Product Description
Because the S7-200 family is a legacy line, newer automation projects typically migrate to the
Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 controller series. Replacement parts for maintenance are generally sourced through automation surplus or secondary market suppliers.
Versatile Digital I/O and Relay OutputsThe CPU 226 AC/DC/Relay module is equipped with 24 digital inputs and 16 relay outputs, offering ample connectivity and control capabilities for industrial automation systems. Its relay outputs are rated at 0.5A per channel, ensuring reliable switching for a wide range of actuators and devices in control applications.
Rugged Design for Industrial EnvironmentsManufactured with industrial-grade plastic and compliant with Siemens standards, the CPU module ensures durability against harsh operating conditions. It offers IP20 protection and vibration resistance, making it suitable for continuous operation in demanding industrial settings.
Flexible Mounting and Communication OptionsInstallation is streamlined with options for both DIN rail and panel mounting. Integrated communication ports (RS-485, RS-232) and support for protocols like PPI, Freeport, and Modbus allow seamless integration into new or existing PLC automation infrastructure.
