Siemens 6ES72315QA300XB0 Simatic Signal Module

Product Description

The SIEMENS 6ES72315QA300XB0 is a SIMATIC series signal module designed for use with Siemens S7-1200 programmable logic controller systems. Signal modules expand the I/O capacity of a base CPU unit, allowing integration of additional digital or analog field devices into an automated control system. This compact module is sized for DIN rail mounting alongside the S7-1200 CPU and is installed by industrial automation technicians, controls engineers, and licensed electricians working on machine control or process automation applications. Its small footprint makes it well suited for panel builds where space is limited.

This signal module is intended for industrial control panel installations in manufacturing, building automation, and process control environments. It connects directly to the S7-1200 CPU via the module bus interface, extending the controller's I/O without requiring additional communication wiring. Typical applications include discrete machine control, conveyor systems, and HVAC or utility plant automation where additional field I/O points are needed beyond the onboard CPU capacity.

Key Features

• Compact form factor at 3.228 inches x 1.969 inches x 1.181 inches for space-efficient panel installations
• Lightweight construction at 0.073 pounds
• Designed for direct side-by-side mounting with the SIMATIC S7-1200 CPU
• Sold individually, one module per pack

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style signal module for use within the Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 programmable logic controller platform.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or controls engineer familiar with PLC panel wiring and applicable NEC requirements. Always remove power from the S7-1200 CPU and connected field devices before installing or removing signal modules. Modules snap onto the DIN rail and connect to the CPU via the integrated bus connector — no separate bus cable is required. Follow the manufacturer's system manual for I/O address assignment and module configuration in the TIA Portal programming environment.
