Siemens 6ES7 317-2FK14-0AB0 SIMATIC CPU Module

Siemens 6ES7317-2FK14-0AB0 is a SIMATIC S7-300F CPU317F-2 PN/DP central processing unit for the S7-300 family, designed to control automated machines and production lines with integrated PN/DP and MPI interfaces. It offers 1.5 MB of working memory for programs and data, and features two network interfaces: an MPI/DP interface at up to 12 Mbps for fieldbus communication, and a second Ethernet PROFINET interface with a built‑in 2‑port switch for local device networking. A Micro Memory Card is required to store projects and runtime data beyond the built-in memory. This CPU is intended for industrial automation environments where reliable networked control and Profinet connectivity to I/O, drives, and other PLCs are needed. The 6ES7317-2FK14-0AB0 identification confirms it as the PN/DP‑capable 317F‑2 CPU variant used in S7-300F configurations. For users seeking additional resilience in harsh environments, Siemens also offers SIPLUS variants based on the same base model with features such as conformal coating and extended temperature range; verify the exact model number to determine those capabilities.
