Product Description
The SIMATIC S7-400 SM 421 digital input module (MPN 6ES7421-1FH00-0AA0) provides 16 optically isolated channels for reliable acquisition of binary signals in industrial control systems. Designed for the S7-400 platform, it supports robust signal integrity and galvanic separation between inputs and the backplane to minimize interference and fault propagation. Typical applications include interfacing sensors, switches, and field contacts in distributed PLC architectures where high availability and deterministic behavior are required. The module integrates with S7-400 racks and uses a 40‑pin front connector for fast installation and service. Depending on source data, versions are documented with either 120/230 V AC inputs or 24 V DC inputs; verify voltage before deployment. Mechanical form factor suits standard S7-400 slots with IP20 protection for cabinet-mounted environments. Package contents generally include the module; front connector and accessories may be ordered separately.
