There are other criteria beside I/O count (like response time/communication load etc.) that should be taken in to account for CPU selection. Perhaps the following entries will help: S7-300 CPU 31xC and CPU 31x, Technical Specifications http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/12996906 Differing information on the requirement of offline/ online memory http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/13962087 regards

The main thing is algorithm which you will use to handle these I/O. You may have very complex algorithm with lots of FB and DB used and handle not very much I/O andd you would use much of working memory. In other hand you may have lots of I/O, but handle in the way like: A I0.0 =Q0.0 In that case you will use not very much working memory. So there is no direct connection between number of I/O and working memory used. Regards,
	Best regards, Darius

I suggest you do yourself your standard . Do somoe configurations, and looks how many bytes them takes. There is a general calculator in the Siemens online catalog: https://mall.automation.siemens.com/DE/guest/index.asp?aktPrim=0&lang=en
