Product details

The 6ES7223-1BL22-0XA8: This is the SIMATIC S7-200 CN EM 223, a digital I/O expansion module intended only for S7-22X CPUs. It provides 16 digital inputs (24 V DC, sink/source) and 16 digital outputs (24 V DC, 0.75 A per channel). The module has no internal short-circuit protection—that must be provided externally. At 6 W typical power loss, it pulls 4 mA per active input at the rated 24 V DC.

The CN version outputs 750 mA per channel; the SMART version outputs 0.5 A. Module width is 137.5 mm for CN, 70 mm for SMART.

Frequently asked questions

What is the width of this module?

The width is 137.5 mm, significantly wider than the newer S7-200 SMART version.

Can the 6ES7223-1BL22-0XA8 be used with an S7-200 SMART CPU?

No. It is designed only for S7-22X CPUs of the S7-200 CN family. The S7-200 SMART uses a different backplane interface and requires the 6ES7223-1BL32-0XB0 or similar.

What compliance markings does this module carry?

The only approval stated is CE. No UL, CSA, or RoHS documentation is listed in the specifications.
