A 24 V DC receiver interface for connecting S7-300 expansion racks to an IM 360 central rack.

PM400: Announcement of product phase-out

Product Overview

Siemens 6ES7361-3CA01-0AA0 is the IM 361 receiver interface installed in an S7-300 expansion rack. It connects the expansion rack to the central rack through an IM 360 and carries the S7-300 backplane and C-bus connection.

The module supports multi-rack S7-300 layouts. Rack numbering, slot position, interface cable length, power supply and the accumulated backplane-bus load must be verified before replacement.
