Please note that the 6ES7417-4XT05-0AB0 is a replacement part. Siemens has designated this model as a spare for existing S7-400 installations. The product is no longer available for new system designs. For new projects, please consult the latest S7-400 product catalog for current alternatives.
Technical Specifications
Memory and Processing Performance
The 6ES7417-4XT05-0AB0 provides extraordinary memory capacity for the largest automation programs. Its 30 MB work memory is non-expandable but sufficient for enterprise-wide control logic. The load memory accepts FEPROM and RAM expansion cards up to 64 Mbyte. Processing times are among the fastest in the industry. For instance, bit, word, and fixed-point arithmetic all execute in just 18 ns. Moreover, floating-point arithmetic completes in only 54 ns. This CPU supports up to 16,000 DBs, 8,000 FBs, and 8,000 FCs, with each block sized up to 64 KB.
Counters, Timers, and Data Areas
The Siemens CPU 417-4 includes 2,048 S7 counters and 2,048 S7 timers with adjustable retentivity. It also supports unlimited IEC counters and timers via SFBs. The maximum retentive data area spans the total working and load memory when battery-backed. The flag area is 16 KB, with retentivity preset for MB 0 to MB 15.
I/O Addressing and Communication Interfaces
This controller supports an I/O address area of 16 KB for inputs and 16 KB for outputs. Its process image is adjustable to 16 KB for each, with a default of 1,024 bytes. For digital channels, it handles up to 131,072 inputs and outputs centrally. For analog channels, it manages 8,192 inputs and outputs centrally.
The Siemens 6ES7417-4XT05-0AB0 includes four interfaces. The first is a combined MPI/PROFIBUS DP port, the second is a PROFIBUS DP interface, and the third and fourth are pluggable IF modules. The MPI/DP port operates at up to 12 Mbit/s. This CPU supports PG/OP communication, S7 routing, global data, and full S7 communication as both client and server. It also supports isochronous mode and SYNC/FREEZE functions.
Mechanical and Environmental Parameters
Dimensions and Weight
The 6ES7417-4XT05-0AB0 measures 50 mm in width, 290 mm in height, and 219 mm in depth. It weighs approximately 0.9 kg. This module requires two slots in the S7-400 rack.
Power Consumption and Configuration
This module draws a typical current of 1.5 A from the 5 V DC backplane bus, with a maximum of 1.8 A. It also draws up to 600 mA from the 24 V DC backplane bus, with 150 mA per DP interface. Typical power loss is 7.5 W, with a maximum of 8 W. The Siemens CPU 417-4 supports up to 21 expansion units and multicomputing mode with up to 4 CPUs. It accommodates up to 6 interface modules and 63 connectable OPs.
Installation and Configuration Guide
Start by inserting the CPU into two free slots on the S7-400 rack. For multicomputing setups, verify compatibility with other CPUs. Install the backup battery to enable full data retention. Use the MPI/DP interface for programming and HMI communication. The second PROFIBUS DP interface and the two IF module slots connect to distributed I/O devices. Configure the system using STEP 7 V5.3 SP2 or higher.
