Siemens 6ES7315-2EH14-0AB0 SIMATIC S7-300 CPU 315-2 PN/DP
A CPU 315-2 PN/DP with 384 KB work memory, dual industrial-network interfaces and S7-300 modular expansion.
Product Overview
6ES7315-2EH14-0AB0 is a SIMATIC S7-300 CPU 315-2 PN/DP for modular automation stations. It provides 384 KB of work memory and combines an MPI/PROFIBUS DP interface with a PROFINET Ethernet interface incorporating a two-port switch.
The CPU requires a SIMATIC Micro Memory Card and supports central and distributed I/O arrangements used in established S7-300 systems.
Performance
- Executes bit operations in 0.05 µs, word operations in 0.09 µs and floating-point operations in 0.45 µs.
- Provides a 2,048-byte input and 2,048-byte output address space for the configured automation task.
- Stores 500 diagnostic-buffer entries for event and fault analysis.
- Supports up to four racks, including three expansion racks, in the documented S7-300 arrangement.
- Operates in ambient temperatures from 0 to 60 °C when installed within the specified conditions.

System Integration
- Retain the MPI/PROFIBUS station parameters and PROFINET device configuration from the approved STEP 7 project.
- Use the required Micro Memory Card and verify that its program and firmware state match the replacement CPU.
- Record the rack order, expansion interfaces and distributed-I/O topology before removing the installed processor.
- Recreate the two-port PROFINET cabling without changing device names or network assignments unless the project is revised.
- Validate startup behavior, diagnostics and communications after the hardware configuration has been downloaded.
Applications
- Service replacement in established S7-300 machines and process skids.
- Controllers bridging PROFIBUS DP field devices and PROFINET plant networks.
- Multi-rack S7-300 installations requiring a 384 KB central CPU.
- Automation projects maintained with the classic STEP 7 engineering environment.
FAQ
What is the complete order number for CPU 315-2EH14?
The complete Siemens article number is 6ES7315-2EH14-0AB0.
Does the CPU include load memory without a card?
A SIMATIC Micro Memory Card is required for operation.
Which two networks are built in?
The CPU provides MPI/PROFIBUS DP and PROFINET Ethernet with a two-port switch.
Is it an active new-design product?
No. Siemens records product cancellation from 2025-10-01 and places the article in the spare-part phase.
What should accompany a replacement request?
Include the full order number, firmware, memory-card status, rack configuration and STEP 7 project details.
Can a different S7-300 CPU be substituted solely by memory size?
No. Interface roles, firmware, program resources, I/O addressing and rack compatibility must also be compared.
