The Siemens SIMATIC S7-300 CPU 317T-2 DP (6ES7317-6TK13-0AB0) is a technology-oriented programmable logic controller designed for industrial automation, motion control, and advanced machine-control applications. It combines standard PLC processing with integrated technology functions for applications requiring coordinated control of automation and drive systems.

Featuring 1 MB of integrated work memory, an MPI/PROFIBUS DP interface, and a second PROFIBUS DP interface dedicated to drive communication, this controller supports complex automation and motion-related tasks. Integrated technology I/O provides additional functionality for suitable technology applications.

The CPU is engineered using STEP 7 V5.4 SP5 or later together with the S7-Technology V4.2 optional package. A compatible Siemens Micro Memory Card with a minimum capacity of 8 MB is required.
