Siemens 6ES5324-3UR11 IM 324R Interface Module

Product Overview

The Siemens 6ES5324-3UR11 is an IM 324R interface module for the SIMATIC S5-115H and S5-155H control systems. It provides the connection between two central controllers, working with an IM 304 module on the other controller to carry their data communications. Siemens describes the IM 324R as establishing a symmetrical 16-bit address/data link to common dual-port memory. This makes the module a defined part of the controller-to-controller communication path in these S5 systems. 

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Model Benefits

- Central-controller coupling: Connects the two controllers in documented S5-115H and S5-155H configurations.
- 16-bit parallel link: Provides a symmetrical address/data path to common dual-port memory.
- Defined module pairing: Operates with an IM 304 interface across a Siemens 721 connecting cable.
- Extended connection distance: The documented IM 304/IM 324R configuration supports a cable length of up to 100 m.
