Detailed Feature Overview
This controller includes a 16-bit processor for fast logic execution. It processes 1K of bit logic in just 5 milliseconds. You can store your program in either RAM or EPROM memory.
A 2200 µF capacitor provides short-term energy buffering. With an optional lithium battery, data retention extends to 50 days. Without a battery, the capacitor holds memory for about 10 minutes.
You will find a backplane bus connector at the rear. This bus links directly to S5 I/O modules like digital or analog cards. The module accepts either AC or DC power via jumper selection.
Installation and Programming
Siemens 6ES5105-3RA11 occupies the first slot in an S5 rack. Use STEP 5 software to write and upload control programs. Always insert a memory submodule before powering up the unit.
