Siemens 6ES7315-6TH13-0AB0 SIMATIC S7-300 CPU 315T-2 DP

Description

This is a CPU 315T-2 DP central processing unit, model 6ES7315-6TH13-0AB0, from the Siemens SIMATIC S7-300 series. It is engineered for integrated Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and specialized technology tasks, featuring a 256 KB work memory to handle complex automation sequences. The module is equipped with two distinct communication interfaces: a primary MPI/DP interface supporting data rates up to 12 Mbit/s, and a secondary dedicated DP interface for drive control. Integrated I/O specifically for technology functions enhances its capability in motion control and other demanding applications. For operation, this CPU requires a 40-pole front connector and a Siemens Micro Memory Card with a minimum capacity of 8 MB.

Installation Guidelines

1. 1 De-energize System: Before installation, ensure the entire control panel and associated machinery are completely de-energized and locked out according to site safety procedures. Verify zero voltage state with a calibrated multimeter.
2. 2 Mount on DIN Rail: Securely mount the S7-300 backplane rail inside the control cabinet. Position the CPU module on the rail, ensuring it is correctly aligned with adjacent modules, and engage the locking mechanism firmly until it clicks into place.
3. 3 Install Memory Card: Open the front flap of the CPU. Insert the required Micro Memory Card (min. 8 MB) into the designated slot until it is fully seated. Close the front flap.
4. 4 Connect Front Connector: Wire the 40-pole front connector according to the project's wiring diagram. Ensure all terminations are secure. Attach the wired connector to the CPU and fasten the retaining screws to ensure a solid connection.
5. 5 Establish Grounding: Connect the chassis ground terminal of the S7-300 rack to the main control panel's protective earth (PE) busbar using a low-impedance conductor. Proper grounding is essential for noise immunity and safety.
