Siemens 6ES5470-4UB13 Analog Output Module

This analog output module converts digital values into continuous voltage or current signals. It drives actuators, valves, or recorders in SIMATIC S5 systems. You can configure each channel independently for different output ranges.

Detailed Feature Overview

This module provides four analog output channels with software-selectable ranges. Each channel supports voltage or current modes without hardware jumpers. The 12-bit resolution delivers smooth and accurate signal changes.

A 1000 µF capacitor filters each output for noise-free operation. Consequently, your actuators receive stable signals without ripple. The settling time reaches just 0.5 ms for voltage outputs.

You will find short-circuit protection on every output channel. This protection prevents damage from accidental wiring errors. The four green LEDs illuminate when the corresponding output is active.

Installation and Compatibility

Siemens 6ES5470-4UB13 fits any S5 rack slot except the CPU position. Use the 48-pin front connector 6ES5497-4UB31 for field wiring. Connect shielded cables to maintain signal integrity over long distances.
