Integrated Architecture for Small Systems

The 6ES5095-8MD01 combines all essential control components in one module. This design reduces panel space requirements and simplifies system installation. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for separate power supply and backplane modules.

Built-In I/O for Direct Field Connection

The onboard digital inputs accept signals from pushbuttons, limit switches, and proximity sensors. The digital outputs directly drive relays, contactors, and small indicator lamps. Each I/O point includes status LEDs for immediate visual diagnostics.

Programming and Application Use

Users program the compact unit via the built-in serial port using STEP 5 software. The integrated memory stores the application program and retains it during power outages. Typical applications include small conveyors, packaging machines, and standalone control stations.
