What is the 6ES7417-4XT05-0AB0 used for?

It runs the largest S7-400 programs, with up to four communication interfaces, in big production lines and process plants.

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.

Alternatives for 6ES7417-4XT05-0AB0

The manufacturer’s named successor and other parts in the same family. None is a drop-in replacement without checking wiring, I/O and configuration for your installation.
