16-channel DI with process interrupts
The 6ES7321-7BH80-0AB0 is a SIMATIC S7-300 SM 321 digital input module providing 16 optically isolated inputs at 24V DC, designed for the expanded temperature range variant. It supports hardware interrupts and diagnostic alarms, making it suitable for applications requiring fast fault response and condition monitoring.
Input characteristics and wiring
The module accepts 2-wire sensors with a permissible quiescent current up to 1.5 mA. Signal '1' is detected between 13 and 30V with a typical current draw of 7 mA; signal '0' spans -30 to +5V. The input filter is parameterizable with selectable debounce times of 0.1, 0.5, 3, 15, or 20 ms.
Isolation and diagnostics
Channels are isolated from the backplane bus via optocouplers, with isolation tested at 500V DC. The module reports internal and external faults through its diagnostic function and can generate hardware interrupts for time-critical events.
