About the Siemens 6ES7414-4HM14-0AB0
The Siemens 6ES7414-4HM14-0AB0 is the CPU 414-4H, a CPU for the S7-400H redundant system and for S7-400F/FH fail-safe systems. Siemens's data sheet gives it 2.8 MB of memory, 1.4 MB for the program and 1.4 MB for data, an MPI/PROFIBUS DP interface, a PROFIBUS DP interface and two interfaces for fibre-optic synchronisation submodules. It is powered from the S7-400 rack's system power supply.
What is the 6ES7414-4HM14-0AB0 used for?
In an S7-400H system two H-CPUs run the same program and are linked through their synchronisation modules, so the plant keeps running if one fails. It is used in process plants that cannot stop, where a failed CPU must be replaced to restore redundancy.
Lifecycle and successor
Discontinued.
Before you order
What to photograph or confirm so the right unit is quoted.
Check the full order number and the firmware version on the CPU's front label; send a photo of it. S7-400 CPUs of the same type differ by order number in memory and interfaces, so quote against the exact number, and list any interface modules (IF) fitted. For an H system, also note the synchronisation submodules and the firmware of the partner CPU.
