6ES7318-3FL01-0AB0

The Siemens 6ES7318-3FL01-0AB0 is classified as a CPU within the SIMATIC series, emphasizing its role in controlling automation processes. This processor is equipped with a substantial memory capacity of 2560 kbytes, enabling efficient data handling. For communication, it utilizes an RS 485 interface, achieving data transmission rates of up to 12 Mbit/s, which facilitates rapid interactions between devices.

In terms of power specifications, the device operates on a supply voltage of 24 VDC and has a current consumption rating of 1250 mA. The power loss is measured at 14 watts, reflecting the energy efficiency of the unit under typical operating conditions. For inrush situations, the CPU can handle an initial current of 4A, ensuring stability during startup processes.

The CPU is designed to connect with a maximum of 124 DP slaves, allowing for extensive system configurations. It supports an output current interface of 200 mA. To ensure circuits are protected, a 2A external protection for power supply lines is incorporated, safeguarding against potential overloads. In case of a mains failure, the system can retain energy for a brief duration of 5 milliseconds, which is critical for maintaining operations until power is restored.
