Engineered for space‑efficient cabinet layouts, the Siemens 6ES7317-2AK14-0AB0 weighs just 0.406 kg and has compact packaging dimensions of 12.80 × 15.00 × 5.20 cm, making integration straightforward for OEMs and retrofit projects. Belonging to the CPU 317‑2 DP product family and classified under PM400: Phase Out Started, it remains supported while many facilities continue to standardize on S7‑300 for installed bases.
Built in Germany, this CPU delivers dependable operation in industrial environments, with the dual PROFIBUS interfaces enabling simultaneous controller‑to‑controller links, remote I/O exchanges, and high‑speed device diagnostics over DP. The first port (MPI/DP, 12 Mbit/s) streamlines engineering access and peer networking, while the second port (DP master/slave) gives flexible topology options for segmenting drives, remote I/O racks, and legacy instruments. Together with MMC‑based storage and proven S7‑300 tooling, the 6ES7317-2AK14-0AB0 offers a stable, serviceable control core for long‑running plants.
In real‑world deployments, the Siemens 6ES7317-2AK14-0AB0 excels in packaging lines, conveyor systems, batching skids, and assembly cells that rely on deterministic PROFIBUS cycles and tight device coordination. Maintenance teams value its fast device replacement using the Micro Memory Card and its built‑in fieldbus diagnostics, which shorten fault‑finding and reduce downtime. Systems integrators appreciate the dual‑interface design for isolating noisy or high‑traffic DP segments, while still keeping engineering access available over MPI/DP. For engineering students and junior technicians, it’s a practical platform to learn PROFIBUS DP master/slave architectures, remote I/O mapping, and structured PLC program management. Although it sits in the PM400 lifecycle phase, many plants continue to specify the CPU 317‑2 DP for expansion projects thanks to its reliability, footprint compatibility, and mature ecosystem of modules and tools. Choose the Siemens 6ES7317-2AK14-0AB0 when you need proven S7‑300 performance, flexible DP networking, and a durable control backbone that supports efficient commissioning and long‑term serviceability.
