CPU specification and integration note
The 6ES7288-1ST40-0AA1 is a Siemens S7-1200 CPU with 24 kbyte program memory, 144 bytes each of digital and analog inputs and outputs, and a hardware clock with no battery backup — the RTC is maintenance-free and holds for 7 days after power loss. It supports LAD, FBD, and STL programming, and includes a PID closed-loop control function for up to 8 loops. The CPU is parameterizable for 6 single-phase high-speed counters (4 at 200 kHz, 2 at 30 kHz) or 4 A/B phase counters (2 at 100 kHz, 2 at 20 kHz). PROFIBUS connectivity is available via a CM DP module.
Sourcing and fit considerations
The CPU occupies a 125 mm × 100 mm × 81 mm footprint on standard DIN rail. The RS 485 interface runs at up to 187.5 kbps, and the PROFINET interface supports autonegotiation and autocrossing. For a panel that was specified around the 6ES7223-1BL32-0XB0, note that this is a different CPU model — the I/O mapping and form factor differ; a full BOM review is required before substitution.
