- Description
The Siemens 6ES7421-1FH20-0AA0 is a SIMATIC S7-400 digital input module SM 421 with 16 isolated inputs rated 120/230 V AC/DC, IEC 61131 Type 2 characteristic. It draws 80 mA from the backplane bus, dissipates 12 W typical, and isolates the 16 channels from the backplane bus in groups of 4.

Selection Notes
Half the channel count of the 32 DI SM 421 modules trades density for a wider rated voltage window (120/230 V AC/DC) and finer isolation grouping (4 channels per group versus 8 or 32 on the other SM 421 variants), which suits mixed 120 V/230 V field wiring on the same module. The Type 2 IEC 61131 characteristic and 264 V max signal-1 rating fit high-voltage discrete field devices directly; for pure 24 V DC or 120 V DC/AC wiring at higher channel density, the 32 DI SM 421 variants in the same family are the better fit.
