Siemens 6ES5498-1AA61 Range Module

This measuring range module sets the input scale for SIMATIC S5 analog cards. The Siemens 6ES5498-1AA61 plugs directly into specific analog input modules. You can select from multiple current and voltage ranges easily. Its plug‑and‑play design eliminates complex software configuration.

Physical Dimensions and Hardware Layout

The Siemens 6ES5498-1AA61 measures 4.2 cm in total length. Its width reaches 2.8 cm with a height of 1.6 cm. This measuring range module weighs approximately 0.01 kg. A small plastic housing contains the range‑setting resistor network. Eight gold‑plated pins connect the module to the analog card. A recessed area accepts a range identification label.

Signal Ranges and Selection Options

This module supports four standard analog input ranges. The Siemens 6ES5498-1AA61 handles 0 to 10V, 0 to 20 mA, and 4 to 20 mA signals. Each module configures one analog input channel only. Therefore, you need one module per analog channel.

Range Identification and Marking

Each Siemens 6ES5498-1AA61 includes a blank identification label. You can write the selected range on this label. The label sits recessed to prevent accidental smudging. Different resistor networks create different physical keying patterns. Therefore, you cannot insert a module with the wrong range.

Installation and Channel Assignment

Insert the measuring range module into the analog card’s slot. The Siemens 6ES5498-1AA61 fits only one orientation due to keying. Match the module to the specific analog channel number. Each analog channel requires its own separate range module. For an 8‑channel analog card, you need 8 range modules.

Compatibility and System Integration

This range module works with S5 analog input cards exclusively. The Siemens 6ES5498-1AA61 does not function with digital or specialty modules. The host analog card reads the resistor network automatically. No software configuration or scaling is necessary. Consequently, module replacement becomes very straightforward.
