Siemens 6ES7313-6CE01-0AB0 Programmable Logic Controller Module

Siemens 6ES7313-6CE01-0AB0 is a SIMATIC S7-300 COMPACT CPU module (CPU 313C-2 DP) designed for space‑constrained industrial automation on a standard DIN rail. It combines a 24 V DC powered CPU with an integrated PROFIBUS DP interface and MPI programming interface, enabling master–slave communication with remote I/O and DP devices in applications like conveyor lines and packaging equipment. The unit provides 16 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs, plus three fast counters operating at 30 kHz for high‑speed counting and timing tasks, and it includes 32 KB of working RAM with a front connector (40-pin) and a Micro Memory Card required for program and data storage. Power is supplied from 24 V DC with a typical current draw around 900 mA and roughly 10 W of dissipation; the module weighs about 0.56 kg and occupies a compact footprint suitable for tight control cabinets, with mounting on a standard S7‑300 DIN rail and STEP 7 software compatibility (STEP 7 V5.2 SP1 or newer).
