Physical Characteristics and Installation
This module weighs approximately 0.60 kg and fits into any S5 standard rack. Its dimensions measure 250 mm x 25 mm x 210 mm, occupying one single-width slot. First, slide the 6ES5463-4UB12 into a free slot on the S5 rack. Then, connect the external 24V DC supply to the front connector. Finally, wire your sensors directly to the screw terminals.
Input Ranges and Channel Configuration
Each of the eight channels supports both voltage and current input types. You can independently configure every channel for your specific sensor. For voltage signals, the module accepts 0 to 10V, ±10V, ±5V, or ±1V. For current loops, it handles 0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA, or ±20 mA. The 12-bit resolution provides accurate signal digitization.
Conversion Speed and Power Requirements
The 6ES5463-4UB12 takes 25 ms to convert each analog channel. This speed suits most industrial monitoring applications. The module draws logic power from the 5V DC backplane bus. Additionally, it needs a separate 24V DC supply for the analog front-end circuits. This dual-power design offers excellent noise immunity.
