NEW 6ES7135-6HB00-0CA1

Model and Series Overview: This module, identified by the part number 6ES7135-6HB00-0CA1, is part of the SIMATIC ET 200SP distributed I/O system, specifically categorized as an analog output module (AO 2xU/I high feature). It is engineered to convert digital control signals from a central controller into accurate analog voltage or current outputs, enabling versatile proportional control of field devices.

Core Functionality: Its primary purpose is to translate digital commands from PLCs (such as SIMATIC S7-1200 or S7-1500) into continuous analog signals (either voltage or current). These signals are used to control a wide range of industrial actuators, including control valves, variable speed drives, positioners, and heating elements, supporting precise process regulation in industries like manufacturing, chemical processing, and energy.

Output Specifications: Equipped with 2 analog output channels, each configurable for both voltage and current outputs to suit diverse application needs:

Electrical Characteristics: The module operates on a 24V DC power supply (19.2-28.8V DC) with reverse polarity protection to prevent damage from incorrect wiring. It draws a maximum current of 40mA from the 24V supply and 30mA from the 5V backplane bus. Galvanic isolation (500V AC for 1 minute) between field circuits and the backplane bus enhances noise immunity, critical for stable operation in electrically noisy industrial settings.

Mechanical and Protection Features: Designed for seamless integration with the ET 200SP modular system, it requires a compatible base unit for installation. With a compact width of 15mm, it optimizes space utilization in control cabinets. The module features an IP20 protection rating for its electronics, with the front connector area achieving IP40 protection when mated. LED indicators provide clear status feedback for power, module errors, and individual channel activity, simplifying on-site diagnostics and maintenance.

Configuration and Integration: Fully configurable via Siemens’ TIA Portal software, it integrates smoothly with SIMATIC controllers through PROFINET or PROFIBUS communication protocols. It supports hot swapping (when used with appropriate base units), allowing module replacement without powering down the system, thus minimizing operational downtime. The module also supports firmware updates and advanced diagnostic functions, enhancing long-term maintainability.

Environmental and Compliance Standards: It operates reliably in a temperature range of -25°C to 60°C (storage: -40°C to 70°C) and is built to withstand industrial vibration and shock. Compliance with international standards such as IEC 61131-2 and RoHS directives ensures it meets global safety, performance, and environmental requirements.
