Description

The SIEMENS 6ES7421-1BL01-0AA0 SIMATIC S7-400 SM 421 Digital Input Module is a high-density digital input module for the SIMATIC S7-400 programmable controller platform. It is used to acquire binary signals from field devices and transfer the corresponding ON/OFF status to the S7-400 CPU for use in control logic, sequencing, monitoring, and process automation applications.

The module provides 32 digital input channels, all designed for a nominal 24 V DC signal level. A signal between 13 V DC and 30 V DC is recognized as a logical “1”, while a voltage between -30 V DC and +5 V DC is recognized as a logical “0”. This makes the module suitable for standard industrial 24 V DC control circuits and common binary field devices.

Information

Overview Manuals Application Notes Product Applications Important Compatibility Notes

Features:

  • 32 inputs can be operated simultaneously
  • Suitable for switches and 2-/3-/4-wire proximity sensors
  • Input delay: approximately 1.2–4.8 ms
  • Suitable for replacement and maintenance of existing S7-400 systems
The SM 421 is compatible with switches and 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire proximity switches, including sensors conforming to IEC 61131 Type 1 input characteristics. The typical input current at signal “1” is approximately 7 mA, while the maximum permissible quiescent current for a signal “0” is approximately 1.3 mA. The module can process all 32 inputs simultaneously.

Each digital input is equipped with a green status LED, allowing the input state to be checked directly during commissioning, operation, and maintenance. The module has an input response delay of approximately 1.2 to 4.8 ms for both signal transitions, making it suitable for standard industrial status monitoring and control applications.

The 6ES7421-1BL01-0AA0 SIEMENS SIMATIC S7-400, SM 421 DIGITAL INPUT MODULE may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

All prices are shown in USD.
The 6ES7421-1BL01-0AA0 module features robust galvanic isolation between the field side and the internal logic, with insulation tested at 500 V DC, ensuring safe and stable operation even in environments with significant electrical noise. 6ES7421-1BL01-0AA0 supports a wide input voltage range (20.4 V DC to 28.8 V DC) and recognizes "1" signals from 13 V DC to 30 V DC, while reliably rejecting "0" signals from -30 V DC to +5 V DC.
  • Water/Wastewater: Collects pump status, float switch thresholds, and valve feedback
  • HVAC/Building: Monitors airflow switches, filter-clog indicators, and damper confirmations
  • Maritime: Deployed in vessel monitoring with DNV/Bureau Veritas type approvals
  • Conveyor/Handling: Reads proximity/photo-eye signals for track, position, and sorting
  • Packaging/Bottling: Processes high-speed sensor feedback for filling, capping, and labeling

Type 1 vs. Type 2: This module (version -1BL01) replaced the older 6ES7421-1BL00-0AA0 module. The older version used Type 2 characteristics, while the newer -1BL01 uses Type 1.
Sensor Compatibility: Because of the Type 1 characteristics, you should check that older 2-wire proximity switches (BEROs) can operate correctly with 1.5 mA or less in the "0" state.
Software Configuration: The module is supported in STEP 7 V5.1 and higher. For older projects or software, you can configure it using the older module settings without any functional restrictions.

Technical notes

The input module supports cable lengths of up to 1,000 m for shielded cables and 600 m for unshielded cables, subject to the applicable installation conditions. The module has a typical power loss of approximately 6 W and draws a maximum of 20 mA from the 5 V DC backplane bus.

FAQs

  • Can I use older proximity switches (BEROs) with this module?

    +
    Yes, connecting 2-wire BEROs is possible, but you must ensure they work correctly with a quiescent current of 1.5 mA or less in the
  • How do I configure this module in STEP 7?

    +
    This module is natively supported in STEP 7 V5.1 and higher. If you are using an older STEP 7 version or an existing project, you can simply configure it as the previous model (6ES7 421-1BL00-0AA0) without any functional restrictions.
  • What is the difference between 1BL01 and the older 1BL00 module?

    +
    The older 6ES7421-1BL00-0AA0 featured Type 2 characteristics. The newer 1BL01 variant uses pure resistive characteristics matching IEC 61131-2 Type 1. Older proximity sensors (BEROs) must be verified to operate with a quiescent current of 1.5 mA or less in the
  • Do I need to change my STEP 7 hardware configuration when replacing a 1BL00 with a 1BL01?

    +
    No. The newer 1BL01 module can be inserted into the physical rack as a direct replacement while leaving the older 1BL00 configured in your project without startup restrictions. It is natively supported in STEP 7 V5.1 and higher.
