Siemens 6ES7350-1AH03-0AE0 – SIMATIC S7-300 FM 350-1 Counter Module

The Siemens 6ES7350-1AH03-0AE0 is a precision counter module from the SIMATIC S7-300 family, designed to deliver high-speed counting and motion control capabilities to automation systems. Known as the FM 350-1, this module features a single input channel capable of handling frequencies up to 500 kHz. It is ideal for applications requiring fast, accurate signal processing such as position tracking, speed monitoring, or event counting. It supports incremental encoders with voltage ranges from 5V to 24V, enabling flexible integration with various industrial sensors. Engineered for isochronous operation, the FM 350-1 ensures real-time data acquisition and synchronization with other control tasks, optimizing performance in time-critical applications.

High-Speed Precision for Demanding Applications

The FM 350-1 counter module excels in environments where high-resolution and high-frequency signal capture is critical. Whether you're working with rotary encoders for position feedback or managing input from flowmeters, proximity sensors, or pulse generators, this module is built to handle rapid signal transitions without missing counts. Its 500 kHz counting capacity accommodates fast processes, ensuring your control system reacts promptly and precisely to real-world inputs. Isochronous mode enables synchronized operation with the S7-300 CPU cycle, minimizing delays and improving overall system coordination for complex automation tasks like motion control, sorting, and packaging.

Flexible Encoder Compatibility and Seamless Integration

Designed with industrial versatility, the FM 350-1 supports incremental encoders operating at common voltage levels (5V, 12V, and 24V), allowing integration into a wide range of equipment without requiring signal converters. It communicates directly with the S7-300 PLC via the backplane bus, requiring no separate communication wiring and ensuring fast, reliable data transfer. Configuration and programming are easily managed through Siemens' TIA Portal or STEP 7 software, where you can define counting modes, presets, and edge detection. This user-friendly setup reduces engineering time while offering maximum control over counting functions.
