The Siemens 6ES7288-1ST60-0AA2 is a SIMATIC S7-200 SMART CPU ST60 with 36 digital inputs and 24 digital transistor outputs on board. It is the DC/DC/DC version: 24 V DC supply, 24 V DC inputs and 24 V DC transistor outputs, which switch far faster than relays and do not wear out, which is what you want for high cycle rates, stepper and servo pulse trains and PWM control.
This is the V3.0 hardware, recognisable by its two Ethernet ports with an integrated switch, so the CPU can be daisy-chained to a panel and on to the next station without an external switch. It carries 80 KB of combined program and data memory, a built-in web server and extended motion functions including CAM profiles and electronic gearing.
The S7-200 SMART is the controller Siemens built for small and medium machines: packaging lines, bottling and filling machines, textile and plastics machinery, water treatment skids, elevators and simple process skids. It is programmed with the free STEP 7-Micro/WIN SMART software over a standard Ethernet cable, and it pairs with the SIMATIC SMART LINE touch panels for a complete low-cost control package. Because the platform is installed in very large numbers across the Middle East, a spare CPU is the part a maintenance team needs most often when a controller fails.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as CPU ST60 with an order number ending -0AA0?
No. 6ES7288-1ST60-0AA2 is the V3.0 hardware. Order numbers ending -0AA0 are the earlier first-generation units. Programs transfer upward, but always quote the exact order number printed on the module you are replacing so we ship the matching version.
Can I connect an HMI panel to this CPU?
Yes. The Ethernet port connects directly to a SIMATIC SMART LINE panel, and the RS485 port can also carry a serial HMI or Modbus RTU. The V3.0 hardware has two Ethernet ports, so the panel and the programming PC can both be connected without a switch.
How many expansion modules can I add?
Up to six EM expansion modules on the right-hand side, plus one SB signal board that clips into the front of the CPU.
What software do I need to program it?
STEP 7-Micro/WIN SMART, which Siemens provides free of charge. You connect over a standard Ethernet patch cable; no special programming adapter is needed.
Do you supply this part to my country?
Yes. RendatSP ships genuine Siemens parts worldwide and has local agents in eleven countries across the Middle East and North Africa. Send the order number and quantity and we will quote delivered price and lead time.
