6ES7212-1AF40-0XB0 New Original Siemens S7-1200 Plc Programming Controller module

2. Key Selling Points

1. Integrated 8DI + 4 Transistor Outputs – Compact Design:Built-in 8 digital inputs and 4 transistor outputs, with a small footprint, ideal for space-constrained small machines and control cabinets.

2. Transistor Outputs – High-Speed & Frequent Switching Support:24V DC sourcing/sinking transistor outputs offer fast response, suitable for high-frequency switching and high-speed pulse output (PTO/PWM), ideal for solenoids, relays, or stepper motor control.

3. Cost-Effective – Low Entry Price:As one of the most basic CPUs in the S7-200 SMART family, it offers a low-cost entry point for small automation projects with excellent cost-performance ratio.

4. Expandable with Up to 2 Modules – Basic Scalability:Supports expansion with up to 2 signal modules, enabling a maximum of 44 I/O points, meeting the needs of small-scale system growth.

5. Integrated RS485 Port – Multi-Protocol Communication:Features one RS485 interface supporting PPI (for programming and HMI), MODBUS RTU, and Freeport, enabling connection to HMIs, drives, and instruments.
