Product Information

As part of the S7-200 module series, the 6ES7 CPU 214-1BC01-0XB0 is among the smallest controllers in Siemens’ S7 family. Nevertheless, this is one workhorse of a processor/controller and offers competent, reliable functionality at a fraction of the size of comparable modules. Expandable with additional expansion modules, the 6ES7 214-1BC01-0XB0 is designed in order to be used either as a standalone module or in conjunction with companion PLC modules. Simply choose the CPU configuration you want and program the modules in with the user-friendly STEP 7 engineering software. The Siemens 6ES7 214-1BC01-0XB0 SIMATIC S7-200 CPU 214 Compact Controller AC/DC/Relay is highly accessible, coming with RS-485 interfaces (MPI/PPI/Freeport). It also has 4 kilobytes of User Program Memory and 4 kilobytes of data memory, which equates to a storage and loading capacity of 2000 words for each. The PLC module comes with 14 24V DC digital inputs and 10 relay contact digital outputs, each 2-amps, along with two analog adjustment potentiometers. Three high-speed counters—one running at 2 kHz and the other two at 7 kHz—help streamline the performance of the Siemens 6ES7 214-1BC01-0XB0 SIMATIC S7-200 CPU 214 Compact Controller during usage under various conditions. The module has an integrated 85-264V AC power supply. For reliability and a trustworthy manufacturer history when it comes to automation and processor/controllers of this sort, consumers often look no further than Siemens. This global manufacturer has been making automation products under the SIMATIC name since 1958 and has been developing their cutting-edge computer hardware ever since. The first of their S7 series, from this same good stock, was released in 1995, and the company continues to research and develop parts for the S7 family in order to keep it at the forefront of automation and products of its type. Exemplifying the old adage that “good things come in small packaging,” the Siemens 6ES7 CPU 214-1BC01-0XB0 Processor/Controller is not only designed to be lighter and easier to handle but also draws its various advantages from its relatively small packaging. It has been among the most popular of products of its type to have come from Siemens and has, in that sense, followed in the footsteps of its equally popular predecessors of the S5 series. Whether you deal in spare parts or are a home computing enthusiast, this is an excellent part to keep in stock alongside your other equipment as it is reliably issued by one of the world’s leading brands.
