Description
The Siemens 6ES7331-1KF01-0AB0 is an SM 331 Analog Input module for the SIMATIC S7-300 PLC rack, providing 8 differential analog input channels with optical isolation, supporting voltage (±10V, ±5V, ±2.5V, 1–5V), current (0/4–20mA), and resistance (RTD — via 4-wire/3-wire/2-wire with compensation, thermocouple via ext. CJC reference or with 7HFxx version) inputs. The related models cover different channel counts, resolutions, and measurement types:
- 6ES7331-1KF01-0AB0 / 1KF02-0AB0 → 8 AI channels, 13-bit + sign (14-bit total), Voltage/Current/Resistance (RTD w/ compensation — no TC direct on -1KF0x unless via ext. transmitter or 7HFxx)
- 6ES7331-7HF01-0AB0 → 8 AI channels, 14-bit + sign (15-bit total), adds Thermocouple (TC) & Resistance thermometer (RTD) direct measurement with built-in CJC — higher resolution than -1KF0x
- 6ES7331-7PF01-0AB0 → 8 AI channels, 16-bit (high-resolution), TC/RTD direct, faster conversion — for high-precision process measurement
All SM 331 modules plug into the S7-300 central rack (or distributed via IM 153-1/2 in ET 200M) and are configured in STEP 7 / TIA Portal — measuring range, smoothing (averaging), and diagnostic interrupts are set via hardware configuration.
Key Features
- Inputs: 8 × differential analog inputs (isolated group — 2 groups of 4 channels share common return per group on -1KF0x/7HF0x)
- Measured Values: Voltage (±10V etc.), Current (0/4–20mA), Resistance (2/3/4-wire RTD — 7HFxx & 7PFxx directly; -1KF0x needs ext. conversion or 3-wire with compensation), Thermocouple (7HFxx / 7PFxx — with CJC)
- Resolution: 13-bit + sign (1KF0x) / 14-bit + sign (7HF0x) / 16-bit (7PF0x)
- Isolation: Optical isolation between bus & analog circuitry (≥ 500 V AC typical)
- Diagnostic: Wire-break detection (for current mode), overflow/underflow flags, module fault LED (SF)
- Country of Origin: Germany / Hungary / China (Siemens Global)
Model & Capability Table (S7-300 SM 331 Analog Input Modules)
Model | Channels | Resolution | Direct TC/RTD? | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
6ES7331-1KF01-0AB0 / 1KF02-0AB0 | 8 AI | 13-bit + sign (≈ 0.3% FS) | ❌ No (RTD via linearization; TC needs ext. transm./7HFxx) | Std. voltage/current signals (flow/pressure tx) |
6ES7331-7HF01-0AB0 | 8 AI | 14-bit + sign (≈ 0.15% FS) | ✅ Yes (TC Type J/K/T/E/S/R/B/N; RTD Pt100/Ni100 etc.) | Temp. meas. + analog — built-in CJC |
6ES7331-7PF01-0AB0 | 8 AI | 16-bit (high-res) | ✅ Yes (TC/RTD) | High-precision lab/metallurgy temp./analog |
6ES7331-7NF00-0AB0 | 8 AI (Fast) | 14-bit + sign | ❌ (fast version — no TC/RTD) | Fast cyclic AI (≤ 1.25 ms/conversion) |
⚠️ Important Selection Notes:
-1KF0x vs -7HF0x: If you need direct thermocouple or RTD input, you MUST use -7HF01-0AB0 or -7PF01-0AB0. The -1KF0x can do RTD with 3-wire linearization but no built-in CJC for TC — TC would need external transmitter (4–20mA or 0–10V). Wiring: -1KF0x/7HF0x typically group channels 0–3 & 4–7 — each group has a common return (M0-/M4-). Keep cable shields connected to the M- terminal or rack ground per manual. Use shielded twisted-pair for analog runs. Front Connector: Requires 40-pin front connector (6ES7392-1AJ00-0AA0 = screw; 6ES7392-1BJ00-0AA0 = spring) — NOT included with module! Order separately. Slot Placement: In S7-300 central rack, analog modules can go in slots 2–4 (after CPU + power supply in slot 1). In distributed ET 200M (IM 153-1/2), any slot. Supply: Module draws from backplane 5V bus — check total load with CPU spec (typical 60–100 mA from 5V bus).
