Features:
- The input circuits support both sinking and sourcing signal connections.
- The outputs use relay contacts rather than transistor output stages.
- The module combines input and output expansion for S7-22X CPUs.
Within 6ES7223-1PL22-0XA8, field input sensing and relay switching form different electrical sections. A dry contact switches an external circuit rather than generating an output voltage of its own.
The CN designation of 6ES7223-1PL22-0XA8 identifies the China-market product. The CN product has its own approval scope; approvals for a standard international module are not interchangeable with the markings on this unit.
For 6ES7223-1PL22-0XA8, the relay coil circuit and switched contact circuit have different electrical limits. Selecting a load therefore requires the contact ratings as well as a valid coil supply.
The Siemens 6ES7223-1PL22-0XA8 EM 223 Digital I/O Expansion Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Establish the signal reference before assigning channels
- Common terminals: The input wiring uses two common groups, each serving eight input points.
- Signal direction: Sinking and sourcing arrangements change the connection between the field device, supply and input common.
- OFF state: A two-wire sensor must keep its residual current within the permitted OFF-state conditions.
- Cable route: Permitted input cable length depends on whether the field cable is shielded or unshielded.
Keep load power separate from coil actuation
- Load commons: Four common terminals serve the relay outputs in groups of four.
- External supply: Each contact group switches the circuit connected to its common terminal.
- Group loading: The common-terminal current limit applies in addition to the individual output-contact rating.
- Protection: The module does not provide output short-circuit protection for the external load circuit.
Account for sensing delay and mechanical switching
- Input recognition: The input delay lies between a field transition and its recognition by the module.
- Output transition: A relay command must allow for contact opening or closing time.
- Repeated commands: The permitted switching frequency is distinct from the time needed for a single transition.
- Controller execution: Module delays are not a replacement for the timing of the CPU control program.
Distinguish field isolation from supply relationships
- Input barrier: The input field circuits are isolated from the logic circuit.
- Relay barrier: The relay contacts are isolated from the relay coil circuit.
- Coil reference: The coil supply is not isolated from the module logic.
- Circuit selection: Isolation between coil and contact does not remove the contact voltage and load-current limits.
