Spare Parts Compatibility

The innovated signal modules (6ES7 2xx-xxx32-0XB0) replace the previous signal modules(6ES7 2xx-xxx30-0XB0) and are spare-parts-compatible with them. The revised modules can be used without changes in place of the previous signal modules.

Software Requirements

• To utilize the full functionality of the innovated signal modules, the respective module needs to be configured using its new order number. If necessary, the corresponding hardware support package must be used for this. The appropriate procedure is outlined in the article "How do you update the hardware catalog in STEP 7 (TIA Portal)?" 54163658
• The upload of a module configuration from the device configuration editor will not recognize the innovated signal modules. They have to be manually integrated into your project. If necessary, drag the signal modules from the hardware catalog and drop them into the device configuration.

In short, you can configure the older module and insert the new one, the module should work but only without any new features.
