NEW 6ES7135-6HD00-0BA1

Model and Series Affiliation: This module, identified by the part number 6ES7135-6HD00-0BA1, is part of the SIMATIC ET 200SP distributed I/O system, specifically classified as an analog output module (AO 2xI standard). It is designed to convert digital control signals from a central controller into accurate analog current outputs, enabling proportional control of field devices.

Core Functionality: Its primary role is to translate digital commands from a PLC (such as SIMATIC S7-1200 or S7-1500) into continuous analog current signals. These signals are used to control industrial actuators like control valves, variable frequency drives, positioners, or proportional solenoids, facilitating precise regulation of processes in sectors such as manufacturing, water treatment, and process automation.

Output Specifications: The module features 2 analog output channels, each configurable for current outputs with the following ranges:

Electrical Characteristics: It operates on a 24V DC power supply (with a permissible range of 19.2-28.8V DC) and includes reverse polarity protection to prevent damage from incorrect wiring. The module consumes a maximum of 40mA from the 24V supply and 30mA from the 5V backplane bus. Galvanic isolation (500V AC for 1 minute) between the field circuits and the backplane bus enhances system safety and immunity to electrical noise in industrial environments.

Mechanical and Protection Features: Designed for seamless integration with the ET 200SP system, it requires a compatible base unit for installation. The module has a compact width of 15mm, making it space-efficient for control cabinet layouts. It offers an IP20 protection rating for the electronics, with the front connector area achieving IP40 protection when properly mated. LED indicators provide clear status feedback for power, module errors, and channel activity, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance.

Configuration and Integration: Fully compatible with Siemens’ TIA Portal software for configuration and parameterization, it integrates smoothly with SIMATIC controllers through industrial communication protocols like PROFINET. It supports hot swapping (when used with suitable base units), allowing for module replacement without shutting down the entire system, thus minimizing downtime. Additionally, it supports firmware updates and diagnostic functions to ensure optimal performance over time.

Environmental and Compliance Standards: The module operates in a temperature range of -25°C to 60°C (storage temperature: -40°C to 70°C) and is designed to withstand industrial levels of vibration and shock. It complies with international standards including IEC 61131-2 and RoHS, ensuring compatibility with global industrial requirements and environmental regulations.
