The 6ES7288-3AR04-0AA0 serves as the sensory bridge for your PLC, converting real-world analog variables into actionable digital data. Its standout feature is the 16-bit resolution (including sign bit), which allows for incredibly fine-grained quantization. This level of detail is critical when even a fraction of a millivolt or milliampere makes the difference between a stable process and a system failure.
Engineered for industrial efficiency, the module operates on a standard 24V DC supply with a forgiving tolerance range of -15% to +20%, ensuring stability even during minor voltage fluctuations. On the hardware side, it's remarkably efficient—drawing only 40 mA (typical) from the 24V supply and 80 mA from the 5V DC backplane bus. With a total power loss of just 1.5 W, it minimizes heat buildup within the control cabinet, extending the lifespan of adjacent components.
Process Control (Pressure, Flow, & Leaks): In chemical dosing or water treatment, close enough isn't good enough. If you're monitoring gas or liquid flow, you need to catch tiny pressure drops before they become a pipe failure. Because this module hits 16-bit resolution, it picks up micro-fluctuations that 12-bit or 13-bit modules simply miss.
Tight-Tolerance Thermal Management: Running an industrial oven or cold storage unit requires constant, multi-point monitoring. With four dedicated channels, you can track four different zones simultaneously. The high-resolution input ensures your temperature curves stay flat, which is critical for preventing product spoilage or ensuring heat-treatment processes meet strict QC standards.
Tension Control & Precision Weighing: If you're working with paper, textiles, or plastic films, the material will snap or bunch up if the tension isn't perfect. This module takes the analog feedback from load cells or dancer rolls and feeds it to the PLC for micro-second motor speed adjustments. It's also sensitive enough for industrial weighing scales where every gram counts.
Compact Machine Building: In injection molding or high-speed packaging, the control cabinet is usually packed tight. The 6ES7288-3AR04-0AA0 is designed for these cramped spaces. It draws very little power (1.5W loss), so you don't have to worry about it overheating its neighbors on the DIN rail. It provides high-end data accuracy without the footprint or the cost of a high-tier S7-1500 setup.
We're not just moving boxes. We're global hunters. With a footprint in 166 countries, we've made it our mission to source the rare, the "obsolete," and the hard-to-find. If your line is down, we aren't just checking a database; our multilingual team is contacting suppliers and scouring every corner of the globe to get you back in business.
Old part? Rare part? Location in the middle of nowhere? Challenge accepted.
Finding a specific part is easy. Finding an obsolete part that actually works and doesn't cost a fortune? That's the hard part. At Amikon Limited, we've spent years mastering the art of sourcing "unfindable" components. While other suppliers might tell you "it's out of stock," we're already finding a way to get it to your door.
Warranty: We don't do "as-is." You get a full year of protection on everything you buy.
Logistics: We're experts at moving gear across borders. Whether you want us to handle it via DHL/UPS or you want to use your own forwarder, the process is seamless.
Payment Options: We keep it flexible. International wire? No problem. Local RMB transfer through your shipping agent? We can do that too.
