Product Description: 6ES7341-1CH02-0AE0

The 6ES7341-1CH02-0AE0 is an 8-channel digital transistor-output module for the SIMATIC S7-300 PLC family. In a 40 mm-wide SM 341 form-factor, it delivers eight isolated 24 V DC sinking outputs (PNP- compatible), each rated up to 0.5 A. The “High Feature” design offers per- channel diagnostics (short-circuit, overload, wire-break), configurable output behavior, and status LEDs. Plug-in mounting on the S7-300 backplane provides power and data without additional wiring, making it ideal for compact control systems requiring reliable actuator switching.

Key Features

• 8 transistor (sinking) outputs, 24 V DC, 0.5 A per channel

• Configurable switching behavior and diagnostic thresholds via STEP 7/TIA Portal
• Status LEDs for each output plus module status indicators
• 40 mm module width maximizes I/O density
• Hot-swap support in redundant or safety-rated racks
