About the Siemens 6ES7321-1FF01-0AA0
The Siemens 6ES7321-1FF01-0AA0 is an AC-voltage SM 321: it reads 8 inputs at 120 or 230 V AC (47 to 63 Hz) rather than 24 V DC, isolated in groups of 2; the 16-input version is the 6ES7321-1FH00-0AA0. Siemens's data sheet gives signal "1" at 79 to 264 V, 6.5 mA at 120 V and 11 mA at 230 V, and an input delay of up to 25 ms. SiePortal shows its product cancellation on 1 October 2024, a year before most of the S7-300 range, and siemens's data sheet marks it as a spare part.
What is the 6ES7321-1FF01-0AA0 used for?
It reads 120 or 230 V AC signals from switches and contacts straight into an S7-300 CPU.
Lifecycle and successor
Discontinued.
Before you order
What to photograph or confirm so the right unit is quoted.
Check the order number and the input voltage on the module: this one is for 120/230 V AC, not 24 V DC.
Other parts in the Siemens SIMATIC S7-300 family
Listed for reference. They differ from the 6ES7321-1FF01-0AA0 in rating, supply, interface or function and are not interchangeable with it unless Siemens says so. Match the part number on your unit.
