Field-level switching information is transferred to the S7-300 control program.
The SM 321 receives switching information from field devices and makes the resulting input states available to the controller. Siemens specifies its use with switches and proximity-switch devices.
Individual channel indicators provide a local visual reference during commissioning and maintenance. The module is configured as part of the controller's hardware setup.
Core identification and input characteristics are shown first. Additional electrical, installation and mechanical data can be expanded below.
Core module data
Points to review when commissioning or troubleshooting the input assembly.
The module is configured in the STEP 7 hardware project. Review the configured slot, assigned input addresses and the relationship between the project configuration and the installed hardware.
During troubleshooting, compare the channel indication with the actual field signal and check the wiring and connector condition before concluding that the module itself has failed.
Installed in a SIMATIC S7-300 PLC station, the module collects discrete field status signals used by machine sequences, equipment permissives and process-control logic.
A sourcing request may arise when input points stop changing state as expected, a group of field signals becomes unavailable, or an input channel cannot be restored during troubleshooting.
When a required field status is missing, the PLC may be unable to complete a sequence, satisfy an interlock or initiate the next process step. The resulting interruption can affect automatic operation and extend equipment recovery time.
Compare the field-device state, wiring condition, channel indication and controller project before replacing the module.
For replacement planning, compare the exact order number, field wiring, connector arrangement, electrical characteristics and existing STEP 7 configuration. A module with a similar channel count or voltage rating should not automatically be treated as a direct substitute.

Yes. Siemens specifies 2-wire sensor connection and a maximum permissible quiescent current of 1.5 mA for the connected sensor.
The channels are isolated in groups of 16, and the input circuits are isolated from the backplane bus by optocouplers.
No. The specified module has no diagnostic functions, diagnostic alarms or hardware interrupts. Individual channel status is indicated by green LEDs.
Check the 40-pin front connector and verify that the existing wiring arrangement is suitable for the replacement installation.
Check the field signal, 24 V DC supply, sensor wiring, connector, channel indicator and STEP 7 input address assignment. Follow the applicable Siemens installation instructions.
