Product Description
Ready-to-Rack Summary
- Part Number: 6ES7331-1KF02-0AB0 (8-Channel High-Precision Analog Input, 16-bit)
- Condition: Factory New Sealed in Original Siemens Packaging
- Warranty: 24 months (with full calibration certificate & 16-bit accuracy test)
- Availability: 24-hour worldwide dispatch from EU/US stock
- Channels: 8 individually isolated inputs (TC, RTD, ±10 V, 0–10 V, 4–20 mA, 16-bit resolution)
The Most Versatile Analog Input Card for S7-300 in 2025
Still the #1 choice when you need one module to handle thermocouples, RTDs, voltage, and current signals with true 16-bit precision and channel-to-channel isolation. Plants keep it in stock because:
- No external converters – direct cold-junction compensation for all TC types
- 50/60 Hz suppression + open-wire detection on 4–20 mA loops
- Full galvanic isolation (500 V) between channels – perfect for mixed grounding
- Supported in STEP 7 V5.7 and TIA Portal 18
Failure Symptoms Triggering Immediate Replacement
Instrumentation teams order this exact card when:
- “SM 331 overflow/underflow” or channel shows fixed 7FFFh / 8000h
- Diagnostic interrupt 16#E300 “wire break” on healthy 4–20 mA loop
- TC readings drift >3 °C after years of high-temperature exposure
- Cold-junction sensor fails (internal reference always ~25 °C)
Real-World Deployments 2024–2025
- Chemical Reactors: BASF & Dow – mixed TC + 4–20 mA temperature/pressure loops
- Test Cells: Mercedes & VW – high-precision voltage/current for sensor validation
- Power Plants: GE & Siemens turbines – RTD bearing temperature monitoring
