6ES7214-1AF40-0XB0 - Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200F CPU

The Siemens 6ES7214-1AF40-0XB0 operates on a stable DC voltage range of 20.4–28.8 V and features a versatile I/O configuration. It includes 14 digital inputs (24 V DC) for accurate signal acquisition, 10 digital outputs (24 V DC) for direct actuation of devices, and 2 analog inputs (0–10 V DC) for integration with process variables such as pressure, temperature, or position sensors. With a generous 200 KB program/data memory, this PLC supports complex automation routines, safety interlocks, and high-speed communication tasks within a single system.

Compact in size at 11.20 × 11.60 × 8.50 cm and weighing only 0.364 kg, the 6ES7214-1AF40-0XB0 is designed for easy installation in space-limited control cabinets. As a member of the Fail-safe CPUs family, it complies with IEC 61508 safety standards up to SIL2 / PL d, ensuring reliable operation in safety-critical environments. Classified as a PM300: Active Product Lifecycle model, it guarantees long-term availability, firmware updates, and Siemens-certified global technical support. The integration with TIA Portal allows unified engineering for both standard and fail-safe logic, enabling faster project delivery and simplified system diagnostics.

The Siemens 6ES7214-1AF40-0XB0 is widely used in automation projects where safety and control need to work seamlessly together. In automated packaging systems, it manages motion control, synchronizes actuators, and monitors safety interlocks to prevent hazards. In pick-and-place robotics, it ensures accurate positioning while implementing safety zones and emergency stop functions. In process industry lines, it combines pump and valve control with safety shutdown capabilities, ensuring compliance with strict operational standards.

Its onboard I/O capacity makes it ideal for small to mid-sized systems without requiring additional expansion modules, reducing both cost and panel space. The fail-safe architecture ensures immediate safe shutdown in case of system faults, while the TIA Portal integration streamlines programming, simulation, and troubleshooting. OEMs and system integrators value its scalability for projects that may require future expansion, while maintenance teams appreciate its diagnostic capabilities for minimizing downtime. Whether in standalone equipment or part of a distributed automation network, the Siemens 6ES7214-1AF40-0XB0 delivers the reliability, safety compliance, and engineering confidence essential for today’s smart manufacturing environments.
