Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the original 3AT350.6 is unavailable, end-of-life, or cost-prohibitive, the following alternatives may be considered. Always verify electrical, mechanical, and firmware compatibility before substitution.
- B&R 3AT356.6 — Upgraded variant with extended sensor support; direct form-factor replacement in most 2000/3000 series racks
- B&R X20AT2222 — X20 system RTD module; requires X20 backplane adapter but offers modern firmware support
- B&R X20AT4222 — 4-channel X20 RTD input; suitable for reduced-channel applications
- Siemens 6ES7331-7PF01-0AB0 — S7-300 RTD input module; cross-platform replacement requiring I/O remapping and PLC program adaptation
- Beckhoff EL3204 — EtherCAT RTD terminal; suitable for system migrations to TwinCAT/EtherCAT architecture
- Phoenix Contact MINI MCR-SL-PT100-UI — Signal conditioner approach; converts RTD to standard analog signal for use with any analog input module
Note: Cross-brand replacements require engineering review. Contact Konmask technical support for compatibility assessment.

Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine whether the 3AT350.6 or an alternative is the right choice for your application:
- Existing B&R 2000/3000 system with available slot → Order 3AT350.6 (original or refurbished)
- System upgrade to B&R X20 platform → Select X20AT2222 or X20AT4222 with appropriate adapter
- Reduced channel count needed (≤4 channels) → Consider X20AT4222 or equivalent 4-channel module
- Cross-platform migration (Siemens S7) → Siemens 6ES7331-7PF01-0AB0 with full I/O remapping
- EtherCAT-based new build → Beckhoff EL3204 recommended
- Retrofit without PLC change → Phoenix Contact signal conditioner to standard 4–20 mA output
- Budget-sensitive MRO replacement → Verified refurbished 3AT350.6 from Konmask with test report

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I use the 3AT350.6 in a B&R X20 rack?
A: No. The 3AT350.6 uses the legacy B&R local bus and is not directly compatible with X20 backplanes. An adapter module or system migration is required.
Q: Is the 3AT350.6 still in production?
A: This model is considered legacy/end-of-life by B&R. Availability depends on surplus and refurbished stock. Konmask maintains inventory — contact us for current stock status.
Q: What is the difference between 3AT350.6 and 3AT356.6?
A: The 3AT356.6 is an upgraded variant with broader sensor type support and improved diagnostics. It is generally a drop-in replacement for the 3AT350.6 in compatible racks.
Q: Can I use a Siemens RTD module as a direct replacement?
A: Not directly. Cross-brand substitution requires I/O address remapping, PLC program modification, and physical wiring changes. Engineering review is mandatory.
Q: Do you provide test reports for refurbished units?
A: Yes. Test reports documenting channel-level verification are available upon request for all refurbished units.
Q: What RTD wiring configurations are supported?
A: The 3AT350.6 supports 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire RTD connections. 3-wire and 4-wire configurations provide better lead resistance compensation and are recommended for precision applications.
