The 300 and 312 Interface Modules

Application of the IM 300 and
IM 312
7 - 4
The 300 and 312 interface modules are used for centralized
connection of I/O modules and signal preprocessing modules (IPs) to
a CC via the following expansion units (allowing for possible
configurations):
• • EU 183U
• • EU 184U
• • EU 185U (only input/output modules)
• • EU 187U
• • ER 701-1
Additionally, you can utilize these IMs for secondary communication,
i.e. additional EUs can be connected in a centralized arrangement to
an EU 183U or EU 185U in distributed configuration. Up to four
IM 300s can be used in one CC, up to two of which may be
IM 300-5s. You can use one IM 300 in an EU 183U or EU 185U.
An IM 300 EU interface module is complemented by an IM 312 or
IM 306 CC interface module. Use the following IMs, depending on
the connected EU:
EU Interface Module EU Type
IM 300-5 C EU 184U, EU 187U IM 312-5
(6ES5 300-5CA11)
IM 300-3 EU 183U
(6ES5 300-3AB11) EU 185U (only
I/O modules)
IM 300-5 L ER 701-1
(6ES5 300-5LB11)
There are two versions of IM 312-3 and IM 312-5. They differ in the
length of permanently connected cable:
