It runs the standard S7-300 form factor — 40 mm wide, 125 mm tall, 130 mm deep — and supports a full programming language set: LAD, FBD, STL, SCL, GRAPH, HiGraph, and CFC. That means any S7-300 project already written in these languages ports over without rewriting logic blocks. Key spec: FM 8 — that's the number of fail-safe digital inputs (or the safety-related function modules) the CPU handles internally. For a safety application, FM 8 means you can wire eight safety-rated sensors directly without an expansion module, though the CPU itself is not expandable — so plan your I/O count at order time. ## Integration constraints This CPU does not support PROFIsafe — the safety protocol over PROFIBUS is absent here, so safety communication must be handled via hardwired F-DI/F-DO or a separate safety bus coupler. MPI is also not available; PROFIBUS DP is the onboard fieldbus. For Ethernet connectivity, you need a CP (communication processor): up to 4 CPs via the backplane, and up to 10 CPs on the LAN side total. PtP connections are limited to 8 via CP. The CPU supports PROFIBUS DP routing (only with an active interface) and can act as a DP client via CP and loadable FB, or as a DP server. The GSD file for PROFIBUS integration is available from Siemens' website. Retentive data must be restarted at each restart — plan your startup logic accordingly.","metaTitle":"Siemens 6ES7317-6FF04-0AB0 CPU 317F-2 DP, SFB, FM 8","metaDescription":"Siemens CPU 317F-2 DP (6ES7317-6FF04-0AB0) — SFB type, FM 8, CFC, FBD, LAD, SCL, STL, GRAPH, HiGraph. 244 byte I/O, 32 modules, PROFIsafe No. Sourced to order.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers)"],"specifications":{"FM":"8","CFC":"Yes","FBD":"Yes","I2t":"1 A²·s","LAD":"Yes","MPI":"No","SCL":"Yes","STL":"Yes","DPV1":"No","Max.":"60 °C","Min.":"0 °C","Type":"SFB","Depth":"130 mm","GRAPH":"Yes","Width":"40 mm","Height":"125 mm","Inputs":"244 byte","Number":"4","Preset":"10","RS 485":"Yes","STEP 7":"Yes;
