Siemens 6ES7317-2EK14-0AB0 Programmable Logic Controller CPU Module

Siemens SIMATIC S7-300 CPU 317-2 PN/DP, part number 6ES7317-2EK14-0AB0, is a central processing unit designed for the SIMATIC S7-300 modular PLC family. It provides 1 MB of working memory for program and data storage and offers two communication interfaces: a first MPI/DP port up to 12 Mbit/s for fieldbus or DP networks, and a second Ethernet PROFINET interface with an integrated 2-port switch for local network connections. A Micro Memory Card is required to store the program and configuration data, enabling portable project transfer and offline programming. Programming and commissioning are performed with STEP 7 V5.5 or higher. This PN/DP CPU supports both Profibus DP and Profinet communications, making it suitable for machine control, line automation, and other production tasks that benefit from dual-network connectivity within an S7-300 system. The 6ES7317-2EK14-0AB0 module fits in SIMATIC S7-300 racks and works alongside other modular I/O and communication components in Siemens automation deployments.
