modules each.,All expansion modules share the following features:

Compact design
LED’s input signal status indication
Front panel connector for actuators or sensors. Connectors can be coded according to application, thus preventing the connection of an incorrect unit
No slot rules: the address of the input corresponds to the slot number
Modules may be configured and the parameters set using STEP 7 Lite software
Data is stored centrally. When a module is removed/replaced data is automatically sent to the new module, removing possible set up errors
