Siemens Communication Module, 2 x FREEZE Inputs, 235g Weight - SIMATIC S7-300 Series - 6ES7338-4BC01-0AB0 Need to transmit positional data in your PLC? Choose this 24V DC communication module from Siemens. When an S7-300 encoder reads the position of a rotating element, the unit sends that reading to other devices in the system. It has a maximum shielded cable length of 600m, which means it's ideal for large work areas. A versatile piece of kit, it's also broadly compatible with components in the SIMATIC S7-300 series. Communication modules like this one are often used in robotics and the automotive industry. Features & Benefits • Built-in alarm allows for quick diagnostics
• Input delay of 300 microseconds means it's highly responsive
• Compact dimensions of 40 (W) x 125 (H) x 120mm (D) make it suitable for cramped spaces
• Low weight of 235g, so it's easy to handle
• Optional isochronous mode lets you process multiple readings simultaneously How many encoders can I link to this module? This communication module can connect to as many as three SSI encoders, so it's multitalented and works well in large setups.
