Siemens 6ES7361-3CA01-0AA0 Interface Module

Siemens Module 6ES7361-3CA01-0AA0

The Siemens Module  6ES7361-3CA01-0AA0 is an IM 361 interface module designed for the SIMATIC S7-300 programmable logic controller (PLC) system. This expansion rack interface module provides a reliable connection from the central rack (via the IM360) to expansion racks (racks 1 to 3), enabling system scalability for larger automation applications .


Key Features

  • System Expansion – Interfaces racks 1 to 3 of the S7-300 automation system, connecting to the central rack via the IM360 module 

  • 24 V DC Power Supply – Operates with a nominal 24 V DC supply voltage 

  • C-Bus Communication – Features an integrated K-bus for efficient data transfer between racks 

  • Backplane Power Output – Supplies up to 0.8 A current to the S7-300 backplane bus for powering I/O modules in expansion racks 

  • Long-Distance Connectivity – Supports connecting cables up to 10 meters between IM 360 and IM 361, or between IM 361 modules 

  • Up to 3 Interfaces per CPU – Flexible hardware configuration supporting multiple expansion racks
