Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
The table below lists direct and functional equivalents for the 6ES7288-1SR40-0AA0 to support cross-referencing and alternative sourcing:
- Siemens 6ES7288-1ST40-0AA0 – Same I/O count (24 DI / 16 DO), transistor output variant; suitable when high-speed pulse output is required
- Siemens 6ES7288-1SR30-0AA0 – Smaller SR30 CPU (18 DI / 12 DO relay); use when I/O count can be reduced
- Siemens 6ES7288-1SR60-0AA0 – Larger SR60 CPU (36 DI / 24 DO relay); use when additional I/O is needed without expansion modules
- Siemens 6ES7212-1BE40-0XB0 – S7-1200 CPU 1212C; next-generation platform with TIA Portal programming, suitable for new designs requiring scalability
- Siemens 6ES7214-1BG40-0XB0 – S7-1200 CPU 1214C; direct functional upgrade path with expanded memory and PROFINET
Note: Always verify I/O type (relay vs. transistor), power supply voltage, and firmware compatibility before substituting modules in existing systems.
Why Choose the Original Model
- Proven reliability in millions of installed S7-200 SMART applications worldwide
- Native STEP 7-Micro/WIN SMART programming environment — no migration required

- Expansion Modules: 6ES7288-2 series (digital), 6ES7288-3 series (analog), 6ES7288-5 series (communication)
- Signal Board: 6ES7288-5BA01-0AA0 (AQ), 6ES7288-5CD01-0AA0 (AI/AQ)
- Communication: Modbus RTU/TCP, USS protocol, S7 communication via Ethernet
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to select the correct CPU for your application:
- I/O Count: SR40 provides 24 DI + 16 DO. If you need fewer I/O points, consider SR20 or SR30. For more, consider SR60 or add expansion modules.
- Output Type: Choose Relay (SR) for mixed-voltage or inductive loads; choose Transistor (ST) for high-speed pulse output or servo/stepper control.
- Power Supply: SR40 uses AC supply (85–264 V). For DC-powered panels, select the ST40 (DC/DC/Transistor) variant.
- Future Scalability: If the project may migrate to TIA Portal or require advanced motion/safety, consider S7-1200 (CPU 1214C) as the upgrade path.
- Environment: Confirm operating temperature range and enclosure IP rating match site conditions.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace a 6ES7288-1SR40-0AA0 with a 6ES7288-1ST40-0AA0?
A: Yes, the ST40 is pin-compatible and has the same I/O count, but uses transistor outputs (DC 24 V, 0.75 A). Verify your load voltage and type before substituting.
Q: Is the 6ES7288-1SR40-0AA0 compatible with S7-200 (classic) programs?
A: Not directly. S7-200 SMART uses STEP 7-Micro/WIN SMART, which requires program migration from the classic STEP 7-Micro/WIN environment. Most instruction sets are compatible but must be re-compiled.
Q: What is the upgrade path from S7-200 SMART to S7-1200?
A: Siemens provides a migration guide via TIA Portal. The CPU 1214C (6ES7214-1BG40-0XB0) is the recommended functional equivalent with expanded capabilities.
Q: Can I use third-party expansion modules with this CPU?
A: No. The S7-200 SMART expansion bus is proprietary. Only Siemens 6ES7288-2/3/5 series modules are supported.
Q: What is the difference between SR and ST variants?
A: SR = Standard Relay output (AC/DC loads, galvanic isolation). ST = Standard Transistor output (DC loads only, high-speed pulse capable).
