Features:
- Eight hardware counters process encoder events outside the cyclic input image.
- Gate inputs and switching outputs connect counter conditions to the field process.
- Counting, frequency, speed, period, and proportioning modes use one module platform.
Siemens 6ES7350-2AH00-0AE0 acquires eight counter channels and transfers results to the S7-300 CPU.
Supported encoders on 6ES7350-2AH00-0AE0 use the assigned 24 V or NAMUR input path.
Parameterized interrupts from 6ES7350-2AH00-0AE0 report configured events and diagnostic conditions.

Counter Input Processing
- Channels: Eight hardware counters retain events independently of the normal CPU scan.
- Signal level: The selected 24 V or NAMUR input mode must match the connected encoder.
- Count range: Each channel uses a 32-bit or signed 31-bit value according to its configuration.
- Frequency: The encoder type and signal form determine the usable limit up to the documented 20 kHz maximum.
Process Control Connections
- Gate inputs: One digital input per counter supplies the configured gate start or stop action.
- Switching outputs: Eight protected outputs can react to assigned counter or measurement conditions.
- Group load: Mounting orientation and ambient temperature set the permitted total output current.
- Inductive loads: The much lower inductive switching limit must be observed for coils and contactors.
Counting and Measurement Functions
- Counting: Pulse accumulation uses the configured direction and gate behavior.
- Frequency: Measured pulse rate is calculated over the assigned measurement interval.
- Speed and period: Encoder timing supports speed and period-duration results.
- Proportioning: The configured function relates counted events to the assigned output behavior.
Interrupts and Fault Isolation
- Group fault: The red SF indicator directs troubleshooting to readable module diagnostics.
- Diagnostic interrupt: A parameterized diagnostic alarm reports configured fault conditions to the CPU.
- Hardware interrupt: Counter events can trigger a parameterized hardware interrupt.
- Commissioning: Test the encoder, gate, count direction, output reaction, and interrupt handling as one channel chain.
