Integration & Mounting
The CPU occupies the standard S7-300 single-width slot: 80 mm wide, 125 mm high, 130 mm deep. It mounts directly on the DIN rail and interfaces with the backplane bus. No expandability is provided beyond the CPU's built-in I/O channels (64 inputs, 64 outputs). Program upload and monitoring use MPI (RS 485) or PROFIBUS via CP. The module supports forcing of I/O and variables—useful during commissioning when verifying logic against real field wiring.
