The Siemens 6ES7-216-2AD23-0XB8 is a SIMATIC S7-200 CN CPU 226 compact programmable logic controller designed for small to medium-scale industrial automation applications. This DC-powered unit integrates 24 digital DC inputs and 16 digital DC outputs in a single compact device, eliminating the need for separate I/O modules. It features 16 KB to 24 KB program memory and 10 KB data memory with maintenance-free backup on integral EEPROM. The CPU 226 CN includes two PPI communication ports that can be user-programmed, supporting expansion up to 7 additional S7-22x series modules. With six high-speed counters capable of operating at 20 kHz, pulse outputs, and support for analog expansion modules, this controller is suited for diverse control tasks including conveyor systems, packaging machinery, and process automation. This S7-200 CN product carries CE approval only and is noted as a spare part.
