Features:
- The EM PCI-104 adds positions for as many as three PCI-104 cards.
- PC/104 Plus cards need an additional adapter for this expansion module.
- The module is part of the S7-mEC modular Embedded Controller system.
The expansion housing accommodates card-based functions selected for the controller configuration; a bare EM PCI-104 should not be described as having the ports of whatever cards might later be installed.
The exact-order-number catalog table distinguishes this EM PCI-104 from the separate EM PC module, which has its own USB, Ethernet, and serial interfaces.
Card approvals and power wiring remain configuration-dependent, especially when the assembly is assessed for a hazardous location or UL compliance.
The Siemens 6ES7677-1DD60-1AA0 S7-mEC PCI-104 Expansion Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Expansion Card Organization
- Card positions: The expansion module accommodates up to three PCI-104 cards.
- Adapter case: PC/104 Plus cards require the separate adapter mentioned in the order description.
- Port ownership: Additional communication interfaces depend on the cards actually fitted.
- Module distinction: USB and serial ports shown for EM PC do not belong to bare EM PCI-104.
Embedded Controller Releases
- Controller family: EM PCI-104 operates as an expansion module of the S7-mEC system.
- EC31 group: EC31, EC31-RTX, and EC31-HMI/RTX support starts with release 01/2009.
- Safety variant: EC31-RTX F support starts with release 07/2009.
- Earlier release: The product information directs earlier controllers to a software-update assessment rather than stating blanket support.
Electrical and Approval Conditions
- Expansion bus: The exact-model catalog specifies the module's input current from this bus.
- Integrated supply: The module includes its own card-supply arrangement.
- UL rule: Plug-in cards must take their supply through the expansion module, not through direct independent feeds.
- Hazardous areas: Each installed card or card combination must carry the necessary approval.
Hardware Detection on Replacement
- New detection: Cards in this module are detected as new hardware when an older EM PCI-104 is replaced.
- Network settings: Prior IP and PROFIBUS address assignments are discarded in that replacement case.
- Power jumpers: The product information requires checking card-supply jumper settings during card transfer.
- Reconfiguration: The card interfaces and project configuration must be restored as appropriate to the controller setup.
