Information

Overview Manuals Common Applications Product Precautions
The 6ES7221-1BH32-0XB0 is a digital input expansion module (SM 1221) for the SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC system. It features 16 digital input channels of 24 V DC equally divided into two electrically isolated common terminal groups, flexibly supporting both NPN and PNP sensor signal wiring.
    • The module's 16 input channels support both sinking and sourcing wiring
    • Dual isolation and optical coupler protection
    • Users can directly configure the digital filter time for the input channels using TIA Portal software
As a state acquisition component within the control cabinet, this module integrates 16 24 V DC digital input channels into its hardware space. Its input circuits utilize a Sink/Source wiring architecture, allowing users to connect NPN or PNP industrial sensors as well as various mechanical switch contacts simply by changing the common terminal wiring, which directly adapts to different onsite third-party devices.

The module is fully compatible with the Siemens automation software system, enabling engineers to complete the hardware configuration by dragging and dropping it into the sliding bus slot on the right side of the CPU within TIA Portal or STEP 7. To reduce industrial electromagnetic interference, optocouplers are configured between the internal channel circuits and the system backplane bus. Working in conjunction with the common terminals divided into two isolated groups, they block overvoltages and noise introduced by long-distance transmission.

Additionally, users can configure channel filter times in the software to filter out signal chatter caused by physical contact bounce, making it a foundational electrical component for building digital data acquisition systems.

Petrochemical & Chemical Industry
Reads valve open/close feedbacks, metering pump running statuses, and overflow switches in non-hazardous auxiliary plant systems.
 The 16 inputs are split into two groups sharing common terminals 1M and 2M. Wiring must strictly match the sensor type PNP or NPN and avoid mixing reference potentials. Route signal wires separately from power cables to prevent EMI. Crucially this module does NOT support hot swapping. Always isolate all power before installation or wiring to prevent hardware damage.

Technical notes

This module achieves electrical isolation between the input channels and the main logic circuits via built-in optocouplers. It allows users to adjust channel filter times within TIA Portal to eliminate mechanical contact chatter. Operating with a typical power loss of only 1.5 W and generating zero direct carbon emissions during its operational phase, the module mounts onto the right side of the CPU via integrated side-sliding bus connectors, serving as a core digital expansion component for the highly reliable data acquisition of onsite pushbuttons, proximity switches, and sensor statuses.
