Features:
- Eight hardware channels execute counting and measurement functions.
- Channel inputs accept the documented 24 V or NAMUR signal path.
- Assigned digital outputs can respond to configured count or dosing conditions.
Pulse processing occurs in the function module rather than inside the normal CPU scan.
Gate inputs determine when each configured measurement is enabled.
The S7-300 backplane carries parameters, results and diagnostic information to the controller.
The Siemens 6ES7350-2AH01-0AE0 SIMATIC S7-300 FM 350-2 Counter Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Matching every counter channel to its pulse source
- 24 V input: The channel accepts the documented 24 V encoder or pulse signal.
- NAMUR input: The alternate sensor path uses its dedicated low-voltage supply.
- Gate signal: A separate input controls when the measurement is active.
- Shielding: Cable shields and reference conductors follow the assigned front-connector pins.
Turning pulse sequences into the required process value
- Counting: The module accumulates events in the selected direction and range.
- Frequency: Pulse rate is converted into a frequency result.
- Speed and period: Configured scaling relates pulse timing to motion or elapsed time.
- Dosing: Comparison values coordinate counting with an assigned output response.
Linking local counter conditions to field outputs
- Eight outputs: One set of digital outputs is available to the configured channels.
- Comparison action: Threshold events can change an output without a separate PLC scan.
- Load path: Each output switches its documented 24 V field load.
- CPU supervision: The controller reads status and can adjust the configured parameters.
Preserving the wiring boundary at the 40-pole connector
- Channel pins: Pulse, NAMUR and gate inputs occupy defined connector positions.
- Supply references: Sensor and output circuits use the assigned voltage and common terminals.
- Cable identification: Every conductor should retain its channel and function label.
- Commissioning test: Known pulses and gate states confirm scaling before process use.
