Frequently Asked Questions
Is 6ES7318-3EL01-0AB0 discontinued? What is its availability?
The SIMATIC S7-300 system family was generally available until 2023. Following the phase-out declaration, products are available as spare parts for approximately ten more years. This CPU is expected to remain available through at least 2035+ as a spare part.
What is the difference between 6ES7318-3EL00-0AB0 and 6ES7318-3EL01-0AB0?
The main difference is the work memory size: the 3EL00 version has 1.5 MB, while the 3EL01 version has 2 MB. The 3EL01 also includes minor firmware improvements and better compatibility with newer MMC cards.
What is the long-term migration path to S7-1500?
The recommended S7-1500 replacement is 6ES7518-4AP00-0AB0 (CPU 1518-4 PN/DP). This is not a plug-and-play replacement; full hardware and software re-engineering is required, including program porting to TIA Portal and new hardware installation.
Which programming software is supported?
Requires STEP 7 V5.5 or higher. With appropriate HSP files, earlier versions down to V5.4 SP4 may work. The CPU cannot be operated with versions below V5.4 SP4.
What is the maximum number of I/O points this CPU can handle?
The CPU 318-2 DP supports up to 8192 digital inputs and 8192 digital outputs, making it the highest-capacity CPU in the S7-300 family.
Does this CPU support PROFINET?
No, the 6ES7318-3EL01-0AB0 features only a PROFIBUS DP interface and MPI. For PROFINET connectivity, a CP 343-1 communication processor is required.
